Sprint 4G App Challenge Winners:
Entertainment
Andrei Goumilevski, Tallahassee, FL - NASA Images
NASA Images showcases 4,000 space images from the NASA APOD site.? Because the images are large, Sprint 4G enables customers to download them quickly.
Gaming
Rob Miley, St. Charles, MO - Say What? Mobile Game
Say What? is the mobile version of the kids' game Telephone, where one person whispers a phrase in someone's ear, and that person would repeat what they heard to the next person.? Once the game is complete, players can hear the beginning and ending phrase.? Players are randomly connected to active games.? Interaction with the app and the game server is frequent, so the Sprint 4G Network provides a fast and reliable Internet connection for optimal play.
Productivity
Rajan Singh, San Jose, CA - Recipe Search
Recipe Search is a reverse recipe finder app.? The user simply speaks the ingredients they have in their refrigerator or pantry, and they will see a display of meals with directions that they could cook.? Sprint 4G will reduce latency and deliver results quicker.
Social Networking
Carmen Delessio, Pound Ridge, NY - BFF Photo - Facebook Upload
BFF Photo brings Facebook photos to the user's phone.? Consumers can use the app to view photo albums, friends' albums, and take and upload photos and videos.? The app fully uses the bandwidth and reliability of the Sprint 4G Network to manage the connection to Facebook and the speedy media download to the customer.
Multimedia
Jason Shah, Chicago, IL - Mediafly
With Mediafly Mobile, users can organize and discover podcasts, audio, video, radio and streams from their Android phone.? The Sprint 4G Network makes watching streaming video on this app easy and enjoyable.
