It's been nearly a year since The Now Network [ditched iDEN][3] and unveiled its [CDMA push-to-talk menu][4], the latter of which could see a major boost in the near future. A recently leaked doc would suggest Sprint's got a Direct Connect Now Android app in the works -- one that wouldn't have you rockin' some [ruggedized hardware][5]. The memo also reveals the application is set to "launch in 2012," with the [Samsung Transformer Ultra][6] being the first device to carry it. Naturally, the alleged PTT goodies will adjust to touchscreen handsets, bringing new controls alongside group calling and support for both Sprint and Nextel's Direct Connect services. Let's just hope Sprint doesn't bail on this like it did on [QChat...][7]
[Leaked Sprint memo reveals upcoming Direct Connect Now app for Android][2] originally appeared on [Engadget][8] on Tue, 20 Mar 2012 22:42:00 EDT. Please see our [terms for use of feeds][9].
