I'd say exactly the same thing about bluetooth, tbh - I was expecting it to be ubiquitous by now but it hasn't really made that much headway. Then again, bluetooth doesn't really seem to bring anything extra to the table (apart from the lack of wires, obviously!) - it's not got much range, and the wires it replaces - headsets / USB data cables etc. - are not particularly large or bulky, so they don't really *need* replacing. Also, bluetooth hasn't really been pushed much beyond mobile phone headsets (as far as I can see, anyway) - it's far from ubiquitous even in logical markets for it like laptops.

I'm personally hesitant to replace wired systems when they work perfectly well, unless the system brings a significant advantage. Clearly, a standardised high bandwidth wireless solution that would work with printers, external storage, headphones, mice, keyboards and all other peripherals off a single controller would pretty much fit that, so here's hoping
