Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Late last week, the new Xbox 360 802.11n Wi-Fi adaptor was uncovered in a Gears of War
2: Game of the Year edition console bundle, courtesy of a relatively
obscure Spanish Xbox website.
Joystiq has since reported that Microsoft has confirmed said Wi-Fi
adaptor, without releasing price details or a release date.
The move can be seen as one of Microsoft’s defensive mechanisms against
the increasingly popular PS3 Slim, which doesn’t include 802.11n
support. Who knows, maybe a retaliation from Sony is in order..?
There are a number of other reasons as to why Microsoft would release
such an adaptor, rather than simply to ‘one-up’ Sony. Our American
friends have the Zune HD, which features 802.11n and the new adaptor
would therefore encourage friendly streaming between the Microsoft
devices. The other major benefit will of course be Xbox Live, as recent
routers are increasingly equipped with 802.11n capabilities.
According to Microsoft, the Xbox 360's 802.11n Wi-Fi adaptor will allow
gamers to "seamlessly connect with their home network with the highest
wireless 'N' technology."
More details on this new Wi-Fi adaptor will be posted when available.
