Motorola gets its chips out

Rating: Why? Max (data delivery)

Motorola brought something interesting to show and tell at WiMax World in Chicago.  The handset manufacturer whopped out a rather meaty WiMax chip - which it says will be in phones from next year.   This will give the user access to  any available WiMax data network, meaning bigger, faster, harder, more connectivity than their sweet little heads could ever imagine, especially as WiMax works over much larger distances than WiFi.  Interestingly Sprint Nextel is working on a WiMax network which should be available in 30 US metropolitan areas from next year.  Not long before someone invents a direct cranial interface to the Internet and the problem is solved, 24hr Pandora streaming directly in my head.
