801.11n, more delays.

[JackMDS]

The final 802.11n standard might not be ratified until 2008.

This is terrible.

By the time it comes out there would hundreds of thousands of users with MIMO and preN that go No where.

So be careful before you run and pay $200 for a Wireless Router and a Card.

:sun:

well that's too bad. But according to the article it is delayed for VERY good reasons.

me personally, I wouldn't touch any non ieee standard product.

G is fine for me right now. I can wait until 2008 for N.

Better to get it right than to rush it out to market though -- exactly what we've seen so far.

Randomly guessing here, but I think that once it's out, we'll probably be on 802.11n for a long time. So it'd better be good and interoperable, etc.

Too bad about all the existing (and growing numbers of) pre- and draft-n products. Hopefully there'll be some software improvements available for the draft-n stuff.
