Exciting news on the 5GHz WiFi testing, it will be very interesting to hear how this can be done. One of the main downsides of the N900 for me was the shared Bluetooth/WiFi antenna which required time division multiplexing when both were in use, switching was only just fast enough for most uses but came up short when streaming A2DP from an internet source. Being able to use 5 GHz WiFi on the N9 removed that multiplexing problem.

I am sure you will be testing for interference with all radios active at the same time but would like to request that you please can you measure the latencies of simultaneous A2DP Bluetooth audio from a source over WiFi.

Finally, does this mean you have settled on a WiFi chipset?
