Best Buy now lists two different Nexus S units on its website. The "old version" is made for T-Mobile 3G network whereas the new one, also known as Nexus S 4G, sings along Sprint WiMAX and CDMA network. The latter is not readily available, but that does not or should not stop you from reserving your unit today by pre-ordering. In the process, you will be paying $200 upfront, while at the same time committing on a two-year agreement. If that sounds like a deal to you, hop over to this page at Best Buy website and take it from there.

As you know, the Nexus S 4G is the first Android 2.3 Gingerbread-powered smartphone, rocking a 4-inch WVGA Super AMOLED touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera, 3G/4G and Wi-Fi connectivity, 16GB of built-in storage, Bluetooth, GPS and other sensors.

As successful a company as Intel is, they are hungry for growth, and right now that means mobile. The chip firm may have made laptops mainstream a decade prior, but its Google and Apple who are creating the software and hardware that are ending up in millions of people pockets. Intel problem is that they are tied to their x86 architecture, whereas everything thats classified as a "mobile device" these days has a processor thats either designed by ARM or compatible with the ARM instruction set. Back in the summer of 2010 Intel announced that they would acquire Infineon wireless unit in order to help them get into the cellular connectivity business. Up until that point they only offered WiFi and WiMAX solutions, and we all know how well the industry has adopted WiMAX. With Infineon they could realistically tell their customers, and I am not talking consumers, but instead the guys who build laptops/tablets/smartphones, that they can provide an application processor, graphics processor, and all the 2G, 3G, and 4G connectivity they need.

This week Intel has announced that they have purchased Egyptian firm SySDSoft, specifically for their LTE expertise, and that they are going to employ about 100 of their engineers to get cracking on making Intel a competitive player in the wireless space. Now all Intel has to do is come out with a platform that has competitive performance and power consumption compared to the likes of Qualcomm Snapdragon. After that its going to take a major announcement from either Microsoft, Google, or Apple, to say that they are going to transition to this new platform. Then, and only then, can you really say that Intel has succeeded in making a name for themselves in the product categories that will define a new era of mobile computing.
