Wireless carrier Sprint has just announced a series of enhancements brought to its Sprint ID solution, including the addition of new partners into the mix. The announcement was made during the company’s 2010 Open Developer Conference on Wednesday.

“Today Sprint announced new partners for Sprint ID, the user-friendly new way for Sprint customers to personalize their Android experience,” the company announced

According to the company, the list of companies supporting the Sprint ID solution now includes enterprise partner Deluxe and consumer partner AOL, along with UPS, Canvas, IHG and BodyMedia.

“Developers at the conference are learning that Sprint ID offers opportunities for them to create apps that may be included in packs or to create their own packs, including enterprise-oriented packs to improve the productivity of mobile workforces,” the wireless carrier also announced.

With Sprint ID, users are able to select a series of ID packs that include apps, widgets, screensavers and more, all put together in a single download, and available for a number of three new Android smartphones.

Users can add a number of up to five ID packs, along with the My ID basic Android experience, all available with a single touch, enabling users to easily move through experiences.

“Through packaged, relevant applications, Sprint ID gives both powerhouse brands and start-ups a chance to provide context for a multifaceted, rich experience. It gives businesses the opportunity to improve the productivity of their increasingly mobile workforces,” the wireless carrier noted.

According to the company, Sprint ID can prove beneficial for developers too, as it offers users the possibility to navigate through more business and personal applications.

Sprint ID has been mainly developed so as to offer users the possibility to discover and use applications. Thus, as users discover more applications, developers are more successful.

“During the conference, Sprint ID will be featured in breakout sessions, discussed during the Android coding lab, and demonstrated in the exhibit hall. Information is also available at http://developer.sprint.com/sprintid,” the company concluded.
