When n-standard wireless is a built-in feature on laptops, this will be more useful as the dongle will no longer be required. I can imagine that some will use this so they can work anywhere in the house or garden with their laptop, but still access all their USB peripherals that are sat wherever their desk is...
Although, it doesn't really add any new capabilities. Why not just buy a network-enabled printer (or one of the increasing range of routers with USB print-server built in), and work things that way? I can't think of one benefit it will offer me. Ah well, someone will buy it. Not me (or Steve!)
