  Intel unplugs AnyPoint wireless line
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Todd Richardson

Intel discontinued sales last week of AnyPoint, its line of wireless home networking cards and access points for consumers, a company representative said. The chipmaker felt the AnyPoint line, whose focus was on ease of install and setup, was made obsolete by Microsoft's Windows XP operating system, which automatically detects and sets up wireless networks, Intel spokesman Tom Potts said.

"It didn't make sense for us to stay in the retail market given that most of our value was taken away with XP," he said. After Windows XP shipped, "we felt we were now a commodity product. Buyers are now shopping on price and form factor. That's not typically a market that Intel is interested in."
