If you remember the iFixit teardown of the Nexus One<\/a>, it revealed the device had a Broadcom chip labeled BCM4329EKUBG<\/a> (which supports Wireless N) and a FM transmitter. Both features were not present when the phone launched on January 5th, but it looks like each is close to being implemented in Android 2.2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Broadcom and Google just released updated drivers for the WiFi chipset which appear to enable Wireless N. Android hacker Steve Kondik (@cyanogen<\/a>) was quick to pull the files into his repo and then @kmobs<\/a> compiled them to run on his Nexus One. After setting his WiFi router to 802.11 N, Mr. Kmobs was able to connect his Nexus One and browse the internets.<\/p>\n

This was captured in a short blurry-cam video.<\/p>\n

If Broadcom and Google have already released these files into the wild, chances are pretty high they have already been implemented in an upcoming firmware. The official Android Open Source Project<\/a> is typically a month behind (or more) the latest Android firmware.<\/p>\n

What other tricks does the Nexus One have up its sleeve?<\/p>\n
