Palm Pre and Sprint’s 4G WiMAX network

Wednesday, April 8, 2009


With the way that Sprint are promoting their 4G WiMAX network and also the Palm Pre in new advertisements, it would be wishful thinking that the new Pre phone would include 4G for a much faster experience.
Will the Palm (NASDAQ:PALM) Pre include a version with 4G at release? Well that is very unlikely and there is more chance of seeing that in Palm Pre 2.0., although we may see some kind of limited support (just rumor).
We have to keep in mind that Sprints 4G technology used in wireless Internet cards is great (see the TV advertisements), but cell phones would be better. Would you like a Palm Pre with 4G?
If the Palm Pre becomes as popular as Palm and Sprint hope then this can bring in more money for WiMAX expansion. This may be needed thanks to Sprint being the only one using WiMAX at the moment, with many others using LTE.
Competing 4G standards is one of the main problems for the consumer, this will have to sort itself out in the coming years for the public to fully appreciate 4G.
