Today's Story Highlights

Sprint Gives Android a Hero's Welcome
Android is finally getting a little more wardrobe variety. It's also
moving out into new U.S. carriers. Sprint is the latest wireless company
to jump in with the Android crowd; it'll start selling the HTC Hero this
October. The Hero looks to be a pretty capable handset. It's loaded with
Google apps, of course, plus a pretty big camera, a touchscreen, video
features, WiFi and expandable memory.

Journalist in Crisis Learns the Digital Ropes
The last time I saw Rebecca Aguilar in person, it was early October of
2007. We were both at the National Association of Hispanic Journalists'
Noche de Triunfos awards banquet in Washington, D.C. I was presenting an
award and she was receiving one -- NAHJ Broadcast Journalist of the Year
for her work at the Fox affiliate in Dallas, Texas. Two weeks later,
that same station suspended her.

Apple TV Has Nothing to Apologize For
In the on-again, off-again online chatter about the Apple TV, two things
are certain: First, it's treated like the bastard stepchild of Apple
hardware; and second, that doesn't make it a failure. A third thing is
much less certain: Whether the Apple TV is a placeholder for a real
Apple TV.

Fox Refreshes 'Fringe' Rerun With Twitter Gabfest
Summer reruns are ho-hum television, but Fox is trying out a possible
solution: Add Twitter. On the network's repeat broadcast of its
supernatural drama "Fringe" on Thursday night, tweets were added on-
screen to the show. The tweets ran throughout the show on the bottom
third of the screen. It's an obvious gimmick that leans on the hype
surrounding Twitter.

Sprint Joins March of the Androids With HTC Hero
Can a Hero fly to Sprint's rescue in the battle for smartphone
supremacy? If nothing else, Thursday's announcement that a second
carrier will soon offer a phone using the Android operating system could
be another blow for truth, justice and the American way of providing
more gadgets for tech-hungry consumers. Beginning Oct. 11, Sprint will
join T-Mobile as wireless providers offering Google Android OS phones.
