Honestly, I never really heard that much about Wireless USB, a cable-free standard that promises speedy data transfers without wires (duh). But, here’s to hoping it (or any of its competitors) proliferates, so that newer gadgets will have wireless USB capability built-in.

That way, laptops would work with the Toshiba Wireless USB Dynadock out of the box. And that’s a great thing, because the Dynadock—aside from fulfilling the traditional laptop dock role of quickly connecting a portable to peripherals—automatically “plugs in” once a laptop enters its range, and “disconnects” once said gadget leaves the vicinity. Of course, there’s still provisions for wired USBs for backward-compatibility’s sake, but plugging in cables is so 2008.
