WOW! 2 More WiMax Handsets!!!

According to a recent article in EE Times At least two more WiMax handsets coming in 2010 there will be a few more handsets joining the WiMax fray, but in an age of iPad and iTouch, will any of them gain any traction?

The supposed play for these devices is video communications and streaming, which, to me, seems like a very tiny niche given that we need 4 radios to get the job done via WiMax vs only one very inexpensive radio to do the same thing (with much lower latency, by the way) via WiFi.

I guess there will ALWAYS be the guy that needs to show off his new toy, but are WiMax handsets the GlobalStar/Iridium handset for the 2010s?
