802.11n Wi-Fi standard finally approved

The days of Draft-N is finally over. 7 years after the idea was conceived, the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard is finally approved. With speeds reaching over 300Mbps, it would be the first time in Singapore where the wireless router will be faster than the subscribed ISP speed. :)

According to the Wi-Fi Alliance, most, if not all, of the existing Draft-N routers can be upgraded to the final specification via a firmware update. So for all those existing owners, look out for the firmware update. For those who were waiting for the 802.11n standard, look out for the new routers based on this standard.

For me, I'm just wondering if the next iPhone will support the 802.11n Wi-Fi. Hmm...
