<a href=http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1934543,00.asp>PC Mag (via Extreme Tech)</a> announced that Seagate will demo its wireless hard drive at IDF (Intel Developer Forum, which is going on this week).

The external hard drive was described as a "demonstration," and it was unclear whether the drive would use an external dongle, or whether the technology would be integrated into the printed-circuit-board used by the drive itself. "Wireless USB" is the name of Intel's version of the ultrawideband technology, which works to <u>translate the signals of a standard USB connection and deliver them over a wireless radio</u>.

I'm sure you agree with young Skywalker when he said, "That's not true, that's impossible!", but one could argue it was simply a matter of time before USB moved this direction.
