Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth are standards, though sadly, the Lumia 900 ships with Bluetooth 2.1, practically antique compared with the new Bluetooth 4.0 standard we’re starting to see in mobile devices.

Furthermore, it was much anticipated by the tech gurus that if Apple does not lower the price of their new tablets, the iPad 2 probably will see a price difference.
