Carrier billing for apps on its way, says Sprint

We’ve been discussing this over at PhoneDog for some time (though context eludes me and I can’t find a link outside of a post’s comment thread), and Sprint is working on making it a reality. Eventually, customers will be able to purchase an app and have the charge turn up on their phone bill, though we don’t have a date yet. It’s not just for Sprint’s Android customers, either. WinMo, Palm, and BlackBerry users will have the same option. Sprint is also aiming at a one week application process for programs headed to their new app store for non-Android devices.

Man, I thought it was too easy to buy apps with my Google Checkout account, a saved CC#, and a couple of taps. Imagine the comfort that comes from knowing the purchases won’t come back to haunt you until you’re monthly bill arrives in your inbox.

So is this basically saying that soon when you buy an app from the app store they'll be billed to your account?? If so that's kind of whack, lol.
