Personally I don't use Sprint...but I think Google needs to stop.

Seems they want to invest the money in something which bubble will not burst so easily as being judged on merely being able to index other people's intellectual property and mixing it with some advertisement.

Nah, they already have several in the Android program. Unless they want one for themselves...to eventually muscle out the others...hmm...Cellphones are one of the only ways many people around the world access the internet, especially in other countries where getting a computer is more difficult, many kids get introduced to the internet via a cellphone, so Google might see that as an untapped resource.

Great, just what we need. I mean I understand they have more money than God, but I dont want to be stuck in my current 2 year contract on a [beta] network.
