Leaked Sprint memo reveals upcoming Direct Connect Now app for Android (Engadget Mobile)

It’s been nearly a year since The Now Network ditched iDEN and unveiled its
CDMA push-to-talk menu, the latter of which could see a major boost in the

ruggedized hardware. The memo also reveals the application is set to “launch
in 2012,” with the Samsung Transformer Ultra 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…
