The world’s leading cell phone manufacturer, Nokia, is planning to add WiMAX connectivity to its N-series Internet Tablet next year, allowing users to surf the web and make Skype calls without being in a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Nokia’s current Internet Tablet, the N800, comes with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and although it does not support cellular technology, it can connect to cellular networks via a data-enabled mobile phone. The N800′s Linux operating system and 800 x 488 pixel widescreen display make it a popular option for those seeking to surf the internet on the go.

The next Internet Tablet will come equipped with Intel’s Broad Peak WiMAX chipset, the same technology that will be used in forthcoming Centrino laptops from Acer, Lenovo, Toshiba, and other manufacturers. It will be compatible with Sprint Nextel’s much-anticipated Mobile WiMAX network.
