Sprint and Google have announced their partnership for integrating Google apps and services into Sprint's mobile services. Along with this deal, Google will now become Sprint's primary mobile search provider. This is a great news as this will make Internet experience for Sprint users much more dynamic. Of course, also with this deal, Google has taken another step towards the mobile market.
This service, as mentioned, will make Google become the default search provides for web search and local search (GPS-enabled) on the Sprint portal on customers' current web-enabled Sprint phones as well as new devices. Also, Google Maps for mobile will be featured in Sprint handsets and also allows YouTube to be accessible to Sprint users.
With some capabilities available as soon as this summer, the partnership with Google and Sprint offers Sprint customers:
* Google mobile search: Google will become the default search provider for web search and local search (GPS-enabled) on the Sprint portal on customers' current web-enabled Sprint phones as well as new devices. On select new devices later this year, Sprint customers will be able to bring up a Google search box on their device's home screen, providing them with one-click access to Google mobile search.
* Google Maps for mobile: Also featured on new Sprint handsets and available on some current smart phones will be Google Maps for mobile, an application that enables users to view maps and satellite imagery, find local businesses, get driving directions and view real-time traffic information when they're on the go.
* YouTube: With this new partnership, millions of fun and interesting YouTube videos -- as well as all the user's favorites, videos and channels -- will be accessible from select new Sprint handsets.
* Location-enabled search and maps: Sprint will also enable users to take advantage of location data for Google search and Google Maps for mobile, making it even easier for users to discover what's around them and then figure out how to get there.
