Yes I think we will (at last) see some mLAN products this year.

Unlike USB, mLAN handles the MIDI protocol correctly. It effectively divides
the full mLAN bandwidth into multiple streams at the correct MIDI
bandwidth....so it looks like you have a whole bunch of MIDI ports with each
operating at 31.25Kbits/s. In this way it overcomes the bandwidth
discontinuity (and thus sysex bunching) that USB introduces. Therefore it
should be reliable :-)

I think there will be break out boxes to convert mLAN to standard MIDI
ports. The only reservation si going to be price....as the Firewire chipset
is still (relatively) expensive :-(
