The big boys all got together and decided to play nice! And that means WiMax is headed stateside! Whoohoo! So apparently Sprint's broadband enterprise is merging with Clearwire. Intel, Time-Warner, Google, and Comcast will also be partners in the deal. Lovely stuff I say! Lovely!

Not sure if this is even news, but it looks like WiMax enabled devices shipping out of Taiwan are quite limited at the moment. According to DigiTimes "Monthly shipments of WiMAX devices from Taiwan makers currently range from only several thousand to tens of thousands of units, which are mostly shipped to telecom operators for regional testing rather than for commercial installation." BUT manufacturers like Foxconn (who could possibly manufacture the Elektrobit MIMD MID) and USI are said to be focussing on wireless modules for notebooks (LET'S HOPE MIDs TOO!) and should be pumping out the WiMax/WiFi modules soon. Could this news be a sign that we aren't going to see many WiMax enabled MIDs in the near future? This isn't to say WiMax devices aren't being produced in other countries (like China) at the moment-- but still. Will we see WiMax enabled MIDs this summer?
