@Falkon Don't confuse wifi with wimax ! As for SE - better late then never They've missed the EDGE train and the wimax mobile standard has already been defined! (The first Laptop wimax pcmcia cards are on the way) I hope the royalties SE will have to pay to the 'founders' won't be too steep. Otherwise SE will only implement Wimax in a handfull of models
