Integrated WiMAX not coming to the Eee PC anytime soon?

ASUS has been running around demoing Eee PCs with built-in WiMAX for a while now, but a new report in the always-salacious DigiTimes says that we won’t be able to get our hands on similarly-equipped units until after 2008 because the company feels the WiMAX market won’t reach “maturity.” Fair enough — and ASUS is still planning on shipping the wireless tech in its larger laptops — but something tells us that WiMAX isn’t going to mature if popular devices aren’t available with the tech built-in. Something about a chicken and an egg, you know?
