WiMAX is coming to Sprint network!!! This is great news since Samsung has already built PC cards, wifi cards, and PMPs for the WiMax and they are going to be rolling out new ones continually.
Last month, Samsung announced the introduction of several WiMAX-enabled devices. The Express Card ‘E100 PC Card’ and WiMAX embedded UMPC ‘Q1 Ultra Premium Mobile PC’ underscore Samsung’s position as the leading provider of end-to-end mobile WiMAX network systems. With the technology proven to be ready, the Samsung mobile WiMAX systems being deployed for Sprint in Baltimore and Washington D.C. support the commercial introduction of XOHM service anticipated to begin later this year.
Phew, I Can’t wait to get my hands on one of those WiMax embedded PMPs…

According to recent rumors, Apple’s iPhone, will offer a “premium” 3G service, supposedly a lot faster.
Will consumers jump on the bandwagon?
I’d say hell no as a previous users of AT&T’s “premium” service (when it was Cingular), the premium 3G service is still slower than Sprint’s CDMA network.
Heck, I did a lot of testing over at our dot com blog when 3G was out about a year ago.
What iPhone needs is WiMax, a proven technology that seems to take years to get in the hands of U.S. consumers including me.
iPhone + 3G Premium = Still really slow browsing, still really slow twitts, still really slow whatever.
What Apple should have done is partner with Sprint in the beginning and they would have a lot faster speeds by now and 5 to 10 times faster once Sprint rolls out their WiMax.
Clearwire + Sprint = bad
AT&T + Apple = bad
Sprint + Apple = good
Clearwire + AT&T = good (let the bad companies work together so we don’t have to face them…)
According to a discovery by Chronic Productions, published earlier this weekend, and relayed by MacRumors, Engadget Mobile, et al., prospective users of the next iteration of Apple’s most ambitious mobile device will be given the option to browse the Internet via 3G broadband or by way of the now-standard 2.5G/EDGE connection. All you’ll have to do is flip a software-based switch, similar to how iPhone users currently transfer between EDGE and Wi-Fi connectivity.
