I must say all this grief about WiFi does make my own woes about the bloody playlists seem rather trivial
On the other hand... Maybe it makes the question of playback controlled by gofigure over Bluetooth without WiFi involvement even more urgent
I can say that when I switched the WiFi hosting from the 2go to my phone it seemed that there was a bump in SQ of the sort usually associated with reduction in noise. That is to say more detail.
I also wonder if part of the whole problem with WiFi on Poly and 2go might be technical issues of shielding the audio circuit from WiFi related electromagnetic noise in devices that have such a small form factor. Maybe this kind of issue drove some of the technical choices made in the WiFi chips and not just costs.
I remember trying to use the mojo strapped to an active phone and it being impossible due to the WiFi and mobile data noise breaking through from the phone. I ended up having to use an older phone in airplane mode exclusively for the mojo - not ideal as I then had two phones to carry around.
I am finding it a little difficult to believe that in a device with a final price point of £1000 that the money saved by not using a superior WiFi chip would be significant, but it might be so. Just what do these chips actually cost?
