UWB isn't even close to being excepted by IEEE and those trying to get UWB going <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/02/19/uwb_group_dumps_ieee/" rel="nofollow">gave up on IEEE</a> over two years ago! Ya, TWO. Look at 802.11n and how long that standard is taking. You really think Apple is going to use a protocal that isn't even ratified yet? Sorry Mtt, but *that's* retarded. Wi-Fi is *not* expensive and the <a href="http://searchmobilecomputing.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid40_gci1150457,00.html?bucket=NEWS" rel="nofollow">latest improvements in battery life</a> is all that Apple is waiting on. With every new Mac fitted standard with Wi-Fi and Airport AP's that are easily set up for full integration, it would be retarded NOT to move to the next step with Wi-Fi. Stay tuned, one of us will be right. :) Retarded? UWB isn’t even close to being excepted by IEEE and those trying to get UWB going gave up on IEEE over two years ago! Ya, TWO.

The last thing I need is a Wifi iPod, specially if I can't turn off the Wifi. My airspace is so crowded that I’ve replaced all bluetooth devices with ‘wired’ ones.
