While trying to move my laptop across my desk and simultaneously trying to make sure the cables hanging off it didn't snag on anything, it occurred to me that a wireless USB hub would be a brilliant gadget. I know you can get routers etc with USB ports on them, and many devices like printers have wifi built in, but I don't always have easy access to the router to configure them (e.g. on University wifi), and routers aren't really what I want.
I have had a google and can't find anything that looks like what I want, but basically I want a USB hub that would connect to your PC via a wireless technology like bluetooth, so all you'd need to do is stick a small dongle in a USB port, and it would be as if you'd plugged the hub in by a cable. Maybe even a pair of dongles, one male USB, one female that would transmit data just like a cable would be a better solution. Supplementary power supply might be needed I suppose. I imagine I have neglected technical problems that have prevented this from being built already, but a device like that would make using limited desk space so much easier.
I was wondering, what other gadgets would people like to have that aren't currently available?
