The battle many of us have fought
for 20 years with our PCs may soon change. The battle, that is, to get rid of the rat's nest of cables snaking
everywhere behind and beside our PCs and laptops. Apple's PCs famously have minimized and even stylized this clutter,
but for the rest of us with generic PCs, the cable mess is one we'd like to see go away.So, when devices start shipping wit wireless USB later this year, PC owners 'round the world can rejoice. And then, of course, buy all new peripherals (maybe that's what the manufacturers want). Since the new wireless USB standard will be based on UWB, the potential for more interference - like we don't have enough of that already - should be minimized. So, it looks like UWB's breakthrough into the consumer space will be with the PC. Joy.
