I think calling this a gimmick is a little too cynical, don't you think? I would applaud D-Link for stepping in the right direction, rather than just passing this off as another cash grab.
I could be wrong, but I'm looking at the bright side here.
For a gadget lover point of view: if this tech makes it into laptops, we can expect to get longer battery life when plugged into an Ethernet. Admittedly, it's only a few minutes longer...and it's at a time when we probably have access to wall power.
