Correct, but NXP, TI (w/ WiLink[1]), Broadcom, Qualcom, Intel,... are shipping similar products.

As someone working in the 'Internet of Things' space, I wasn't so much disappointed with the lack of NFC - as Zigbee/802.15.4. Again, thanks to integrated radios, NFC and Zigbee can be done on the same chip.

The (mass adopted) future will have to wait for another product/hype cycle.

I too would like more Zigbee support. As it stands the modules are overpriced but quite useful.
