Default RIM Signs Deal With Intel To Use WiMAX

http://today.reuters.com/business/newsArticle.aspx?type=technology&storyID=nN22203191

"CNBC reported that Research in Motion had agreed to a deal to use battery-saving chip technology from Intel. In return, Research in Motion will support Intel's push to encourage WiMAX technology, a long-distance wireless communications technology."

WiMAX is a broadband wireless technology that will work over distances of 1.8-6 miles at speeds approaching 40Mbps. Getting this technology into Blackberries will be a huge shot in the arm to the new wireless technology.
