Is this going to be the Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD type-battle of the wireless industry?

Now to decide which is Blu-Ray and which is HD-DVD.

In this round, perhaps, but in the long run it will be LTE and the further evolution of GSM cell technology. Yes, the same GSM tech that 82% of global cell subscribers use.

Verizon (alltel) is on board for LTE, as well as the current GSM carriers of TMoblile and At&t, keeping Sprint on it's heels with an inferior cell technology that will leave it begging manufacturers to build exclusive devices when the incentive for them to do so won't be there.

There was no BluRay vs HD-DVD war. Microsoft's plan was always to go disc-less. I am one of the millions of people who downloads HD movies off XBox 360 instead of driving to the movie store.

This already happened to music and now it's happening to movies. Think about it, which do you prefer a DVD of your favorite band or their MP3s? ...Most people would rather have the MP3.

Who wants a disc? ...Old people? Maybe. PS3 fanboys? Yes. ...Everybody else? We'd rather simple download then snail-mail or drive to rent a movie.

"There was no BluRay vs HD-DVD war."

Uh, yes, there most certainly was, Brien. You must have been taking a nap during the whole thing, LOL.

But the details of all that aren't the point here. The point here is the battle between LTE and WiMAX.
