Sprint will not support Google’s Nexus One strategy with subsidized pricing and a contract, leaving T-Mobile as the device’s exclusive U.S. carrier. pOriginally posted at a href=”http://news.cnet.com/8301-30684_3-20004614-265.html” class=”origPostedBlog”Relevant Results/a/p
PCWorld’s David Wang has been documenting weeks of work to port the full Google Android operating system to the Apple iPhone 3G.
In light of Verizon’s recent decision (or was that Google’s decision?) to say goodnight to the Nexus One in favor of the Droid Incredible, we thought it might be wise to reach out to Sprint and get a comment on its own version — the EVO 4G is just around the corner, of course, and it’s lying in wait to cast a long, long shadow over any other Android device in Sprint’s lineup. Sure enough, the carrier says that it’s now taking a pass on Google’s first “superphone,” seeing how the EVO 4G is basically better in every respect: WiMAX support, larger screen, better camera, and so on. Of course, this might peeve a few folks who’d prefer stock Android over HTC’s Sense UI — if for no other reason than the fact that Sense-powered devices tend to have wildly longer firmware upgrade lag times than stock ones do — but otherwise, the move seems to be a perfectly logical one. Oh, and as for that EVO? No update on a launch window, but Sprint says that it’s still targeting Summer, thank goodness.

Ever see a windmill spinning at night? Probably not, since it’s usually quite dark, but if you ever do, you could be looking at wasted energy. Utility companies often won’t purchase evening wind power because the low demand is easily met by idling traditional facilities. Mitsubishi and the Tokyo Institute of Technology are devising a means to take that otherwise unwanted wind power and shove it straight into your electric car’s battery, detecting which vehicles are plugged into the grid and ducting that juice straight to ’em so that they’re bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in the morning. Don’t have an EV yet? That’s okay — this tech is at least a few years off, too.
