Here comes another practical WUSB application (and “native” peripheral) that follows Kensington Wireless USB Dock Station. The IOGear Wireless USB to VGA Kit is touted as an alternate in-room display adapter that can stream HD (720p) within a 30-foot range wirelessly. You could say this is another niche multimedia product for connecting your PC (XP 32-bit, Vista 32-/64-bit) to a projector or a LCD TV. However, when you come across wiring obstacles such as marble and fireplaces, cutting this cord is something that maybe worth $229.95 (MSRP) - street price will dive near Christmas.

The IOGear WUSB to VGA Kit is among the first to be certified by USB-IF, which guarantees the VGA dongle will work with future PCs (or maybe Macs) with native WUSB host. There’s one caveat though: the IOGear (likely powered by DisplayLink) doesn’t support HDCP so while you can playback any 720p ripped movies or movie trailers, Blu-ray playback is out of the question.
