The way things are panning it out, I think a more apt comparison would be buying into DVD-HD 2 years ago, not Blu-Ray :-)

Sure, Sprint and Clearwire could reverse their fortunes, but by the time they do, where will LTE be? And, for a device makers standpoint, the conservative approach would be neither WiMAX nor LTE. It would be EVDO or HSPA.

A WiMAX version of the tablet would have made sense as Nokia's second WWAN tablet, not the first and primary one.
