Wireless USB ? ? ?

Anyone have any experience? I keep seeing web links and small references around.

Anyone have a device with it? Any opinions/comments? I'm really curious about this. I mean, if you can walk up and pop a memory key in to a PC and its all good, what about Wireless USB devices? What about enterprise level support? Etc, etc, etc.

We had one of those laying around for some reason and when one of the girls mobo NIC died we plugged that in and shes been using it ever since. No issues that I am aware of, but she does just surf and check email so i cant comment on Gaming on one.

That seems to be a Wireless NIC, where supposedly Wireless USB you can attach keyboards and mices and such (with emitters of course).

All the pictures are blocked out on that link Mury, so I can't tell for sure, just looking at the label.

Points 5 and 6 give some more info

oo, that is kinda neat.

Hmmm.... and another thing.... are they tied to a particular emitter? What's to prevent one of those Lenovo laptops from coming in and hijacking the monitor to show their latest Hello Kitty movies
