T-Mobile USA befriends MySpace Mobile

T-Mobile USA announced the addition of social networking service MySpace Mobile for the operator's popular Sidekick device. According to T-Mobile, the MySpace Mobile software is closely integrated with the Sidekick hardware, user interface and applications, with an emphasis on translating key features of the MySpace experience from PCs to handsets. MySpace Mobile features include a customized user interface that assembles messages, friend requests and comments into one home screen along with real-time updates like profile editing and photo management. "Innovating on our mobile platform is one of the most important initiatives for us," said Amit Kapur, MySpace VP of business development. "Given the high degree of MySpace and Sidekick usage overlap, we know our users will be thrilled to have this optimized experience."
