This seems good and all (better range and transfer rate), but doesn't Wi-Fi have higher power consumption when compared to bluetooth? Wouldn't it greatly shorten the controller's battery life?

I thought it was a logical assumption that the WiiU tablet will use wireless N or similar tech to handle the bandwitdh/distance?

Would be nice, better specs for anything = always better. What would be even cooler is when you could connect to your WiiU through the internet and you could play wherever you're connected to a hotspot, since it supposidly has WiFi that would just be the next step, but I guess that would defeat the purpose of a handheld.

Wouldn't really care either way though .

This is a... crappy... conversation.

I do that, normally put Rumour tag in front of the title, so it has greater visibility.

If you guys want more information regarding wireless connections, we were discussing this subject on Soundwave's thread yesterday. Just go read just a few post @ http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=146883

I hope it can be hacked into using it as second monitor for PC.

I think we would all prefer an X-ray device hack.

That confirms, there's a sexy woman trapped inside every fat man.

lol people getting hyped and then when its not real they hate Nintendo for it

too bad we won't get any WiiU news in tomorrows ND

The only thing I know about wireless is that when I changed my adsl to cable, the Co. said that we had to go wireless because they couldn't extend the cable through the house.

My PC got at most 30% of the signal and run internet like sh!t. But on my Wii, which is next to my PC, it worked flawlessly.

If this is true, I hope it works well.

I don't think it would run on Wi-fi, but on some other more optimized tech. Wifi lags of 60 ms (which is about what I get ping time from 1 pc to another over wifi) will be enough to be noticed (at least by controller lag haters like me). Its probably using that 2.4 ghz band, but I don't think it'll be wifi.
