Sprint’s Top BlackBerry Android Palm Pre Apps 2Day For Happy Successful New Year
Posted by iphandroid in Android Updates on 12 29th, 2009 | 2 Comments
Sprint in recent news release offered these suggestions for apps for a successful New Year for saving money, being healthy by eating right and working out, getting organized, being more environmentally friendly and learning something new. To save even more money, Sprint phones offer access to helpful applications:
- ShopSavvy, available through Android Market, lets HTC Hero™ with Google™ and Samsung Moment™ with Google™ users track shopping deals. With ShopSavvy the user simply points the camera at a barcode, follows the instructions and receives a comprehensive product and price list.
- ScanLife turns the user’s Sprint phone into a 2D barcode scanner. Scanning 2D barcodes that appear on print ads, packaging, movie posters and more automatically takes the user to a specific mobile website, product offer or mobile coupon on their phone. Newer phones with auto-focus cameras also scan regular UPC codes found on most packaging to find price comparisons. ScanLife is preloaded on select Sprint phones such as Samsung Reclaim, and Sprint plans to preload the application on all compatible phones launching in 2010.
- Dealert is a deal tracking application available on Palm Pre and Palm Pixi that allows users to track specific products across major online deal sites. Users can perform searches and choose to be alerted when a deal becomes available for their chosen product.
Be Healthy
Sprint customers can use their phone to help keep them on the right track when it comes to eating healthier in 2010:
- Calorie Counter by FatSecret has all the tools to help users succeed, including calorie and nutrition information, a barcode scanner for nutrition labels, a food diary to plan and keep track of menus and a journal to record progress. Calorie Counter by FatSecret is available through BlackBerry App World for BlackBerry users and through Android Market for HTC Hero and Samsung Moment and BlackBerry users.
- Diet Control gives Palm Pre and Palm Pixi users a way to log and monitor their weight, food intake and exercise. They can also use a point value system to eat healthier.
Of course, being healthy isn’t just about eating right. Come Jan. 2, gyms will be packed with people trying to shed those extra holiday pounds. But that doesn’t have to keep Sprint customers from fulfilling their resolution to get active:
- AllSport GPS can help users meet their fitness goals by tracking distance, time, calories, routes, speed and elevation profiles without braving the gym crowds – perfect for running, cycling, walking and hiking. AllSport GPS is available for HTC Hero and Samsung Moment through the Android Market™ and for LG Lotus™, Samsung Rant™ and other Sprint phones through the Sprint Digital Lounge.
- JogStats lets Palm Pre and Palm Pixi users use GPS to track stats while jogging and analyze them when the workout is finished. Stats recorded include time, distance, speed, pace, calories and altitude. Speed, altitude and the user’s GPS route can be viewed in easy-to-read graphs.
Get Organized
- Evernote, available for Palm Pre, Palm Pixi, HTC Hero, Samsung Moment and BlackBerry phones, lets users capture notes, to-dos, business cards and more with photos, dates and tags. Customers can sync with their computer and find entries later with the search feature.
- Tag-ToDo-List gives HTC Hero and Samsung Moment users an improved “to-do experience.” Features include the ability to draw graphical notes, record audio and use keyboard shortcuts to help users check their “to-do” items off the list.
Broaden Horizons
Sprint phones can help customers learn something new everyday with access to a range of instructive and fun applications:
- wikiHow can help users learn how to do everything from performing CPR to escaping from a bear. This free app available on Palm Pre and Palm Pixi features 60,000 step-by-step how-to articles, including a Survival Kit for life’s most challenging situations.
- Guitarist’s Reference gives customers the chance to learn about guitar chords, scales, arpeggios, triads, standard tuning, alternate tunings, and more right on their Palm Pre or Palm Pixi. It’s the ultimate reference for both beginner and advanced guitarists.
