Ok guys, here's the latest scoop I got from CES 2008. From talking with some Internet Tablet Product Managers at the Nokia booth, there seems to be some clear indication that a WiMAX Internet Tablet is coming soon. How soon? How about the second quarter of this year? It will be using Sprint's WiMAX, now called XOHM WiMAX as announced at CES 2008. Here are some text from the XOHM - Nokia partner page:In collaboration with Xohm, Nokia is developing WiMAX-enabled devices that will offer users on-the-go broadband access to the information and services important to them.Note however that XOHM WiMAX is currently running only at Chicago, Baltimore, and Washington DC but its launch to major US cities will soon follow. There is still no info about the device itself. The specs and how it looks are still very much confidential. As for CES 2008, A last minute trip made me catch the last day of the event. I have posted pics of the Nokia booth over at the gallery.
