Sprint plans to offer a home page on its WiMax devices that will serve as a gateway for consumers to access the Internet and a variety of multimedia services.
Under the deal, Google will provide the Web-search capabilities for that portal. Sprint also will integrate a suite of popular Google mobile applications, including Gmail email and Google Calendar.
Barry West, who heads up Sprint's WiMax unit, said it isn't clear whether Google's services will be offered on the WiMax products Clearwire brings to market. Clearwire declined to comment.
