    Hi all,
    I have a wacom board with usb connection.
    Now this cable is way too short with my new apt layout so i was wondering if anyone know of any (bluetooth?) adapters to which you connect a usb-device and make it wireless.

    I'm just looking for a way to make my wacom wireless.
    Does any such device exist?

    USB 2.0 is way faster than BT so they probably could make something like this for USB 1.0 devices (dont know if it exist but its possible) but for a full fledged USB 2.0 device wich is pretty much anything in the last 2 years or so it couldnt work.
