would be easy/inexpensive, and in my view the most important, enables WiMax for all tablets. (sarcasm: no-it's not a phone! )

You mean like a competitor for the Cradepoint Personal Hotspot (hopefully that, instead of their non-battery product (CTR I think?))?

I'd like to see it, I really would. I'd especially like to see it if they had a version for GSM carriers (GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSPA), a version for CDMA carriers (1x, EVDOr0, EVDOr1), and a WiMAX version. But I really doubt that's what Nokia is doing.
