(InfoWorld) - Nokia plans to add WiMax connectivity to its N-series Internet tablet next year, the company said Wednesday. WiMax is a wide-area networking technology that offers faster download speeds than 3G (third-generation) mobile networks and has a wider range than Wi-Fi. Adding WiMax support to the Internet tablets will allow users to surf the Web or make calls using Skype away from Wi-Fi hotspots. Nokia's current Internet tablet, the N800, has a wide screen display with a resolution of 800 pixels by 480 pixels. The device comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0. The N800 does include support for cellular networks, although Bluetooth can be used to connect with a cellular phone. Nokia's Internet tablets, which run a version of the Linux operating system, will use Intel's Broad Peak WiMax chip set, the same chip that will be used inside upcomingÂ Centrino laptops that support WiMax. Due during the second half of 2008, Centrino laptops with WiMax support will be available from Asustek Computer, Acer, Lenovo Group, Toshiba, and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., which sells laptops under the Panasonic brand. Nokia said Internet tablets with WiMax will be available in the U.S. and can be used with Sprint Nextel's WiMax network. Information on Nokia's plans to sell WiMax devices outside the U.S. was not immediately available. Â

(InfoWorld) - Laptops aren't the only computers slated to get support for WiMax next year. On Wednesday, Intel is expected to announce plans to add the wide-area networking technology and support for 3G mobile technology as options for ultramobile PCs running Windows or Linux. The company also plans to add WiMax as an option to its Centrino notebook package next year. The ultramobile PCs will be based on Intel's Menlow chip package, which includes the upcoming Silverthorne processor and single-chip Poulsbo chipset. Expected to be released in early 2008, the package is designed for ultramobile PCs running Windows or the Linux operating system. Anand Chandrasekher, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Ultra Mobility Group, is expected to announce that WiMax, 3G, and Wi-Fi will be available as options with Menlow for ultramobile PCs during a scheduled keynote speech at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. Chandrasekher is scheduled to be joined on stage during his speech by Mark Shuttleworth, the founder and CEO of Canonical, which distributes the Ubuntu version of Linux. Shuttleworth plans to use the opportunity to unveil an alpha version of Ubuntu designed for small, portable computers. If Intel's aim to popularize ultraportable PCs based on Linux takes off with end-users, this will have far-reaching implications by expanding the number of people that use Linux beyond technology enthusiasts to the mainstream, and treading into territory coveted by Microsoft.
