The other issue is that the 24Mbps is only if it is the only thing you are using. If you happen to be using your headset it drops down to around 12Mbps. Seems we will have a lot of other options including Wireless USB and My Wifi that will be easier and available sooner.
The reason you don't see "certified wireless USB" is that it is not. This is a proprietary device that will not talk to the Certified Wireless USB devices that will be hitting the market in the next few months.
Alereon first showed a camera half that size in a demo with Kodak last June. there are a number of camera manufacturers that are working on integrating wireless USB directly into the camera (no dongle attached). The distance that wireless USB is spec'd out to is 30', it runs at a max rate of 480Mbps at 1m and 110Mbps at 10m. Your mileage may vary, but you should get at least 200Mbps out of it at a reasonable distance. Derek is correct, there are much bigger bottlenecks than the actual pipe.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
