Bluetooth is a pretty decent personal area network already.  Using 802.11 and the TCP/IP stack seems to be overkill.  KVMoE notwithstanding, why would you want to extend the range of such peripherals?  To me, this would only invite a security hole.  At least with bluetooth, your peripherals are within reach/vision and the setup is just simple enough to get up and running while providing some security measures to keep your machine from being pwned. Plus, can you say waste of IP address.  <br><br>Seriously, I've seen a lot of dumb technology exposed by Engadget and I wish it would stop (being created, that is, not being covered by Engadget)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jamie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 10:04AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ozmo's WiFi PAN mouse cuts the wires and the Bluetooth]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/ozmos-wifi-pan-mouse-cuts-the-wires-and-the-bluetooth/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/ozmos-wifi-pan-mouse-cuts-the-wires-and-the-bluetooth/</guid><description><![CDATA[Bluetooth: U HAS 2 PAI US TEH ROYALTIEZ 2 USE BLUETOOTH<br>Ozmo: O RLY?<br>Bluetooth: YEZ<br>Ozmo:DEN ILL JUS MAK MAH OWN STANDARD!!!11!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chuckles McGee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 10:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ozmo's WiFi PAN mouse cuts the wires and the Bluetooth]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/ozmos-wifi-pan-mouse-cuts-the-wires-and-the-bluetooth/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/ozmos-wifi-pan-mouse-cuts-the-wires-and-the-bluetooth/</guid><description><![CDATA[This connects directly to the computers wlan card or to through the router?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[deyanimay]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 10:05AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ozmo's WiFi PAN mouse cuts the wires and the Bluetooth]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/ozmos-wifi-pan-mouse-cuts-the-wires-and-the-bluetooth/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/ozmos-wifi-pan-mouse-cuts-the-wires-and-the-bluetooth/</guid><description><![CDATA[Directly to the wireless interface on the computer. Going through the router introduces too much delay and things like mice would be hard to use because of the lag.  WPAN via 802.11 has two problems to address: how to talk directly to the computer without interfering with computer-router net traffic, and the power consumption problem. Ozmo has answers for both, they claim. In fact they say their WiFi PAN solution consumes much less power than even Bluetooth. It'll be interesting to see where this goes; Bluetooth is really well established in phones, GPS devices, and peripherals, and will be hard to unseat no matter how much better a new solution is.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cvk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 10:57AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ozmo's WiFi PAN mouse cuts the wires and the Bluetooth]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/ozmos-wifi-pan-mouse-cuts-the-wires-and-the-bluetooth/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/ozmos-wifi-pan-mouse-cuts-the-wires-and-the-bluetooth/</guid><description><![CDATA[Okay, USB 2.0 isn't good enough?

I'd love to have a keyboard/mouse that with a single button switches between phone/laptop/desktop. With more phones starting to support wifi this could be feasible. But then again there is no technical reason Bluetooth couldn't do this (or more likely some devices already do).<br><br>What Wi-Fi PAN really needs to take off isn't so much the hardware, thats been done. What it really needs is cross platform drivers with a well designed software stack such that the vast majority of devices don't need vendor specific drivers. Perhaps an extra layer of abstraction that allows programs to access these devices in terms of exchanging high level objects, alleviating the pain of writing platform dependant device interfaces. This layer would completely encapsulate the sharing of devices.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sam]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 11:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ozmo's WiFi PAN mouse cuts the wires and the Bluetooth]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/ozmos-wifi-pan-mouse-cuts-the-wires-and-the-bluetooth/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/ozmos-wifi-pan-mouse-cuts-the-wires-and-the-bluetooth/</guid><description><![CDATA[EMoShunz guess right!<br><br>Anyway, could www.Haarg.com be another way to communicate?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mr Haarg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 11:13AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ozmo's WiFi PAN mouse cuts the wires and the Bluetooth]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/ozmos-wifi-pan-mouse-cuts-the-wires-and-the-bluetooth/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/ozmos-wifi-pan-mouse-cuts-the-wires-and-the-bluetooth/</guid><description><![CDATA[no]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[andres]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 12:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ozmo's WiFi PAN mouse cuts the wires and the Bluetooth]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/ozmos-wifi-pan-mouse-cuts-the-wires-and-the-bluetooth/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/ozmos-wifi-pan-mouse-cuts-the-wires-and-the-bluetooth/</guid><description><![CDATA[So I see mention of USB 2.0, but maybe that isn't fast enough.
