Excellent. Broadcom announces a single chip 802.11b WiFi solution.
The AirForce One BCM4317 integrates the broadband and MAC components customarily offered on one chip with the radio and power amplification units built into current WLAN adaptors on a second chip.
Power reduction is reported (by Broadcom) to be up to 97%! If true (or even mostly true) this will be huge. Presently WiFi is too power hungry for most portable devices. Also this will hopefully crush Bluetooth, as the only reason for that technology was the power savings over 802.11x.

Come on WiFi equipped mobile phone / PDA / camera uber convergence device! You can do it!

I'm thinking of getting T-Mobile to use their internet service. I have a bluetooth-enabled IPAQ PocketPC.

Have you been satisfied with the T-Mobile coverage?
