Sprint's Top BlackBerry Android Palm Pre Apps 2Day For Happy Successful New Year

ShopSavvy.jpgSprint 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.
