You know that WiMAX over in Baltimore? The one you have to buy an external device to connect to? Now there’s another option, two options actually. Acer has announced two laptops that can connect to the XOHM WiMAX in Baltimore.

The notebooks.com article seems to hint that they will only be available to those in Baltimore. Though since they are being sold on NewEgg and TigerDirect, it would make sense anyone could buy them. The WiMAX presumably would only be useful in the cities that have WiMAX, or at least those that have WiMAX from XOHM.

Sprint has finally opened its Xohm WiMAX network in the city of Baltimore. With this, as long as you have a WiMAX adapter and can pay the charge for the service, Internet is available anywhere within the city. For home service the WiMAX service costs $25 per month for six months, and $35 per month after that. Laptop access will cost $30 per month for the first six months, with no talk of price after that. If you’re just visiting the city, single day access will cost $10, which is a bit steep, but not bad compared to the price of Wi-Fi access in some airports.
