Asus, together with Intel and Sprint, is hosting an event about WiMAX next monday.
From the site:
"Join ASUS, Intel and Sprint to learn about the state of WiMAX technology, preview next-generation mobile solutions (including the next generation EeePC)"
Intel will be releasing a new WiFi and WiMAX chipset codenamed "Echo Peak" during this year, in an effort to push WiMAX into the mainstream, and since the EeePC uses Intel components it is obvious that Asus will be using Intel parts to provide WiMAX support.
This will be a very important addition to UMPC devices like the Eee PC, increasing even further it's mobility compared to most laptops. "Echo peak" isn't supposed to be introduced as standard for the next Intel mobile platform, but as an option.
WiMAX typically provides speeds of 10Mbit in a 10Km range, allowing for better coverage than current 3G networks and is expected to replace them soon.
