Intel said late Wednesday that it is revising the availability of a Wi-Fi part for its Centrino bundle of chips, marking the second time the chipmaker has delayed its arrival.
The Wi-Fi gear market continued to pick up pace last year, with shipments and revenue rising more than twofold as prices fell and customers adopted new technology, according to a new report.
Chipmakers Broadcom and Philips Semiconductors are set to announce Monday smaller and more power-efficient Wi-Fi chips, a move that could revitalise the prospects of the popular 802.11b standard.
New wireless networking chips for handheld devices are giving second life to the 802.11b standard and could soon test the theory that Wi-Fi and mobile data services can work hand in hand rather than compete.
A Southern California man pleaded guilty to spamming people through unprotected hot spots, the first-ever conviction under the Can-Spam Act, and a case that again raises concerns about the risks of open-access Wi-Fi service.

Intel wants desktop PCs to double up as network hubs and video recorders, a move that could make life tough for the companies that produce those standalone products.
Intel on Wednesday took the wraps off a pair of upcoming chip technologies.
The potential of public wireless local area networks has been well documented but there are some very real obstacles that need to be overcome.
Sony's two new Palm OS 5-based Clie models will get Wi-Fi capabilities - and one will capture movies as well.
It seemed to be an obvious recipe: take two popular emerging technologies and stir vigorously. But the end result isn't to everyone's taste.
Toward the end of the year, more people will be talking to their notebooks.
The chipmaker ventures farther into the market for portable devices with an all-in-one chip for mobile phones, with the promise of richer multimedia features that don't frazzle batteries.
