Just out over here is the new adaptor piece that locks the hose to a machine so it doesn't fall off all the time genius! (I hope ) It uses a bayonet type locking system. Strangely the most exciting thing festool have done for a while...I am ordering one. Guess it's not out over the pond yet but if it's any good I am happy to post some over for you guys.

Annoyingly it's only available for certain tools at the moment. I was hoping there was a kind of universal adaptor I could use on other brands of tools too.
Any one know of any other brands doing this or something similar?

Being able to fix the hose in place to the dust port in some way is a very welcome feature for sure. I do like Bosch's "Click & Clean" idea better though. The end of the hose has a ring with 2 tabs on it and you can click that directly into a dust port of a tool. The ends and wands also click onto the hose. It's less cumbersome by making it more elegant and much more compact in my opinion. There is only a couple of things missing to make this a dream. 1) Karcher, Bosch, Fein, Hilti, Flex, or any of the companies that license the Karcher vacuums and hoses to make a 36mm rubber connector to fit on the ouside of dust ports for tools that need better suction than what the 27mm end can give. 2) More tool brands to adopted Bosch's idea and supply dust ports with connecting holes instead of the reguler slip fit ones they put on tools now. 3) Mafell to jump on board A guy can dream can't he... I wish Mafell would contact me, I'd take their dust collection to a whole new level!
