Is it really only 3cm? That's not even enough for audio/video receivers,
DVD players, televisions, etc., unless it's hanging out on a dongle with
a wire, in which case you can just have it all wired. Remember when 1394
was going to be on every audio/video component? At some point the
electronics for a single viable wireless or wired interface will cost
less than putting a bunch of connectors on every device.
