The main problem is power. If you need a power cord and data, then you may as well just use USB or PoE which do both. Most other wireless needs are already catered for by WiFi or BT.

I wouldn't mind a PoE or wireless big-screen but they're still drawing far too much power, so a kettle lead it is for now.

Gah! One of the things I hate is the number of USB plugs there are - micro/mini/proprietary etc which means you can't get away with a three-headed cable.
