The laptops, ultra-mobile PCs, mobile internet devices and cell phones doesn’t seem to be satisfactory when world renowned companies, like Intel, are at the verge of introducing things like DDR3 memory, Blu-ray and HD-DVD playback, an integrated Wi-Fi/WiMax module in their future project.

In simple words it’s something like having Internet, e-mail, music downloads, live video conferencing, mobile TV, online multimedia anywhere in your pocket or bag.

Although Intel had been trying for to deliver a prototype for a long time, but now new 45-nm technology has further increased the chances of their Montevina, company’s next-generation Centrino mobile platform to grow with something like world standard that covers both fixed and mobile deployment.

In brief, wireless broadband experiences on your mobile to stream down the data anytime, anywhere with lightning speed.

If we go through the catalog of present high-end devices such as Black-Barry, which has GPS software (TeleNavthe) could devoid new WiMax from getting a warm welcome.

However, Intel has teamed up with companies like Clearwire, Sprint Nextel, which has already committed for $5 billion WiMax build-out by 2010.

There may be some doubts about the success of WiMax as it will not enjoy the privilege of being first, but Intel CEO Paul Otellini is all set to finish what he said at this week’s Intel Developer Forum,

150 million [people] will be covered [by WiMax] in 2008, 750 million in 2010 and 1.3 billion in 2012
