Although they're not exactly in the same league with the likes of Belkin, Gefen or IOGEAR, the people over at Kensington are really trying their best in order to make a name for themselves on the computer peripherals' market, coming up with all sorts of innovative and interesting products for today's technology-passionate users.
And that's exactly how we could describe the device you're about to see as follows, namely the Wireless USB Docking Station, which offers users several useful connectivity options, including here wireless access to one's external monitor and various USB devices. Practically, what the Wireless USB Docking Station does is act as a middleman between one's computer and their external display, audio device or various USB devices. All the users have to do is equip their computer with a Wireless USB enabled adapter and then hook up everything they might want to the docking station. Of course, there are some limitations to the number of devices Kensington's station can accommodate, given by the number of available ports. Thus, the gadget sports five USB ports, as well as one DVI port (with DVI to VGA adapter included) and a stereo output (for connecting an external speaker). It's also important to mention that the docking station works with monitors up to 1680x1050 resolution and standard size monitors up to 1600x1200, while the range is limited to a rather disappointing 15 feet (4.57 meters). Since wireless USB technology is a very new and revolutionary data transfer method, it's no surprise that it comes at a rather hefty price tag. So, you'll have to cough up around 230 US dollars in order to get this thing, but then again, that's the price of innovation, of being among the first to enjoy the USB's functionality without any attached wires. |
