Sprint's Android Updates Highlight Fragmentation

Sprint Nextel Corp.'s Android updates highlight fragmentation Sprint will push out Android 2.0 to the Hero and the Moment in the first half of next year By Nancy Gohring. Just as Verizon pushes out the first operating-system update to the Droid, Android version 2.0.1, Sprint says its Android phones will get the 2.0 version as late as June next year. If the update happens near the end of that period, it means the phones will get Android 2.0 about eight months after Verizon's Droid, the first phone to run the software. Verizon is currently pushing out the updated version 2.0.1 to Droid phones.
