LG seems intent on exploiting the advantages of WiMAX. With the launch of the new WiMAX KC1 PDA cell phone, LG has emerged as one of the first few companies to come out with full WiMAX support on a cell phone. The KC1 was unveiled at the ITU 2006.

Equipped with a largish 2.8" TFT LCD capable of QVGA resolution, there's 64MB RAM on the KC1, with expansion support via a microSD memory card slot. Bluetooth is present as well, along with a 2 megapixel camera.

The KC1 runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 and, not surprisingly, emulates the design standards set by the KG99 Chocolate Phone. While a release date hasn't been announced, one can only hope there are enough WiMAX hotspots to experience the KC1.
