could someone tell me from a tech point why LTE is better then wimax. Why is it that these companies are choosing LTE over wimax? I love sprint so whatever sprint uses is what I'll be using, but it would be nice to know what the actual difference is. I know that at first LTE will be slightly faster but when both get a rev. A they will both be at 100 mbps.
@rowehc As I understand it wimax is created by the same people who created wifi (it has a 802.xx standard as I posted above). LTE is created using traditional telecom equipment so its what they are more used to.
While its tablet world topping pixel density, Tegra 2 silicon, and fresh to death OS certainly sound awesome, we had to get our grubby mitts on one to see if it's as good as its spec sheet would have us believe.
