I didn't expect to see IEEE 802.11n _compliant_ product at this time, but I look at what other companies are delivering in the 802.11n space. http://www.wi-fi.org/search_products.php?search=1&advanced=1&lang=en&filter_company_id=&filter_category_id=&filter_subcategory=&filter_cid=&date_from=&date_to=&x=30&y=18&selected_certifications%5B%5D=33 It is the WiFi Alliance that provides certification tests that help ensure interoperability. So there has been a market for WiFi certified 802.11n draft 2 products for several years. Logitech's SMBU decided not to play, that's all. My idea of anticipating 802.11n would have been to release WiFi certified .11n draft 2 now, and take the same ride as the rest of the industy is towards full IEEE .11n compliance. funkstar;461056 Wrote: > Yes, eventually new players will come along with N wireless, just don't > expect them soon.

Please understand: I am not criticising the devlopers, I simply stated that I think it is a pity. Yes, I do think it was a bad decision. You are entitled to differ and the market will ultimately decide. That's what I love about captialism! -- dsdreamer ---------------------- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67882 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
