Actually the difference is this. WiFi is not something that was disabled. If you look at the MSM 7x00 diagram it is NOT part of the chipset, only the interface where the wifi radio/chip can be integrated is part of the chipset. GPS is part of the chipset. Rev.A is completely carrier dependent though. The board is capable of that speed, but it is actually up to the carrier to turn that on.

I carry a backpack with me everywhere. I always have my psp and ipod with me so for me its a nonissue.
And that's a good point. No matter how high rez your video is you're still watching it on a 320x240 screen. Personally I prefer to watch my videos on my laptop my zune or on my 360 through my TV. I was actually more going to the point that these drivers being enabled would actually help everyone out with just battery life whether they use video 3d, or just plain old phone usage.
