Wireless USB hub for peace of mind

Belkin may be one of those companies, if the "cable-free USB hub" it's about to ship is worthwhile. Not only does the $200 hub work without a cable to the computer but, according to Engadget, Belkin also claims connection speeds of up to 480 mbps as far as 30 feet away. That might be enough to make us forget about all the cords stuffed behind the TV. Almost, anyway.
