Android OS from Google is getting more attention from the developer,manufacture and carrier company in this 2009. It think because open source stuff become popular among developer community which we can see on Linux, Mozilla Firefox, WordPress, Joomla etc.

Recently WiMAXian featured ITRI’s Android-based WiMAX -enabled PID and presumably Android-based CDMA/WiMAX Smartphone for Sprint 4G that may arrive in 2010.

CLEAR apparently pay attention in this trends therefore CLEAR Developer released Android WiMAX Framework Ver 1.0 which aims to provide network connectivity through WiMAX technology on Android OS.

The network connectivity on Android Phone is currently limited to 3G and Wi-Fi. Android WiMAX Framework will provide the functionality to connect to WiMAX networks on Android OS. It will also provide a set of APIs to enable developers to create applications based on WiMAX technology.

No wonder why CLEAR developed Android WiMAX Framework because Sprint 4G is prepping  dual-mode CDMA/WiMAX smartphone based on Android OS.

Actually Sprint 4G operate somewhat separately from the main Sprint brand, being sold as an MVNO on Clearwire’s CLEAR WiMAX network. Sprint owns a 51% interest in that network. Subscribers to the Sprint 4G MVNO will get a dual-mode CDMA/WiMAX Sprint 3G/4G U300 or the upcoming Sprint 3G/4G U301.

Apparently CLEAR ( and Sprint 4G ) expect more Android-based WiMAX devices in the near future by inviting developer in California’s Silicon Valey to join CLEAR 4G WiMAX Innovation Network.

You can download CLEAR Android WiMAX Network ver 1.0,in case you want to make Android version for your WiMAX connection manager at your own risk of course !
