Sprint announced today that it's working with Google to develop a new mobile portal for its WiMax customers, offering what the company describes as "a new form of interactive communications, high speed Internet browsing, local and location-centric services, and multimedia services including music, video, TV and on-demand products."

This, of course, follows Sprint's recent announcement that it's working with Clearwire on its wimax network build-out.

"This collaboration brings what will be the best mobile Internet network together with the leading Internet search company," says Sprint's Barry West. "It allows us to capitalize on the powerful mobility and Internet trends, and create wireless services and applications that take advantage of each company's history of product development innovation."

In addition to phones and laptops, the companies say the service will eventually "be available in vehicles for navigation information, news and entertainment."
