News, info, reviews, and opinions on WiMAX, LTE, Clearwire, XOHM, and Sprint 4G

On the heels of the news that Intel was developing very affordable laptops that will offer integrated WiMAX capabilities, Toshiba has revealed that they too have WiMAX-ready laptops on the horizon. Unlike Intel's computers, which will be available only in India to start, Toshiba is planning to have these ready for sale in the USA as soon as September, when Sprint is planning to launch the Xohm network. The laptops will run on Intel's quad-core processors, which will provide the processing power necessary to take full advantage of WiMAX's speeds.

Sales for WiMAX-enabled computers will probably be slow for quite some time as Sprint and other providers slowly roll out their WiMAX networks in more locals, but I'd look at it as a great option if you're upgrading computers and also interested in getting on board with WiMAX as soon as it's available.
