Apologies; didn't mean to get you in trouble; I'll gladly report to Nokia everything that I typed here in guestimation...

Product release schedules for mobile devices are interesting. For smartphones, its anywhere from 3-5 years (depending on testing a a few other variables), but for non-cellular handhelds, it can be a whole lot faster. If all the parts of the development and marketing machine are working together, 2 years from conception to market is not impossible. That being said, much of the IT's community focus has probably cut some of that development time. Therefore guesisng that if this were to come, it would be in IT-next, not necessarly ready for prime time for the wimax IT, but for the 5th gen one, releasing next year about this time (if tradition holds), this and a few other features could be here and very nice.
