Belkin's newest WiFI-USB box brings 802.11n and a 5-port hub to the table (or, perhaps, the closet, or another table on the other side of the room), at the cost of specialist software required to bridge the protocols on the host computer's end.
Devices will connect as standard USB: wouldn't it be cool if it assigned USB devices IP addresses or otherwise made them automagically networked? Will I be able to use it to hook up multiple machines to a single USB-only printer? Control more than one computer with a single mouse?
The form factor makes it look like an AirPort's naughty cousin, but this is for Windows first, and will come in summer for about $130. OSX software will follow in August.
