One of my locations is moving into a new building in June. We aren't going to go totally wireless, but I want the laptops to be able to connect wirelessly without having to connecto to an access point seperate from the main switch. What are the best switches that integrate wire/wireless?

Think again. Integrating the wired switch and the wireless access point (or router) in a box is not what methinks is a great idea. The switch wants to live where all the wires come together, which is usually in a closet, under a desk, or buried from sight. Meanwhile, the access point wants to live out in the open, up high, in the middle of everything, for maximum radio coverage. Methinks these are mutually exclusive but easily solved by using separate boxes.
