The folks over at Android and Me have posted up an interesting rumor today – according to their source, Motorola’s laptop/smartphone hybrid, the Atrix; and their Honeycomb (Android 3.0) tablet, the Xoom; will be headed to Sprint’s network and they will be announced next month. The Android devices are also said to support Sprint’s 4G WiMAX network. The Xoom tablet might have a name change as well due to a recent trademark lawsuit concerning its name. While we’ve heard that Sprint is stepping up their game this year, especially in the 4G arena but as usual with all rumors – take them with a grain of salt. Are you excited at the thought of these 2 devices arriving on Sprint?
