Alereon and Stonestreet announce integrated ultrawideband (UWB) for Compact Flash, Secure Digital: The combination of software and hardware can be used with Windows Mobile and CE. This would allow makers of handheld devices and smartphones using the operating systems to add UWB without redesigning their products. UWB had a kind of coming-out party at the Consumer Electronics Show last week, with devices shown that had never before seen the light of day. Actual shipping UWB products are expected as soon as this month, at long last.
