I would say it probably is safe, however I do find it troubling that
industry pushes devices like these to mass market before the _long-term_
effects on human health are determined. This is also true, I think, for
GM crops as well as anti-depressant medications.  There are no scientific
studies that can conclusively or even plausibly show that long-term
exposure to Wi-Fi or GM crops (in the order of 20 plus years) is safe.
We are playing way too fast and loose with these things.

Let's not forget that the inventor of DDT won the Nobel Prize. But
that chemical's long-term side-effects were only discovered much later.
