D-Link first out the door with draft 2.0 802.11n certification

We know you've been waiting on pins and needles to hear who got firsties on draft 2.0 802.11n certification from Wi-Fi Alliance -- we sure have. It looks like D-Link is the lucky winner, with its D-Link Xtreme N Router and Xtreme N Notebook Adapter the first products to receive the new badge. That means the two devices will be sporting a new "distinctive and prestigious logo," while D-Link can start boasting of the highest level of forwards compatibility in the wild west of 802.11n products. This doesn't begin to spell doom for draft 1.0 users, but it's always good to see things settle down a bit in that space while we wait another few decades for the spec to finalize.
