Having a presentation 2 months in advance of the product is a bit desperate Belkin... However if this is Airgo's answer to 11n then it'll probably smack Broadcom and Marvell all over town. And FINALLY we have one with a USB adapter option which is nice to see. It's a very convenient connection, with little fuss or opening up the pc. What need to see more of is a range of adapters that all come out with the router product, i.e. mini pci (laptop), mini pci-e (newer laptop), USB, pcmcia, expresscard, pci-e and pci. Belkin did a good job before, let's hope that continues.
