Acer Launches First 4G WiMax Notebooks

Acer announced two WiMax-enabled notebooks today that will be sold to customers in Baltimore, home of the first U.S. WiMax network. XOMH is rolling out the next-generation wireless broadband network, which promises downlink speeds of 2-4 Mbps and uplink rates of 1-2 Mbps.
