__aajbyc7391 writes: Sprint will offer a Mobile WiMAX-enabled version of Nokia's N800 Internet Tablet to North American customers next year, LinuxDevices reports. The new device will support Sprint's grand scheme of making WiMAX-based 4G wireless services available to over 100 million people during 2008. Sprint says Intel, Motorola, and Samsung are working on Mobile WiMAX chipsets, while LG, Samsung, Nokia, ZTE, and ZyXEL are developing consumer devices that will be usable on its new 4G network. According to Dr. Ari Jaaksi, Nokia's director of open source, WiMAX could change the cellular landscape, depending on how it's priced. First deployments will be in Chicago, Baltimore, and Washington DC, followed by 16 other metropolitan areas in the U.S.
