Just to add to what aki has mentioned. Lenovo already have the Intel chipsets on their thinkpad edge 13. The laptop has been available since Feb at about 600 dollars. Clearwire and Sprint have already made them available in the US ----- Reply message ----- From: "aki" <aki275@googlemail.com> Date: Sat, Jul 17, 2010 9:39 AM Subject: [Skunkworks] New Intel iCore Chip laptops and netbooks have embedded 4G WIMAX Internet.

Hey Alvin, the embedded technology is about 2 months old, these units below will not carry them.

@Aki - which technology is this? Please explain. I am quite behind on these ones. Imagine I just heard about DDR3 two months ago:-)

Hey @Wash, Just as wifi a/b/g/n has become common place on Laptops/netbooks, Intel is now embedding 4g/Wimax radio modules on newer machines with Intel Core i5/i7 and Atom. The 4G/Wimax is based on the Intel Chipset and Radio technology. Since many telcos are yet to go 4G/Wimax or are in planning stages, the new development from Intel becomes a grand chance for them to deploy Intel Chipset based 4g/Wimax which will allow off the shelf technology convergence with telco/ISP core networks. This is true convergence between off the shelf computers and true broadband internet access. To the end user, they will see the 4g/Wimax stations as if they are wireless hotspots. The other advantage of using the Intel 4G/Wimax technology is that globally the 4G/Wimax sector is growing and thus using the same technology platform would mean end users travelling in such countries could connect seamlessly to such networks without the need for any aditional hardware purchases and could also have global internet roaming subscriptions.
