Sprint Hints at Future UMPC Makers?

Rob reported about Sprint’s WiMax news with Nokia yesterday. Turns out Sprint might be spilling the beans on some potential Ultra-Mobile PCs from some new players in one of their press releases. Kevin Tofel of jkOnTheRun picked up this paragraph:

“PC manufacturers Acer, Asus, Lenovo, Panasonic and Toshiba have expressed intent to embed WiMAX into their next generation Intel Centrino-based laptops and ultra mobile PCs in 2008, so these devices can connect with the Xohm WiMAX network.”

Some interesting names on that list, but the phrasing leaves a lot to speculation. (The bold highlights are mine.)
