Games and applications on the 3G-enabled Sprint PCS Phone SPH-a500 by Samsung.

This week at JavaOne, Sprint clearly created a buzz with the 3G-enabled handsets that demonstrated mobile games and other applications downloaded live from the
Sprint Third Generation Network running for the show at the conference center,
and with the newly released Sprint-specific development tools. Sprint, which operates the largest all-digital, all-PCS nationwide
network and is the fastest growing wireless carrier, today concluded a
successful week at JavaOne, where it unveiled several different wireless
programming components.

Sprint distributed free toolkits designed specifically for Java
programmers who desire to place their applications on Sprint's 3G network. The
Sprint PCS Developer Resource Kit(SM) includes a Sprint-specific JAVA API
(Application Programming Interface) document. The Sprint PCS Wireless
Toolkit(SM) for the Java platform testing environment for J2ME includes device
emulators -- the essential technical components needed to create wireless
applications for Sprint's Third Generation Network.
"Sprint's Java programming toolkits connect content developers with the
components necessary to design applications for Sprint's 3G network," said
John Yuzdepski, vice president and general manager of Sprint's PCS.com
division. "Combine our new toolkit with the strategic advice of our
Application Developer's Program and the second Developer's Conference in
August, and developers should have everything they need to get started with
Sprint."
Proving that these dynamic Java applications will be accessible on
cutting-edge devices in the very near future, Sprint showcased two new
handsets that will be available with the planned launch of its 3G network in
mid-2002. With their sleek and stylish packages, the two new Sprint Third
Generation Phones by Samsung, the SPH-n400 and the SPH-a500, combine
full-color screens, polyphonic ringers and sounds through CMX technology, and
high-speed Internet access to support new and enhanced applications.
For Sprint customers, 3G1X services are expected initially to provide
faster wireless data speeds and enhancements to existing applications and
services when using 3G-enabled devices like the n400 and a500. This also
establishes a platform for subsequent releases of new and more robust
applications, including email with attachments, interactive messaging and
wireless digital imaging, as data speeds increase.
"As we launch Sprint's Third Generation Network, it will be increasingly
important to provide our customers with the means to connect to the people and
information most important to them," added Yuzdepski. "Aggregating the
best-designed JAVA applications with flexible content stocking, management and
intelligent content presentation will ensure Sprint customers receive the most
complete, dynamic 3G experience possible."
The Sprint PCS Application Developer's Program coordinated and managed the
activities and demonstrations at JavaOne. The group is designed to help
developers turn programming ideas into successful wireless applications. The
program assists them by providing relevant technical information, a discussion
forum to answer questions and a newsletter that offers the latest information
on Sprint's innovative services.
