Samsung "Hijacks" Certified Wireless USB with NaBee?

When the announcement came out that Samsung will provide a wireless upgrade using WUSB for its cameras under a different name called NaBee, our first thought was like the company is somehow 'hijacking' the UWB technology. NaBee basically entails plugging a USB dongle into both Samsung camera and PC. After doing that, you can wirelessly upload pictures without using a USB cable.

But after thinking it through, it doesn't make much sense for Samsung to use "Certified Wireless USB" for the special dock and dongle when everything about NaBee - powered by Alereon's AL5000 WUSB chipset - is actually proprietary. We also heard the PC-dongle actually bundles with the driver and software on the flash memory needed to install NaBee on any computers. Presumably, Nabee will stay with us for a while until Samsung fully embraces Wireless USB so we could forget all the add-ons with weird names. Look for NaBee to hit retail shelves in December.
