All hail Fonality! This is awesome news for the VOIP / Asterisk community. The price is well withing reason and sure to bring Asterisk more mainstream. I love forward thinking companies.

Fonality, you're awesome.

802.11N is truly less than exciting. 802.11A uses 5.4Ghz and has poor range, 802.11B has the best range and shares channels, and radio frequencies with 802.11G, 802.11G is 5 times faster than 802.11B, and is backward-compatable (mostly)with 802.11B, but has range limits. 802.11N claims better range, but ONLY due to MIMO features (multiple in/out) requiring multiple antennas per access point (you can pretty much give up the idea of using different antennas for better range or patterns. I am realatively happy with 802.11B for internet access and pleased with 802.11G for file transfers, I won't rush out and waste my money on 802.11N even if it is ratified. The reason 802.11N isn't winning approval rapidly is because there is really no need for it and geeks only want it just to have another toy. the theoretical 100+ megabit throughput it nice, but seriously, is that really that great when I have Gigabit to my desktop and 10 Gigabit to my server. In my opinion, 802.11N needs to disappear and IEEE needs to work on the next 802.11? that will have excellent range with a SINGLE antenna (try using lower frequencies, it will help overall range without the need for more power) and bandwidth closer to what is available to my desktop via cat6A cabling (it is just copper twisted pair, but they can get 10 Gigabit on it).

This is absolutely pathetic, for starters, this isn't the first time that Cisco/Linksys has been accused of not releasing GPL meterial, but the iPhone Apple thing is abslutely unrelated. I would argue that this isn't even a direct copyright violation, Ciso MAY have used GPL materials in their iPhone, but they aren't exactly stealing the material either, they should honor the GPL though, but that is repairable. Apple's use of Cisco's iPhone trademark is absolute trademark infringment, and the willfully and knowingly used it without permission, Apple knew the trademark was Cisco's. Somebody needs to think before the speak (or write, or blog). My mother always told me "Better to stay quite and be thought a fool then open up your mouth and remove all doubt".
