I found this on an article about WiMAX:
"In a separate keynote yesterday, Sean Maloney, Intel Corp.'s chief sales and marketing officer, said Intel has developed a small module card called Echo Peak that offers both WiMax and Wi-Fi over the draft 802.11n specification, which will begin appearing in Nokia 800 series handhelds. And in another example of how WiMax will be widespread, he demonstrated integrated WiMax capability onstage inside a laptop, not using a PC card."
Wireless-N would certainly be a neat addition to further future-proof the device along with WiMAX. I do kind of wish they'd put an HSDPA modem in instead of WiMAX, but Nokia seems to hate the USA in regards to HSDPA. Although they do seem to be warming up recently...
Also, for those of you who aren't savvy with fiscal quarters, I checked on Wikipedia and 2Q is typically from Jan 1 - Mar 31. Does anyone know if Nokia operates on a different schedule?
(See corrected post below.)
Being released in such a close timeframe to the N810, it is pretty likely it will be the same hardware with the addition of WiMAX, right?
