Even though I didn’t get to attend CES this year, the fine folks over at Engadget did, which means you get the news: WiMax is confirmed for Sprint this year, and its coming to the Eee PC. The general idea is that WiMax, a long range wireless technology which “kinda” bridges the gap between mobile wireless and home wireless, is being rolled out by Sprint in the US this year. ASUS, wanting badly to be on the leading edge of something cool, announced that they would be WiMax-enabling a lot of their gear, including the hot little Eee PC. They also took the opportunity to unveil a new WiMax-ready UMPC which features built-in GPS, TV tuner, and two cameras. Neato!
