Alereon to Build Wireless USB Add-on for iPhone

One of the most requested features for iPhone / iPod is wireless sync, and Alereon might be the one to fill the void. The company is now showcasing a peripheral reference design based on its low-power 90nm AL5301 chip that enables wireless USB connectivity through a typical iPhone or iPod's edge connector. The performance should be around 130Mbps (that's bits) since iTunes synchronization belongs to native mass storage applications.

Alereon also goes on to say future enhancements will bring connectivity to HDTVs for photo slideshows & video playback. We reckon companies like Mophie might probably consider building it into its Juice Pack series as the bulky external battery pack can house the Alereon single-chip UWB WUSB solution.
