Yep, just like BlueTooth, Zigbee, X-10, HomeRF and blah, blah, blah.
Given any k companies from a set of N in an industry, they will form a forum to declare their proprietary twonkies to be the industry standard.
Yawn.
Technology marketing!
More fun than the year of political marketing US folks currently have to suffer, you have to admit.
Philips also announced really low-power 802.11b for cell/mobile phones.
In the US, anyways, we can probalby declare 802.11b part of the "infrastructure," now.
Whereas RFIDs will need low-quality "occasional online" wireless for simple tracking, surveillance, target acquisition, evidence generation in your currency notes, tickets, etc, 802.11 and GSM apps will facilitate communciations, for more intelligent apps, with appropriate wiretapping and realtime tracking built in for realtime interdiction.
Cheers, Scott

Finally, a technology that is produced by major companies that really solves not just a single problem but a huge number of completely different problems, ranging from WLAN access, calendar synchronization, to card reader "emulation".
Only a universal technology like this is likely to become a truly standard item in personal computers. _______________________________________________ Muscle mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.drizzle.com/mailman/listinfo/muscle
