    So which models in particular will have this 802.11n wireless technology? Interesting to see the improvement over legacy notebooks.

    I would assume it will be available in all ThinkPads sooner or later. Possibly in their 3000 Family series aswell. Did I miss something or did they not announce when this would be available? I looked on the Lenovo website and did not see anything about this...

    My sales rep told me 3 days ago that they were 3-4 weeks away from getting the cards.

    Oh. I talked to a sales rep last week and was told they would be ready in mid-November. Hopefully I'll get my T60 by 2010...

    2010. What will happen to the Intel cards then? Stop being used? Will there be a price increase for this added mobility?
