    Is wireless USB the technology of the future or now?
    Would it be worth me getting it now for $150 (battery-life wise, etc.), if the price is not an issue for me? I realize that it is not widely supported now, but it may be 3 years from now...

    I bet it would go through several revisions before being widely used, so personally, I would save the money for now.
