14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone carrier Sprint has just announced the release of a brand new Sprint ID, aimed mainly at those MTV fans who are fond of keeping their music close to them, and who also own an Android device on the Sprint network, namely the MTV Music ID.
According to the wireless operator, the new Sprint ID should offer MTV fans the possibility to keep tabs on their favorite artists, to stay informed with the latest pop culture news, or to discover new artists while on the go, all while being able to listen to their favorite music.
With MTV Music ID, Sprint customers who own Android-powered mobile phones can easily access the best applications that keep them close to their music and favorite artists.
The Sprint ID solution would offer access to a small number of applications or widgets that let them listen to or access music. Moreover, they can also access ringtones and wallpapers through clicking on the MTV Music ID icon on their device.
Moreover, Android users on Sprint's network can enjoy further customizations of their music experience, via various applications available for download via the Android Market.
With MTV Music ID, music fans get MTV News, MTV Photos and the MTV Music Meter, which would keep them up-to-date with the latest artists, songs and the like.
Moreover, the wireless carrier notes that MTV partnered with the best third-party apps so as to deliver a full music experience to all users.
