Good scores deals with Sprint, Microsoft | CNET News.com: “In the most significant of several announcements, Good said it will now work with directly with telecommunications provider Sprint. Good’s services were previously available to Sprint business customers only through third-party suppliers.
Devices now available through Sprint for use with the Good service include its Sprint PCS Smart Device Treo 650, made by PalmOne, and the Sprint PCS Smart Device PPC 6600/6601, made by Audiovox.
A $1,500 starter package includes one year of support from Good, which can also be broken down into smaller plans. The Sprint partnership means Good now has contracts with the five major carriers in the United States. The deal is similar to one that Good unveiled back in May with Cingular Wireless, a joint venture between SBC Communications and BellSouth.”

Commentary 4Mobility: “Over the past few years, the wireless industry and those close to it have been talking a lot about location-based services. LBS has been coming Real Soon Now (RSN) for a fairly long time, but recent announcements indicate that we will see some real LBS applications and services this year.
Yes, Nextel, Sprint and others have been offering LBS for corporate accounts but not for general public use. This is about to change.”
