Today Intel Corp. said it would add HSPA cellular connectivity to its Moorsetown chipsets, slated to hit mobile Internet devices in 2010. Coming from a firm that has spent billions pushing WiMAX , the news reads like an admission of doubt for the nascent 4G wireless broadband network build out by Sprint and Clearwire — but it’s really just a recognition that wireless broadband is so central to user experience that having multiple options makes sense. This is great news for all of us waiting for truly ubiquitous broadband, especially since Intel previously abandoned an idea to put some sort of 3G radios in its Centrino laptops back in 2007 , saying customers weren’t too hot on the technology.

Intel incluirá suporte a redes 3,5 G na plataforma de chips Moor
O Moorestown , próximo chip da Intel , incluirá suporte opcional para redes 3,5 G, anunciou a empresa nesta segunda-feira (20/10). O Moorestown chegará ao mercado em 2009 ou 2010 e será baseado no Lincroft, um sistema que inclui um processador Atom core, um hub controlador de memória e um chipset chamado Langwell. Desenvolvido para computadores pequenos e portáteis, os chamados MIDs (Mobile Internet Devices, ou equipamentos de internet móvel), o Moorestown oferecerá suporte opcional tanto para redes WiMax quanto para HSPA (High Speed Packet Access).

First WiMAX Notebooks from Lenovo, Others Launch
In Baltimore, the unveiling of Sprint's XOHM WiMAX network marks the end of what was a long and grueling process in getting Mobile WiMAX up and running. It also marks the beginning of a wireless technology that can potentially replace the expensive plans and miserable throughputs of 3G, otherwise known as EVDO and HSPA, in the United States. In terms of products, we've already reviewed the Samsung SWC-E100 ExpressCard and the Nokia 810 WiMAX Edition Internet tablet .
Ask Sean Maloney about Intel's biggest challenges and biggest opportunities for growth and he'll mention the same thing: WiMax, the company's chosen broadband technology. Maloney, an executive vice president of Intel and the chipmaker's chief sales and marketing officer, has seen waves of technology come and go since joining the company back in 1982. Recently, he got the additional responsibility of coordinating company strategy, which he said has "a good deal to do with the rapid pace of our global development." I had the chance to talk with him last week. Maloney initially touched on how the consumer notebook market is tracking the cell phone market.

Be still, our hearts! After watching the wireless HD / HDMI sector fumble along for years on end , a team of mega-corps have finally agreed to push their self-interests aside and collaborate on a standard. WHDI creator AMIMON has joined forces with Motorola, Samsung, Sony and Sharp in order to form "a special interest group to develop a comprehensive new industry standard for multi-room audio, video and control connectivity" utilizing the aforementioned Wireless Home Digital Interface technology. Reportedly, the group will have a standard completed before 2009 dawns, but we all know how easily these things can get pushed under the rug.

Me.dium Moves into Social Search as Yahoo Launches New Boss Plat
What do you do with piles of data about what web sites more than 2 million people are browsing and paying attention to? If you’re Me.dium, become a social search engine, with a little help from an ambitious new initiative from Yahoo called Search Boss (Build Your Own Search Engine). Tonight, the company is unveiling an alpha of Me.dium Social Search , which analyzes data gathered from the 2M or so people who have installed Me.dium’s Social Toolbar and offers it up as a search engine. So, search for “Barack Obama” for example and you’ll get results of web pages with a myriad of data about them, based on the actions of Me.dium users. That data includes: Thus, versus traditional search engines where the top results are fairly static (a search for Barack Obama on Google will likely return his official page and Wikipedia entry from now until eternity), the results in Me.dium Social Search are dynamic, moving up and down based on attention data from Me.dium users.
