I love it when good technology, in this case wireless USB, starts generating some real competition. D-Link has joined the ranks with its DUB-1210 wireless USB adapter and the DUB-2240 four port wireless hub. The standards apply, such as a 30 foot range and operation in a frequency range that won’t interfere with other wireless devices.Up to three of the hubs can be connected together, handling just about as many USB devices as any sane person should ever possess. You’ll have to wit until the final quarter of the year, and you’ll be shelling out $119.99 for either or $219.99 for both.

Coming in August is Belkin’s new wireless USB hub which allows you to move off that desk. The hub will give you about a 30 foot range and transfer speeds up to 480Mbps, with full compatibility promised for any "Certified Wireless USB" devices. Price figure heard is around $200 and that includes a wireless USB adapter.

Belkin is releasing a trio of nifty USB hubs. The Swivel Hub ($30) is a 4-port hub that allows for flexibility in positioning the ports for easiest access. The Clip-On Hub ($30) provides two ports and clips in place (obviously). Finally, the Hub-to-Go ($50) provides 7 ports, with three portable ports. Just goes to show that just because USB hub possibilities are nearly infinite, it doesn’t mean some aren’t decent.

Yes, this is just as it appears: a 4-port USB hub with a built-in pirate game. If Tomy can make this, then it proves the theory that USB hubs can come in any form. Pricing and availability are unavailable at this point, but it sure looks like fun. Ahem.

Okay, that’s not true. It’s actually just a hub in the shape of a motorcycle engine that makes (unrealistic, I’m sure) obnoxious engine sounds. The novelty would likely wear off in about, oh, the first few minutes, and I think I’m being generous. If it makes it to the US at its current Japanese price, it’ll be about $43. Again, from SolidAlliance, in case you want to avoid them out of sheer principle.
