      <title><![CDATA[Now, Wi-Fi comes to gaming]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[Outside the PC and network equipment markets, the gaming space has really been the first market segment to embrace Wi-Fi. More than 26 million handheld game devices with embedded Wi-Fi shipped out in 2005, with 28 million of these Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable (PSP) devices expected to ship in 2006, according to In-Stat, a market research firm.

PlayStation 3

According to In-Stat, in late 2005, Microsoft began the newest cycle of gaming consoles with its launch of the XBox360. Microsoft’s 802.11a/g USB gaming adapters are sold as an accessory to the XBox360 for $99 and feat ..]]></description>
