Sprint is the first U.S. carrier to offer the application developer community a free Developer Sandbox (http://developer.sprint.com/sandbox), open to all Sprint registered developers, that provides developers access to an expansive set of Sprint network, handset and product capabilities to use in creating applications. The first Sprint Developer Sandbox, which launches today, is the Sprint Network and Product Services Sandbox. The sandbox provides an easy-to-use format where developers can take the Sprint services and mashup with other available third-party services to create innovative web pages and applications. The new Developer Sandbox simplifies the developers' ability to leverage Sprint's powerful network services. Sprint will be launching additional sandboxes in the Sprint Developer Sandbox that highlight a specific set of development capabilities.
