I was in a completely non-770 mode, reading through the day's incoming industry junk mail on my office PC, when BAM!!, what do I read?

Nokia has made a commitment to "develop and market WiMAX-enabled mobile devices in significant volumes, including multimedia computers and Internet tablets."

sweet...

Possibly with open APIs and a Google portal of some sort according to the link. I am really looking forward to the next tablet with WiMax. But "mobile internet device" is an Intel developer's buzzword so there may be significant competition by the time this happens...

Ari Jaaksi has already said WiMax was on the roadmap, so why is this news?

There are new details. And for those in the US, the WiMax IT is heavily dependent on the Sprint/Clearwire network rollout. btw, Ari is great, but he has ittle input into Nokia's WiMax strategy and is TOLD if and when the WiMax version of tablet will go.

Based upon past experience working with Sprint in the WAN arena, Sprint = Epic Phail.
I mean, c'mon, the US hasn't even gotten up to speed with HSDPA like Europe/Asia has, with only one carrier (AT&T) having it right now in "selected" markets (read: about 17 cities/metros with populations of 1 million or more).
Then you have Qualcomm pulling stupid stunts [url=http://thejournal.com/articles/20419]like this[/i] instead of really pushing for true GSM 3G or WiMax across the board with all carriers.
I would expect WiMax to be more heavily rolled out in Europe and Asia before it even comes close to being real-world usable in the US.
I lived overseas for more than 13 years and even when staring at a herd of camels on the border of Iraq and Kuwait I had full 3g HSDPA access!
Then I come home to a wirelessly-crippled country. Ugh.

The FCC has been screwing the US for years... all to ensure that the status quo maintains its inertia...

The current modus operandi for US carriers.
