Sprint may have recently said publicly that Google's Android platform isn't quite ready yet, but that is not stopping the company from watching Android's development carefully. Sprint's vice president of products and devices, Kevin Packingham, recently said that, "We believe in the vision for Android, so we want to see it get bigger and get healthy. We can, when the timing's right, pull the trigger." Packingham also said that Sprint will work with chip vendors and device makers to bring an Android phone to market, and will have such a device ready within a year.
