I see no rules prohibiting either of those items from being used with the Operator Interface. And that would surely win the "cool as beans" award in my book.

Wireless N:
Greg covered it well.
WiFi wireless networking comes in several flavors, they are all called 802.11 after the IEEE section where they are defined, with the first being 802.11a, the next 802.11b, and so on. Current latest and greatest commercially is 802.11n.
