Clear has created an image filled with random electronics on its site that demonstrates the now legendary Apple Tablet mockup that surfaced during this year.
This development could signal support for Clear WiMax service in the tablet either via built-in modem or driver support for USB dongles, but the image has yet to be independently verified as correct.
Update: Fox News has confirmed that Apple will be holding an event on January 26th at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, which is currently used by Apple to debut new changes to the iPhone/iPod line and falls in line with Apple’s previous requests towards developers to modify applications for a device with a larger display.
This would be a good thing but does it necessarily mean it’ll be WiMax? If I’m wrong let of know but current MiFi and WiMax routers convert signals to WiFi
Clear is a WiMAX carrier. This isn’t related to MiFi or WiMAX routers at all. It appears Apple’s device would function similar to the Samsung Mondo, as a WiMAX-enabled MID.
That would give WiMax a huge boost if they start loading equipment with it, will they make a phone with it is the question
Considering Clear’s footprint… it’s highly unlikely. I suspect they will either offer some form of VoIP calling or (more likely) defer that market to Skype. With a much more powerful CPU, background applications are probably a sure thing, thus allowing that to happen wherever there is WiMAX or Wi-Fi.
A CDMA & WiMAX hybrid device on Sprint 4G is interesting, but not what Apple appears to be pursuing. It is more likely iPhone will head to LTE, in order to pursue a two-carrier strategy with AT&T and Verizon.
Interested to see everything iSlate has to offer. Your article was very enlightening.
I just got the word from a ATT rep. late lastnight. Get this! “AT&T WILL NOT BE THE CARRIER FOR APPLES NEW IPAD” I think a new player on the block like this company CLEAR with its new wimax network & its flat rate price makes for a tasty matchup with the big apple. Anyone wanta take that bet?
Interesting carry on this concern. I for one have seen many twists on this and can often spot the holes within the arguement however, on this occasion I belelive your writing is such that everybody should be in agreement with this. Thank you for sharing it with us.
is there any latest info regarding iSlate..because long time didn’t get any news about iSlate
