Hey #HiveMind,

Is there such a thing as a generic USB-Wireless bridge device?

My idea is that I like my #Wacom tablet, but it'd be cool if it was #wireless, even if that meant it'd have to be twice as thick.

Some kind of generic wireless bridge for #USB that just passed USB commands bidirectionally without changing anything would be really neat. Plug the dongle into the USB host, and the other side (with a battery) into the USB guest, and presto changeo, the wired device becomes a wireless one, and neither devices are the wiser.

Anyone seen anything like this? I'm guessing there might be a way to do it with a couple zigbee devices or something like that, but I've never messed with that.
