Fox News, amazing reporter that it is, has apparently fired all of their editors and proof readers. Well, at least for their technical reports.

Reporting on Google Latitude, an add-on to Google’s own Maps service, Fox forwarded an AP article on the mobile aspect of the new technology. Unfortunately, I doubt anyone will find the first mobile device they list supporting the software: T-1 Mobile phones running on Google’s Android software. Excuse me? It sounds like the Terminators made a cell phone and it could kill a small dog.

Granted, it’s not too hard to figure out what phone they were intending to reference, I own one, so I can’t come down too hard on the writer, but it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure out that there isn’t a cellular company called “T-1 Mobile” and there isn’t a phone called a “T-1″.

Sorry, Fox News, leave the technical reporting to TechCrunch, Gizmodo, et. al.; they actually hire people who know what the hell they’re talking about.
