Jagalicious Fresh

CNET’s Crave Blog has an article about Wireless USB, a technology that’ll eventually allow you to plug things like hard drives, digital cameras, and other USB devices into a hub and use them wirelessly. It’s a neat technology, sure: I’d love to be able to access my hard drives while my laptop is anywhere in the house, but I can do that over the wireless network now…

…what I CAN’T do now is something demonstrated in the article: wireless external monitor. The article shows a large external screen being used with a MacBook Air as a secondary monitor. SUH-WEET!

One of the things I’ve disliked about my MacBook Pro was that, despite how portible it generally is, every time I sit down at my desk, I find myself plugging in a million things. USB for the iPhone and keyboard, FireWire for my backup drives, Ethernet for a faster connection than WiFi (when you’re uploading high res photos, it really does make a difference), and a big clunky pain-in-the-ass DVI port for my external monitor. Make a couple of those wireless for me and you’ve got a happy Jagalicious.
