Quicky adds USB support


QuickerTek has expanded the compatibility of its Quicky USB Transceiver, enabling any USB-equipped Apple desktop system to utilize the device to double wireless range at full speed. The device clips to the top of Apple LCD screens, combining a networking transceiver with an external antenna. Setup requires no special computer skills, and no extra steps are required to utilize the Quicky transceiver. The network boosting device delivers up to 10 times more RF wireless power than a stock Power Mac desktop, according to QuickerTek, extending wireless operating distances to make more networks available to the desktop system. Quicky works with all 802.11 b, g, and n Wi-Fi euipment including Apple's new AirPort and AirPort Extreme wireless devices. The Quicky USB Transceiver is priced at $225, and works with Apple's latest Power Macs.

    Intel Macs?

    "... and works with Apple's latest Power Macs." Maybe that's really Intel Macs? Or is compatible back to Power Macs?

    Sledgehammer

    USD:225? Isn't that a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut? If you've got a problem with wireless reception on a desktop, its a lot cheaper to just buy another base station to sit right next to it!?

    Even for a laptop it sounds like far too much money to be justifiable.
