WiMAX Internet Tablet Update
 
Quote:

Here's more proof of the upcoming WiMAX enabled Internet Tablet. It seems like Nokia is working with Alvartion Ltd., and Cisco, and Mocano Telecom on establishing a Center of Excellence on WiMAX aiming to provide cosumers VoIP, streaming video, and an always on-line experience through their mobile device. Alvarion is bringing in their 4Motion Open WiMAX solution, Cisco is providing seamless WiMAX mobile integration via their Broadband Wireless Gateway, Nokia is bringing in a WiMAX 2.5GHz compatible Internet Tablet, and Monaco Telecom is experimenting on the solution at Tunisia. According to Ari Virtanen, Vice President, Convergence Products at Nokia:Working with Alvarion, Cisco and Monaco Telecom is a great step towards making Mobile WiMAX available for consumers and fits perfectly with our strategy of offering a broad and innovative portfolio of devices.In the US, WiMAX will be via Sprint's XOHM. Expect the new internet tablet sometime April - May. Read the full article.

Sweet; I am really hoping for a new internet tablet. Something that is considerably better than the current version hopefully.

For me, the "perfect tablet" would have all the features of the N810 plus:

- WiMax
- OMAP3430
- IR send/receiver (so it could be a universal remote)
- Front-facing 2-4 megapixel camera with video capture
- 256+MB RAM
- Two SDHC slots like the N800
- An alt key (just replace one of the shift keys)
- Video out (maybe microDVI?)
- 2 left/right d-pads and/or low profile analog sticks (would be great for gaming!)
- FM radio
- Bluetooth PAN/DUN

...all in the same form factor with same battery life. Well I can dream.. :rolleyes:
