Sprint is offering it's services all over the place. I came across
this article, also from Computer World a couple of weeks ago.
Quote:
According to an unnamed source cited in The Wall Street Journal, Sprint is talking to GPS device maker Garmin Ltd., camera maker Eastman Kodak Co. and storage device maker SanDisk Corp. about providing wireless Internet access to their products. Sprint did not respond to a request to confirm that information.
Its strategy of striking deals with other companies to connect their products via Sprint wireless networks was demonstrated with Amazon's Kindle, where Kindle users can download books wirelessly using Sprint's high-speed data network.
In another example, Sprint said today it is the wireless network provider for Ford vehicles equipped with in-dash PCs.
