Sprint and MySpace announced that starting in early 2008, Sprint handsets will ship with a link from their homepage to the new MySpace Mobile website, currently in beta. The deal will also put direct links to other Fox Interactive Media sites on Sprint handsets, such as RottenTomatoes and FoxSports.com.
I don’t really know that this needed an entire press release, but it’s definitely interesting that MySpace was able to score a direct link from the homepage of Sprint mobiles, and Facebook doesn’t seem to be doing the same. Obviously it’s not difficult for the user to create their own bookmark, but having the link right there on Sprint’s launch page has be big for traffic.
Makes me wonder if there is a big market for a link from the carrier’s homescreen. I wonder if Ewan will be setting up a MySpace page to maintain from his new Sprint phone.
