Sprint CEO Hesse says Android now ready for Prime-Time and his company
When the Android OS was first released, Sprint CEO Dan Hesse felt that it wasn't ready to power devices in the Sprint line-up. Hesse told a industry conference in Pasadena, sponsored by Fortune, "The reviews say now it's ready for prime time. It wasn't when it first came out." The difference might be the recent upgrade to build 1.5. The star of television ads when he is not running the pin-dropping carrier, Hesse went on to say that Sprint will offer at least one Android based device this year.

Moving on to the Palm Pre, Hesse said that the only thing holding back sales of the smartphone is supply of the handset. With earnings due out soon, talk about the Pre had to be kept to a minimal , but according to the CEO there have been shortages of the phone. Also, talk that the Pre is being returned in droves is incorrect according to Hesse, "There's things all over people are speculating," Hesse said. "Most of the speculation I read is wrong." According to Sprint's Chief Executive, it might take 3 or 4 months to determine if the Pre is a big hit.
