The AR6003 is billed as not just a rare single-chip 802.11n Wi-Fi part for smartphones and other handhelds but also the fastest of its kind. It takes advantage of features that aren't always used in 802.11n to boost the maximum speed up to 85Mbps in real situations when on the 5GHz band. The technique has t... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/02/atheros.ar6003.promises.85mbps.on.phones/ Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/13/apple.touch.devices.may.get.radio.app/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/ipodnano5g-fm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A rumor today claims that Apple is developing software to expose FM radio tuning for certain models of the iPhone and iPod touch. The software would likely have the same feature set as the current iPod nano and could tag songs to buy them in iTunes; the Internet connection would appropriately give the option of buying the song immediately instead of waiting for the next computer sync. Though not... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/13/apple.touch.devices.may.get.radio.app/ Tue, 13 Oct 2009 21:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/12/eee.keyboard.specs.revealed.at.fcc.tests/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/eeepcfccintro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />ASUS' Eee Keyboard is nearing production status, as it has been spotted in an FCC filing recently.

The move officially takes the wireless spec out of the draft status it has been in since 2006 and lets companies develop 11n hardware knowing that it will work properly with any device that supports the technology. Officials plan to publish the final standard in mid-October.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/11/ieee.approves.80211n.at.last/ Fri, 11 Sep 2009 21:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/11/ipod.touch.has.broadcom.11n.part/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/ipodtouch3g-teardown.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple's new iPod touch has a partly neutered 802.11n Wi-Fi chip inside, according to a find by repair house iFixit. The media player is officially listed only as supporting 802.11g, but the Broadcom BCM4329 (PDF) chipset inside can technically use the much faster, 300Mbps maximum wireless standard. It also includes an FM transceiver and could theoretically support both radio stations as well as ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/11/ipod.touch.has.broadcom.11n.part/ Fri, 11 Sep 2009 20:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/20/chumby.software.in.gadgets/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0810/chumby-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Executives at Chumby have said on Thursday that they plan on bringing the gadget's software to other consumer electronics via a series of partnerships.
