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. -

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.
