Sigh... No, because B is bad and B is dead. There is no reason to use
B.

G, on the other hand, is quite alive and well, and has significant
advantages over N in portable devices. Lower power consumption, fewer
antennas, and lower cost due to smaller silicon area and fewer
components.

Furthermore, there is no benefit to higher throughput, as far as a
music streamer is concerned - 20Mbps actual throughput is no better
than 10Mbps when you're streaming at a maximum of 0.75Mbps. And there
is not much to be gained in terms of range, beyond what is gained by
having an N AP.

The iPhone 3g does not have 802.11n. Was it just beyond the
capabilities of a $100B company, or could there be another reason?
