You may remember the Serial > Bluetooth adapter [1].
Same concept, but this goes to USB instead of wireless. Honestly though, what modern devices use serial?
I'm thinking this is for using old devices on (new) computers without a serial port (read: Macs).



IO Data Device Corporation will release the "USB-RSAQ3" USB-RS232C conversion adapter in the middle of October. The price is 8,000 yen.

By using this produced, modems and terminal adapters connecting by RS-232C can be used o­n computers that may not have this port. The cable length is 1m. It supports plug and play. Supported operating systems are Windows 98, ME, 2000 Pro, XP, Mac OS 9.0.4+, and Mac OS X 10.1+.
