Sprint has been hard at work showing off its Now Network all over the place, TV commercials on NBC and ABC are some of the latest. But these latest spots interweave the Palm Pre more deeply into the story line of two prime-time dramas. You can watch one of those spots at the end of this post.

The first is a “mini-mystery” called “Another Desperate Housewife,” an extra from ABC’s “Desperate Housewives” suspects her husband is cheating after checking his Pre. Than a voice-over refers to Sprint’s wireless data network, by saying; “This is suspicion, on The Now Network.” This “mini-mystery” will have an eight-week run, and more dramatic twists and turns will be revealed.

The second spot from Sprint has a “Heroes” series of dramatized ads on NBC that follows new character Lydia, who leaves and works in a carnival full of people. Lydia is able to identify faces in the shape-shifting tattoos on her body. She uses the Palm Pre to find her daughter, who also has a heroic power.
