The article below mentions discussion of Sprint's WiMAX N800 "on the Maemo mailing list and other places" but I've not seen it here on 'users.' Has this been discussed already or have I been asleep at the wheel? Either way it's exciting news for users here in the States. Perhaps this will encourage some non-US 3G carriers to work with Nokia as well.
-Gary "At the LinuxWorld conference in San Francisco this week, /LinuxDevices/ spoke with Dr. Ari Jaaksi, Nokia's director of open source. ... Jaaksi said the WiMAX-enabled N800 would 'most probably' include WiFi and Bluetooth as well. He felt that interference problems could be minimized, noting, 'We had the same interference with Bluetooth and WiFi initially, but we solved that.' ... He said the new device would likely get more publicity during the process of FCC approval. However, he declined to announce any timeframe for when that might happen, in deference to Sprint. Jaaksi declined to say whose WiMAX chip will go into the planned device. Noting that the WiMAX specifications continue to evolve, he said he believed the device would support Mobile WiMAX initially, with support for additional WiMAX variants to follow. ... Asked whether Nokia might also consider adding a cellular radio chip to its Linux-based Internet tablet in the future, Jaaksi replied, 'It's more a business model than a technology barrier.'" http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS8069179684.html _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
