Skype's owned by eBay now so forget that happening.
However, Clearwire looks promising...
But their current U.S. coverage map is disappointing. And with US $1 billion in loan debt that's a huge amount for a potential buyer to soak up for currently-limited coverage, even in major US markets.
However, Clearwire looks promising...
Clearwire, founded in October 2003 by Craig O. McCaw, is a provider of reliable, wireless high-speed Internet service. Headquartered in Kirkland, Wash., the company launched its first market in August 2004 and now offers service in 40 U.S. markets, covering approximately 10 million people in more than 420 municipalities in Alaska, California, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin in the United States, as well as over 1 million people in Ireland and Belgium.

I am quite curious how large a WIMAX-enabled N800 would be given the current modem sizes (e.g. the ones offered by Bell, Rogers, Clearwire). Even the new WIMAX PC card that Clearwire got FCC approval for is quite bulky.

I doubt you'll see a noticeable increase in size, if any at all.

I hope it has a larger capacity battery... one we can then buy for our non-WiMax N800s!

Nokia and Intel have formally agreed to use Intel chips in WiMax version tablet. Good news that they are cooperating. I wonder if there are restrictions on the release date of the WiMax version tablet because of this since Intel is carefully controlling the launch of the laptop chipsets using the WiMax chip.

My crystal ball just told me that Nokia will buy Clearwire and Skype (and revise accordingly). Nokia will then leverage Sprint's Wimax network by selling phones to Verizon. As such, Sprint realizes it's better off developing Wimax with Nokia in relation to their suite of tablets (N900, N1000, N2000). But just will the new N2000 do...?
