The process of pulling all the data together, cross checking it for consistency and errors and making sense of it all reminds me of why I don’t do "round-ups" more often. And certainly not comparisons of six products that require so much testing! But I hope the results are worth it.

On another note, my thanks to those of you who have given some of your valuable time and taken our Site Survey. The results are used not only to try to better match advertisers to you, our audience, but some of the questions provide important feedback on our strengths and weaknesses, that I really do take to heart and act upon. If you haven’t taken the survey, please help SmallNetBuilder and take it and know that you have my sincere thanks.

Update:Has Airgo no shame?

Just before Monday broke here on the East coast, Qualcomm (which minutes later announced that it was acquiring Airgo) "announced the availability of the world's first chipset offering full support for Draft 2.0 of the IEEE 802.11n standard". As Glenn Fleishman points out in his post, since Draft 2.0 won't be voted on until March of next year, this announcement is pitching a chipset that is based upon a "draft of a draft".

We all knew that at some point Airgo would come off its mountain and wallow in the pre-standard mud along with Broadcom, Atheros and Marvell. So I guess if you're going to get dirty, you might as well set a new standard. Congratulations to both Airgo and its proud new owner Qualcomm for establishing a new low in WLAN marketing practices.
