James,
re your comment:
... It wouldn't take much to add an IP header to it..
That is what the 3GPP^1 has been working toward lo these many years and
the standards are now emerging as the Long Term Evolution (LTE^2 )
technology for IMT-Advanced^3 (informally referred to as 4g) mobile
Kevin,
what is important about Nokia's assertion about building an Internet
Tablet that supports WIMAX in the U.S. ~2.4 ghz frequency band has to do
with two thing primarily:
a) Nokia would like to get a piece of the market action with a big
U.S. customer like Sprint, who up until now

Gary,
I agree that bluetooth tethering is a great solution/workaround to the
need to sometimes use the N8XX as a voice communications device. The
problem I have is that when I have bluetooth + CDMA/EVDO turn on on my
mobile phone, it runs down the battery very quickly. I

I take some of that back -- I remember using PGPfone over a dialup in
'95 and its performance at the time was impressive. Compare that to the
first GSM network going live in '91. But PKI's use in GSM is only for
network authentication and not en/decipherment of all traffic. Either

OK enthusiasts, when is this going to happen? I talked about this a
lot with attendees of the last Ohio LInuxfest and it is clear that the
next generation of this device needs a phone. I know that there will
be squabbles with the carriers about not being able to lock down the
features (in the US
I can't imagine Nokia commenting on this publicly ...
I agree though - dedicated wireless would be very cool. The first
take will be the WiMax enabled device which should show itself
sometime in Q2 from what I've read. You'll need to live in a place
that can take advantage of this of course,

I couldn't agree more. The Internet Tablets are for the post-phone
era (which, IMO, can't come soon enough).

follows through on its announced intent (I think they will), then that
