Yes.

True, although I think that *most* pre-N manufacturers released their goods
just to gain market share but still fully intended to support the "real" N
standard (via a software upgrade) when it was fully ratified.

OK.

All protocols do; there's no reason to believe that TransferJet will have
greater or fewer warts than USB or Bluetooth.

I guess I don't know what I'm missing with SD cards and CF? I agree there's
nothing wrong with Memory Stick, but I've never been attracted to it either --
it always cost noticeably more for the same storage than with other formats.

Yep.

For something that works over all of 3cm, you might as well just have a
standardized docking port. iPods, ironically enough, have become a de-facto
docking port connector standard!
