Google and Sprint are working together by Ana Maria Ciobanu

Guess who's working together since today! No, not iPhone, not Microsoft, not Yahoo...It's Sprint and Google who announced they'll collaborate to create custom applications for Sprint's cellphone customers.Even though you can get Google's search engine through a standard wireless browser and Gmail Java on most cellphones, this is the first time Google will provide more applications to cell users.This deal will offer the chat application Google Talk and other services created on Sprint's WiMAX which offers fast wireless Internet connections.It seems cell networks are ready to open up their operations to Internet firms.Of course everything is about the money and since we don't have decent regulations we'll be the losers actually, even if we'll have Google on our cell phones.You pay for unlimited data on your cell plan but you can't quite use unlimited data.It seems we'll be able to use Skype but Sprint will charge Skype even though they're already charging you.Maybe I'm to PC-centric but I don't really see the use of all this trouble to equip our cell phones with Google. I need a screen big enough for Google search, Google video or chat. If I have a phone why should I chat on Google instead of using my phone's main purpose: calling people? If I have a laptop why should I pay a big sum for a cell plan?The iPhone is tenting though, because of it's wonderful screen. But if I have a small, slim cell phone I wouldn't want to use Google on it, even for free. Maybe that's just me and many people will find the utility or the trendy face in this new deal. Good luck!
