p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · WFT-E2A vs. coming WFT-E2 II A?

What is the difference between Canon's WFT-E2A, which was released with the 1DM3, versus the upcoming WFT-E2 II A, which will be released with the 1DM4?

I can't find a specific page that compares or contrasts the features and limitations of one over the other. I only found Canon's footnote that says the firmware of the 1DM3 must be upgraded prior to using the new (backwardly compatible, pending firmware) WFT-E2 II A.

Anyone have any insight on what was improved in the version II?

Saw this on dpreview:

"Are you sure that it is the WFT-E2 II A? They were only released to the USA on March 9, 2010. The older model WFT-E2A has been out for sometime now and is slower...no 802.11a protocol or Bluetooth. "

Don't remember seeing anything ever mention bluetooth for the E2IIA though...

And saw this elsewhere for the E2IIA:

"*Requires an update to firmware compatible with EOS-1Ds Mark III. After this, specifications are equivalent to those of WFT-E2A with the addition of IEEE 802.11a wireless networking."

So this makes me think the only difference is "a" networking capabilitiy?
