Despite the manufacturers already selling "pre n" devices, the members of the IEEE 802.11 rejected the first draft of the 802.11n standard. According to Airgo Network who's part of it, it's not mature yet and lacks stability.
A battle may ensue between those who have already started selling products based based on this draft of a standard and those who prefered to wait. The first ones will do their best so the evolution will be minimal and allow their products to be upgraded. Their reputation is at stake, considering some big brands such as Linksys, Belkin or D-Link already took a chance on the draft standards.
Anyway, independent tests proved that the products are not only incompatible with one another, but also their performances are far from what's expected.
It will now take until mid-2007 for this standard to be fixed.
