I hope this doesn't happen. Google has benefitted from staying OUT of hardware. If they bought Sprint/Nextel, I think it will be at the detriment to Android. Otherwise, it would seem like ONE carrier pushing their platform to the others. And, do you think AT&T or Sprint/Nextel would consider adopting VCAST? I don't. And that's the same reason AT&T and Verizon will be reluctant to adopt Android if Google owns Sprint/Nextel - it seems more like succumbing to a competitor than joining an Open Alliance.

Google needs to stay out of the hardware and continue focusing on what they do best. Android has revolutionary type potential... but seriously... don't blow it by splurging on Sprint.
