Kensington has announced the world's first Certified Wireless USB docking station. It is the first real test for ultrawideband and WUSB as the dock combines USB display, audio and a 5-port USB hub. The USB display is handled by DisplayLink which enables the dock to output a max res of 1600 x 1200 or 1680 x 1050 widescreen. The WUSB is powered by WiQuest's Mini Card reference design that enables wireless USB audio as well. It's a million dollar question how WUSB manages the bandwidth so all these would function properly. It's already hard enough for USB 2.0 to run a 19" monitor, let alone letting WUSB with a knowingly low effective bandwidth takes over. Wireless range is also a concern; Kensington says the Docking Station will work within 15 feet - presumably with no walls in between. It's important to note that Kensington will initially work with Windows XP and 32-bit Vista only. Dell will also be the exclusive retail channel. You might get a discount off the $229.99 price tag if you put the dock in the shopping cart with your brand new Dell WUSB-embedded laptop. If cutting the wire isn't your top priority, Kensington sd200v dock is essentially the same thing for the most parts. - Get Kensington Wireless USB Docking Station now for $94.94 at Amazon.com Marketplace
