We here in the US have fallen so far behind the rest of the world in ground-breaking technology (cough! Large Hadron Collider, stem cells, cloning cough!) that even Russia is kicking our butts. Evidence? Here’s a nifty video from our Siberian rivals friends.
What you saw there was the video of HTCs MAX 4G, a smartphone capable of download speeds up to 10Mps on Russia’s Yota Mobile WiMAX network. “The MAX 4G will support the Yota Video network and the device is capable of displaying up to nine TV channels simultaneously.” On top of the usual bells and whistles (bluetooth, WiFi, GPS), it also sports a five-megapixel camera and even an FM radio.
So when can you expect to see it?
