Along the line of thought of a separate broadband device... ... The other giant involved in WiMAX is Nokia, pointing to an increasingly strong partnership between Intel and the Finnish handset giant, which could rival Wintel in its impact on the technology market. Nokia has many choices of its own to make – which long distance technologies to support, given the problems besetting 3G, but the hostility of its carrier partners to backing WiMAX as an alternative; how best to carve out a position in the enterprise market to ensure that its Symbian-based smartphones become the corporate mobile platform of choice; among others. Intel aims to be neutral in such decisions, providing core chips for any approach to mobile computing and allying with the strongest partners in each sector. It will have Centrino and a future WiMAX chipset for its existing PC partners; and the XScale architecture for its new cellphone friends, a product that it hopes to push into the front ranks by offering the handset makers the carrots of the personal data server and the mobile WiMAX device. This is a roadmap currently unmatched by the established cellphone processor giants, notably Motorola, whose own personal data server concept is less ambitious and which has so far been uninvolved in WiMAX (as has Microsoft). Intel is working hard to get an influential position in the smartphone market, which has a natural wariness of Microsoft and an affinity with Java and Symbian. The recent news that Intel is working with operator MMO2 to integrate their smartphone development communities – Intel’s PCA Developer Network and MMO2’s SourceO2 program – shows the chipmaker changing the rules to achieve new prominence for XScale. Like its main rivals in this space, TI and Motorola, it has traditionally delivered silicon to the handset makers and then had not further input to the process. But with MMO2, Intel will collaborate to fine tune XScale-based handsets such as the XDA, adding new layers of software to ensure optimal performance of key applications and services on the device. The partners will identify applications that have strong revenue potential, optimize them and market them through O2’s Revolution program. ... Message 18972996 Regards, Rob

I fear your enthusiasm for the 4G future ignores the observation that most people just don't want to learn to operate or finance a device large enough to need your 4G. But, even my grandmother is an expert at voice with or without the <font color=Green>send</font> key. theregister.co.uk Your claim that we enjoy "hotspots" as contextual is ludicrous based on the poor financial condition and utilization of hotspots outside of business campuses already constructed. But, thanks for playing.
