New iPod Touch Has an 802.11n Chip

Posted by kdawson on from the more-and-more-like-a-little-tablet dept.

eggboard writes "iFixIt has discovered a Broadcom 802.11a/b/g/n chip in the just-announced iPod touch (32 GB and 64 GB) models that uses single-stream 802.11n. Single-stream doesn't get the full power of N, but it boosts speed enough that — along with space-time block encoding, a feature coming soon to Wi-Fi access points with two or more radios — the iPod touch could be an effective networked media server, for streaming and transfer, possibly through the new iTunes Home Sharing feature."

    It's become traditional on Slashdot that Apple products be proudly displayed on the front page without links, because most Apple products discussed on Slashdot don't really exist either. Didn't you get the memo?

    Cures cancer too. But not AIDS or world hunger. You need the multistream version for that.
