Sprint announced yesterday that they will be rolling out their 4G WiMax service in the fall with the help of several mobile partners to help localize the features. By means of a function called “geobrowsing” WiMax will be able to tune into local news, restaurants, weather and more.

With WiMax, users will be able to access local information on their laptops or mobile devices. And Sprint announced yesterday that the initial cities to get the service are Baltimore, Chicago and Washington D.C. all before the year’s end.

As a part of the XOHM 4G system, the GPS will constantly feed information about the user’s whereabouts to applications. This was made possible by means of a partnership between Sprint and uLocate. Pricing has not yet been announced, but many different plans will be available.
