Sprint reaches out to mobile app developers
Sprint announces a developer outreach effort with an emphasis on location-based apps.
The company made the announcement today during the JavaOne conference in Kansas.
“We want developers to have the tools they need to create useful, engaging and exciting applications for our customers,” said Kevin Packingham, senior vice president of Product and Technology Development for Sprint.
The effort includes a developer sandbox open to all Sprint registered developers that includes Sprint network, handset and product capabilities. The sandbox is listed as for creating apps such as location-based services, messaging applications and others. Also, location aggregation providers, Alcatel-Lucent, LOC-AID and Useful Networks, are said to be on board to help developers make location-based apps.
Also, Sprint is opening its ninth annual Sprint Application Developer Conference, Oct. 26-28, to all developers for the first time.
