WiFi 5GHz?

[rstark18]

At some point Apple will make the iPhone 802.11 N 5GHz compatible. Do you think it will be this upcoming release? Seeing as the iPad2 has it I would think so.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one. Woo ha, faster speeds are always nice.

5Ghz doesn't offer faster speed, it's still 'n'. AFAIK

Yeah the iPhone 4 already uses 802.11n, just on the 2.4 Ghz spectrum. I don't think 5 Ghz is necessary.

The 2.4Ghz spectrum here in the UK is pretty crowded, so although the 5Ghz band doesn't necessarily offer a speed increase as such, the 5Ghz band is 'less cluttered' shall we say.
