"re: $99 netbook...

I would love to see a WiMax version of this offer from someone..."

So would I. To me the issue with netbooks, is portability. Given all the miniaturization, they still only get about 2.5 hours on battery. This is not good, IMO. This is where Intel's solid state disks and Atom, whose success is a reflection of Intel's semi manufacturing ability, will be a big boost. These two products (SSD's and Atom) are the first tangible ones that benefit from portable wireless communication technologies like, WIMAX, LTE or anything else.

IMHO
