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? -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61579 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
