IOGear USB Net ShareStation - USB Audio Streaming over WiFi

With peripheral sharing station that can now emulate USB on a network, one wonders if anyone will shell out for a $200 Wireless USB hub which basically does the same task except on another radio spectrum. (Alereon earlier has promised WUSB chip that tops 240Mbps effective bandwidth. This may help to improve usability but still enough not to lower the price needed to give WUSB push into mainstream.)

IOGear's USB Net ShareStation is another non-WUSB hub that lets share any USB devices on Wifi or Ethernet at an affordable price of $79.95. While it looks like a cheap print server with an RJ-45 jack on one side and a USB port on other, the ShareStation can actually share not only MFPs, storage but also USB webcams and speakers. Supporting USB speakers is really the first of its kind, and pioneers USB audio streaming over LAN. Though, the bandwidth-hungry multimedia products may require wired connection for optimal performance. We are kinda hoping USB TV is also on the compatibility list too. Perhaps version 2.0.
