Here's a very interesting rumor from MacOSrumors about Lucent/Apple wireless plans:"Rumors are rapidly building regarding a new Lucent Technologies
chipset that will not only shrink Apple's AirPort hardware and add
54Mbps (compared to today's 11Mbps) bandwidth support as
previously reported, but would also support the popular Bluetooth
wireless interface technology over standard and high-performance
AirPort bands....allowing Apple to support Bluetooth without conflicting
with its existing AirPort hardware or adding to the wholesale costs of its
computers. If the rumors prove true and Apple does plan to be the first
to market with this technology, it could be a major strategic advantage." AirPort (802.11b) and Bluetooth working together? That would be a very good thing.
