It was funny, google had the same problem with a recent demo.

Everyman and his dog with a wifi enabled laptop/network/smartphone in one room. No surprise what happened (in hindsight), obvious a suprise to Apple and Google at the times!

Well they should put a 5GHz radio into their phones so they become usable on campus and corporate networks.

At tech, those with dual band N on their machines had an awesome connection to the lan (not the internet because that connection was too small) I never tried my A/B/G card to see if there was any A support on the 5GHz band, but I know that some accesspoints do it.

people with G only had constant disconnections, lag, macs popping up warnings about the security of the network being compromised, windows machines failing to get IP's etc.
