Sprint announced the launch of MySpace Mobile across all of its web-enabled handsets, becoming the first U.S. operator to offer subscribers free direct access to the new social networking site, which makes its formal debut after roughly six months in beta. Sprint and MySpace promise subscribers the tools to edit their MySpace profiles, view and add friends, browse photo albums, post blogs and bulletins, and send and receive messages via mobile device. According to MySpace, the mobile service generated more than a million unique users during beta trials. "Mobile is the next generation of social networking," said MySpace senior director of mobile business development Brandon Lucas in a prepared statement. "Our partnership with Sprint makes it easier and faster for customers to get the most out of MySpace when they're on the go."
