Yesterday, Motorola announced the world’s first WiMAX USB adapter, USBw 100. Coming in size as a regular 3G USB modem, the device will be available in three versions, each operating at a different frequency (2.3GHz, 2.5GHz and 3.5 GHz) that is used on WiMAX networks around the world.
Apparently, the device will work on virtually all laptops produced withing the last five years, though we’re not sure about the Linux support at this stage. Hopefully that will also be fixed in the coming months.
And that’s about all we know at this stage. Plus there’s a release date, which is slated for the fourth quarter of the year. Pricing is unknown, but I’ve no doubts carriers will subsidize the USBw 100 to get users to sign-up contracts…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
