Among six of the new Certified Wireless USB products are Lenovo ThinkPad T61/T61p and Dell Inspiron 1720 notebook, both of which offer WiQuest-powered WUSB option in their BTO models. Dell hasn't updated the BTO page yet so we skip it for now. As for Lenovo, not all T61s allow the WUSB as one particular model with built-in mobile broadband already occupies mini-PCI interface for EDVO. Should you select WUSB, this option may delay shipment up to a month. Most interesting of all is that Lenovo doesn't charge extra for the "ThinkPad Wireless USB Adapter" whereas there's still a $29 option fee for Bluetooth. Whether or not this is another pricing mistake or a freebie as part of WUSB promotional effort remains to be seen. Perhaps you can order one and let us know. About Everything USB
