Friends don't let friends buy G-only devices
"Only Intel (and their logo partners) follows the strict policy of not using dual-channels in the 2.4 GHz band"

I may have mentioned this before. Apple 11n clients do not use wide channels in the 2.4GHz band.

I also lament the continuing propagation of 2.4GHz-only products, but especially among 11n/11g clients. That's unforgivable these days. Let's focus our protests on these manufacturers.

The routers, especially in retail, face a price pressure to get shelf space that is really non-negotiable - unfortunately. The "either/or" 2.4/5GHz solutions are to be commended in this perspective.

I would say, don't buy 2.4GHz-only equipment, even if that means holding off on 11n altogether.
