Not sure I agree with that. I've been using my Looperlative LP1 with
my Macbook via a Netgear ethernet switch for performances for quite
some time. An ethernet switch isn't all that different from having a
USB hub. (Well, except it's harder to accidentally pull an ethernet
cable out!) It seems to me that more and more devices are using
ethernet all the time - check out the Muse Receptor - it uses an
ethernet connection - I know several guys who travel with Receptors.
Also, some of the new sample based orchestral production systems are
using ethernet for comms between multiple sample playback computers...

I've also used a Reactable with OSC over ethernet - it would be VERY
cool to control my MOTM with a Reactable!
