The TNETW1250 supports 802.11 a/b/g, and can coexist with Bluetooth, GSM/GPRS, CDMA, and EDGE! It would be nice to get <i>all</i> of that on one device wouldn't it? :P TI claims that their chips has a 25% smaller footprint than the competition, meaning more functionality in smaller devices. I can't wait to see a mobile phone manufacturer make a phone with this chip!

VERY COOL!

Now how is the power consumption?
