Asustek drops WiMAX from Eee PC 901
Asustek planned to integrate WiMAX technology into its next generation Eee laptops, recently it has decided to make WiMAX available only as an option to contract customers. Asustek believes the WiMAX market will not reach maturity in 2008, and has therefore decided to push WiMAX only in its 14.1- to 15.4-inch laptops, mainly in the US market.
Asustek will keep to its original plans to launch WiMAX-based VX2, U6 and V1 laptops before the end of this year, however, the cancellation of the WiMAX Eee laptop is likely to impact the company’s original goal of having WiMAX featured in 15% of notebook shipments in 2008.
