Gizmdo has an article about the Samsung M800 cell phone with WiMAX.

We’ve discussed the Samsung M8000 before as the first phone poised to use the WiBro (Wireless Broadband) network. But to our delight, it looks like Samsung has brought the phone to CES and is actually demonstrating this futuristic service (that Korea will have by the first half of the year) to us here in the USA. WiBro is based on the mobile WiMAX technology (IEEE 802.16e TDD OFDMA standard), that will be able to deliver voice, data and video at speeds of up to 120 km per hour. The M8000 has a QWERTY keypad and Samsung is showing off WiBro services including broadcasting, home networking, video conferencing, video on demand, mobile navigations, and push-to-talk. Now, when exactly do we get it here? Huh??

Uhhhh, hows that again? Perhaps they meant to say something in terms of bps instead of kph, because I am guessing that the speed of transmission since this is radio is closer to the speed of light and completely meaningless.

NYC INSTANTSTREAM– Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg we have your solution! Streamphone Mobile Video Cell Phone in the streets and subways of New York City with out using cell phone minutes.

INSTANTSTREAM, Inc. (http://www.instantstream.com ) this week held a public demonstration in New York City of the new Streamphone 2.0, displaying live video call/conferencing from a moving vehicle (New York City Yellow Cab Taxi) with 12 video mobile conference participants.

Michael Daly (CEO of Instantstream, Inc.) said “Streamphone is here today, in use by corporations, individuals, and ready for corporate and Homeland Security use…the Streamphone service is seeking investors and partners as we develop and phase in to services over the next few months. Streamphone offers audio, video and multimedia services over the Verizon EVDO, T-Mobile Hotspots, Intel Wimax and Motorola Canopy networks. The Streamphone Service is compatible with any broadband, wireless high speed network and offers wireless pocket pc to pocket pc and desktop video calls”… “Today Streamphone was demonstrated on HP iPAQ 4705 T-Mobile Hotspots, Samsung i730 (Verizon EVDO), Samsung M800, and Dell X51v (Sprint Network)”…”Instantstream’s Streamphone service works over most networks for less than 2 cents per minute without using your cell phone minutes Streamphone is working today and Instantstream has client’s in the US, China, Africa, Korea and Europe. The early users of this next generation Streamphone video phone are US and foreign corporations”… “In the future we expected four user segments for Streamphone—residential/youth, small to medium enterprises, corporate, and emergency services works– and while the corporate segment is usually the drivers of new services there were signs that the consumers segments could be the major drivers of the mobile video market”.

Next week Instantstream plans to demonstrate (with city consent) in the New York City subways system, but Daly states “I hear it’s going to take about 10 years for that to happen”… “Our intent is to place a Streamphone Pocket pc in hands of every New York City Police Officer so to provide live mobile video surveillance and remote instant response to emergency events here in New York City and around the world”.

Daly said “Instantstream would provide a wide range of communication services from mobile video call services, live video content, conferencing meeting to security monitoring services”… “Our other partners and potential partners are already developing business models around the core technologies and the future look very bright”
