It's exciting that Sprint's 4G network will be able to support services like video chat and YouTube on the upcoming HTC EVO phone, but it's a bummer that a $10 "premium data" fee will apply for these bandwidth-intensive applications.

If you're not a fan of Flash, you definitely don't want to check out Sprint's new Plug Into Now dashboard. If you dare to click through, you'll be treated with sensory overload, internet style.

If despite your best intentions to stay on the couch and catch all the ...

For those of you who don't regularly keep tabs on your Software Update notifications, Apple released its WWAN support update 1.0 via software update, offering improved wireless broadband support for AT&T/Cingular, Sprint, and Verizon networks.

The divide between online radio and terrestrial radio just got a tiny bit smaller. Web broadcaster Pandora has announced Pandora on the Go, a mobile client that works with a handful of Sprint cellphones. While it's not exactly a $10 portable radio, you've probably got your cellphone in your pocket most of the time when you go out anyway. Go for a walk, and listen to Pandora on your Bluetooth ...

There's no trick to it, it's just a simple program. Pod 2 Mobile is in beta with their service: stream podcasts to your SprintPCS phone.
