Boost Mobile is holding a press event tomorrow in New York City where the prepaid carrier should unveil, among other things, a new Android handset. Rumors had been gathering steam over the last few days that Boost will announce a no-contract Galaxy phone, dubbed the Prevail.
Engadget obtained a PDF document that outlines Boost Mobile's plans for the near future. Included in the file are the first preliminary details for the new smartphone.
Though an exact release date remains unknown, it appears that Boost will debut the Galaxy Prevail with a $179.99 sticker. Details for the handset include a 3.2-inch touch screen, a 2-megapixel camera, and support for microSD, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
Though the processor and memory haven't been disclosed, I can't imagine that the former will be dual-core stuff. Boost Mobile's target demographic, after all, isn't tech enthusiasts or early adopters.
On the surface, the Galaxy Prevail looks and sounds very much like the Samsung Gio announced earlier this year. Should the hardware prove to be the same, an 800MHz processor should be more than sufficient for an affordable Android handset.
The Galaxy Prevail would mark Boost Mobile's second Android handset after the Motorola i1. CNET will be in attendance at the New York event, where we hope to be able to fill in a few more blanks blanks for the phone.

‘Wireless’ humans could backbone new mobile networks

People could form the backbone of powerful new mobile internet networks by carrying wearable sensors. The sensors could create new ultra high bandwidth mobile internet infrastructures and reduce the density of mobile phone base stations.Engineers from Queen’s Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology are working on a new project based on the rapidly developing science of body-centric communications.Social benefits could include vast improvements in mobile gaming and remote healthcare, along with new precision monitoring of athletes and real-time tactical training in team sports, an institute release said.The researchers are investigating how small sensors carried by members of the public, in items such as next generation smartphones, could communicate with each other to create potentially vast body-to-body networks.The new sensors would interact to transmit data, providing ‘anytime, anywhere’ mobile network connectivity.Simon Cotton from the i
