Fonera 2.0n web applications router now available in the US

It can get a bit confusing at times amid all the announcements about announcements, but the folks at FON have now finally confirmed that their Fonera 2.0n “web applications” router is indeed available in the US, and for the bargain price of just $99. As its name suggests, in addition to functioning just fine as a regular 802.11n router, this one will also let you manage a whole host of web applications like Twitter, Facebook or Flickr even when your computer is turned off — finally giving you the ability to, for instance, tweet when an upload or download has completed (a surefire way to hang onto those followers you’ve amassed). Still not up to speed on all this Fonera business? Don’t worry, there’s a helpful video after the break.
