I'm thinking about upgrading my iButt to an iBootie. Anyone have any advice on this upgrade?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Make sure to get the iGhetto extension. Trust me, it brings all the nerdgirls to the yard.
Oddly for the iStuff, most iBooties come in black.
Although not on the high level of those rarified earphones....

These in-ear headphones weigh 0.2 ounces without cable and include a wind-up pocket carrying case.
What does the "Fi" in Wi-Fi stand for? I can't believe I've never wondered. Maybe I used to know and forgot ... nah.
My guess is fidelity, like hi fi.

I've had a set of light-weight home stereo headphones from these guys for years - they used to be the dj headphone of choice on comfort and sound because they are so light. I don't know what their reputation is now, but I've never had a problem with their stuff.
But then what does wireless fidelity mean?

I was thinking perhaps field, but Wolfram has the right of it.
Short for wireless fidelity. This is another name for IEEE 802.11b. It is a trade term promulgated by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA). "Wi-Fi" is used in place of 802.11b in the same way that "Ethernet" is used in place of IEEE 802.3. Products certified as Wi-Fi by WECA are interoperable with each other even if they are from different manufacturers. A user with a Wi-Fi product can use any brand of Access Point with any other brand of client hardware that is built to the Wi-Fi standard. >[link]

Turns out it's a marketing term, so we're lucky it means anything at all.
