Viliv S5 with WiMAX

Quick update as I get ready for my trip to Korea. After a lot of thinking, I am almost definitely getting myself a Viliv S5 as soon as I can lay my hands on a WiMAX version. I thought there already was one and asked Viliv sales for the model information and I received this:

Hi Vigneshwar,

We are grateful for your interest in viliv S5 Wimax version.viliv has a plan to introduce viliv with integrated Wimax function.At the Computex, Taiwan in June, 2009, Intel was showcasing our viliv S5 with Wimax (Intel’s Wimax module built in).Two cyber girls were up & downloading live video of the show floor through our S5 with Wimax.Please keep your eyes on our products introduction.

Again we thank you for your interest.

Looks like I'll have to wait a bit before I can get the S5. My mother will be inheriting the P1510, so until the S5 with WiMAX is launched, I'll be using a cheap netbook to supplement my PC while in Korea.
