Google VP To Deliver Sprint Keynote

Posted by: Christopher Meinck in Sprint, g2, android on Dec 9, 2008

Rich Miner, VP of mobile technology at Google, is scheduled to deliver the keynote at Sprint's mobile developer's conference on December 12th. This comes just weeks after Sprint CEO Dan Hesse was quoted as saying Android was "not yet good enough". Perhaps we'll find out on December 12th if things have changed. Anyone for a Sprint G2 running Android?

Hop-On Jumps On Sprint

Posted by: Christopher Meinck in Sprint, Hopon, android on Nov 4, 2008

Just last week, Sprint CEO was quoted as saying Android in it's current form is "not good enough to put the Sprint brand on". This started a firestorm on the tech blogs. Sprint contacted Everything gPhone to clarify Hesse's comments.

"As with any single comment from a speech, it’s important to understand the context. Rather than criticize Google, Sprint is a partner with Google (it’s the default search provider on Sprint phones) and we are a very strong supporter of the Android community as a charter member of the Open Handset Alliance. We are interested in developing an Android-based handset, but we would want to make sure it fully leverages all of the advances of Sprint’s current handsets and the data strength of our wireless network. We have a unique approach to making data use easy, intuitive and simply priced. I think what Dan meant is that, only when we are certain we have fully leveraged all the advantages of Android with the advantages we’re known for, that’s when we’d introduce our Android handset."

Android "not yet good enough" for Sprint

Posted by: Christopher Meinck in Sprint, android on Oct 26, 2008

Dan Hesse, CEO of Sprint, spoke to the National Press Club in Washington regarding Android. Hesse doesn't believe Android in it's current form is "not good enough to put the Sprint brand on". As a member of the OHA (Open Handset Alliance), Hesse did promise an Android-powered phone at some time in the future. This certainly isn't good news for those looking for a carrier outside of T-Mobile. In order to release an Android phone, you must be a member of the OHA and in the US that's limited to T-Mobile and Sprint.
