Wireless USB Connects to iPhone
How would you like to connect wirelessly to your iPhone? Imagine sharing your photo’s or [soon to be] video with your TV or monitor without a cable? How about sync your iTunes without the white USB connector, or update contacts, schedules, calendar and more without making a connection. How about getting real crazy and juicing up your iPhone without a plug?
The demonstration consists of a small wireless USB peripheral connected to a typical iPhone or iPod’s edge connector. The adapter enables any iPhone or iPod to both provide extra battery power/charging as well as synchronize wirelessly to iTunes whether on a Windows or MAC OS machine. Future enhancements will enable connectivity to HDTVs for displaying photos or videos.The ultimate vision of Alereon is to have a peripheral device integrated into a wireless dongle of types so that no drivers or software is needed to install on the host computer, it would simply be plug-n-play. Don’t you wonder what the iPhone will be like in 3 years? Alereon press release.
