I saw the device reported this last week or so, and even before seeing reference to the broadcom radio, I saw the list price of $140. There are better options at that price point. Also, I have yet to become enamoured of 802.11n. My experiences so far, although limited, were not positive. Two nearby Cisco/Linksys N routers (one of the sleek-looking black models) rendered the RF medium unusable. 802.11g is way faster than your internet connection, so all the marketing language (even if it was true) about super high bandwidth 11n is mostly useless. -- Russell Senior, President russ...@personaltelco.net _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
