WiMax, we've been waiting!

I'm still semi-delirious from my trip to Baltimore for the WiMax launch this week. The buzz has been building around WiMax for years and on Wednesday, we finally got to see it in action as the citizens of the city of Baltimore became the first users!

If you've never heard of WiMax here's the run down: WiMax is the beginning of the 4g era of wireless (awesome!) With WiMax enable devices, whether powered by Intel Centrino 2 processors with embedded WiMax or an external device similar to a modem, you can download music, share photos direct to Internet or to a wireless printer, play video games and surf the web among other really exciting features anywhere the WiMax is in able; in this case, the entire city of Baltimore.

The event had multiple avenues to explore everything WiMax has to offer including water taxi rides and bus tours as well as Segway and Smart Cars streaming live video as they drove through the city. Here's a short video, it's a little bumpy from the bus ride but it's a great visual to show you how fast I was actually able to use the next will roaming the city! I also got some info on what WiMax users can expect from their new service.
