USB peripherals are here to stay but this latest accessory unties you from USB cables. You can soon buy Wireless USB kits from D-Link that will allow you to transfer photos from existing digital cameras to any laptop computer though the standard USB ports but without any USB cables.
Not just digital cameras - anything that connects to your computer via USB will go cable free - so you can send jobs to the printer, transfer presentations to USB Flash drives, copy video from the camcorder, backup computer data to external hard drives, connect to the webcam or even the VOIP phone without using wires.
Simply connect the Wireless USB Adapter to your computer and plug the USB devices such as digital cameras, scanners or the external hard drives to the 4-Port Wireless USB Hub.
The DUB-9240 Wireless USB Kit is expected to ship in Q4 and will cost around $200. Pricing for the DUB-2240 Wireless hub and DUB-1210 wireless adapter will be around $100 each. Read PR.

Will there be a compromise on data transfer speed?
I still need to connect USB device to somewhere, I rather prefer to connect it to pc directly instead of spending around INR 10000 for yet another intermediatory gadget.

It is something like, connect USB device to a bluetooth device, connect bluetooth device to notebook...
Am I right?
