...competitors with a time of 4:49.79, while Serdakowski’s time of 8.84 earned her the victory. While not finishing in first in any event, junior Stevie DeGroff earned five points for Harvard by placing second in the 200 meter dash and third in the 60-meter sprint. For the men, the only victories came in the jumping events, from seniors Samyr Laine and Travis Hughes. The former won the triple jump and placed second behind the latter in the long jump—together earning 15 of Harvard’s points on the day. Both teams...
...Sprint is pricey. The basic $15 Power Vision plan gives you very little, and though some channels can be purchased a la carte, you're still better off starting with the $20 Plus Pack, which has at its core ABC News Now and a wide array of programming from Fox Sports...
...Verizon Wireless launched V Cast a year ago with a $15 per month price tag. It hasn't raised the price, though it has increased the amount of content available. There may not be live programming, but there's constantly refreshed content from some big names that Sprint doesn't yet have. CBS and the whole Viacom stable - Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central, VH1 - as well as Nascar.com and Accuweather.com. Speaking of the weather, Verizon's local coverage is not very good: Although it has both Accuweather and the Weather Channel, between them the the two only cover 21 cities...
...Cast has better content organization. The channels are listed under four main topics, News, Entertainment, Sports and Weather. Sprint's Power Vision channels are sprawled across many categories, with lots of stuff buried in folders and subfolders. Each Sprint channel is assigned a number, like on TV, but there's no way to remember the numbers, nor is there a helpful channel guide on Sprint's website (hint, hint). I also like how the V Cast video playback is easy to pause and resume. Sprint's controls are non-existent...
...ruling in favor of Verizon's V Cast, but it beats Sprint only by a narrow margin, mostly because of its lower price. Download speeds and picture quality are the same for both, yet Sprint's streaming channels aim toward a future that Verizon seems to be ignoring. The truth is, for the first time in years, Sprint customers have reason to feel good about their carrier. That is, provided they live in a Power Vision service area, can get their hands on a phone like the Samsung a900, and are willing to pay the extra Power Vision fees...
