I generally agree with your comments here but not this one. I'd bet the
decision driver here for the company is maximum interoperability, not
component cost. The cost is not that significant, and what is at issue
is a strategic market decision. So long as G routers/APs continue to be
sold and have a greater than trivial presence in homes (and if N routers
continue to be G+N), it would be a mistake to make a product that
doesn't work with G. Maybe dual standard cards might be used at a future
date?
There are many Wifi component suppliers, high-ish part prices don't
last long in such markets.
Both N class client devices and N class infrastructure devices are are
backwards compatible with other G equipment.
Sure they are, but Logitech is a commercial company. If the competition
offers N consumers will start to make buying decisions influenced by the
lack of N. G will soon get the 'old technology' badge. It would be a
very bad decision commercially NOT to switch to N.
Even with existing users. I don't think I'll buy myself a 'touch' even
though they seem nice, but if they had N that would be one more reason
for me to buy one. I kown all the arguments you guys make and I know my
networking but I'd go for an N device if I had the choice.

Peter
