802.11N is picking up steam. No, Wifi isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Somewhere in the $40-$80 range. There are a couple announcements from early 2007 hinting at something like $55. This may or may not have changed.

It should be fairly obvious. No need for a cellphone/only need to carry one device, no Bluetooth-imposed speed limits, potentially better access terms than 3g, etc.
