Some people can't get past the low capacity of the iPhone what's the use of a huge screen if you can't store a bunch of movies on it (the iTunes-available film "High Fidelity, takes up 1.25 GB of space)?

" That is, if everything works out the way the electronics industry hopes. Every couple of years, it rolls out another flavor of faster, better Wi-Fi equipment, bearing such uninspired names as 802.11b and 802.11g. This year's edition, of course, is 802.11n, which is supposed to offer two huge advantages over the popular "b" and "g" types: 5 times the speed and 15 times the range. That would be a big deal, if it were true. It would mean, for example, that the signal from just one transmitter -... (International Herald Tribune -- Technology)

While the group would like to see a final standard before placing its seal-of-approval on products, the organization sees 802.11n "as a strong catalyst for industry growth," according to Hanzlik.

Your Wireless Network is Slower Than You think Jul 21, 2006
"Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal range.". So this begs the question, "How fast can you actually download data over a wireless network?" Well, it depends on a number of factors. (SmallBusinessComputing)
