Intel: WiMAX cards by the end of this year
 

WiMAX (whose name means "endlessly delayed" in ancient Greek) has been a long time coming. Intel was hoping to have a working chipset rolled out in 2005, but like everything else associated with the technology, the move was delayed—for two years. The company must be particularly pleased, then, to announce that WiMAX cards for laptops will actually be available ahead of schedule, most likely by the end of this year.
