Palo Alto, Calif., Jan 28, 2009 - Aricent™, a global
innovation, technology and services company focused exclusively on the
communications industry, today announced its role in the joint
development of the new Sprint One Click, a simple yet innovative user
interface designed to offer Sprint customers instant access to the
information and entertainment they want.
Aricent's global innovation arm frog design, along with its communications
applications and mobile device practice, partnered closely with Sprint to
integrate strategic planning, front-end design, software development and
engineering into one concurrent end-to-end process that brought One Click to
market in less than 10 months. The resulting interface provides a consistent
user experience across a range of Sprint's consumer-friendly wireless phones and
adds significant value to customers.
With a customizable carousel design, One Click allows users to customize
their phones to get one-touch access to the things they use the most including
text messages, Email, navigation, Web access, Google, music, entertainment and
more. Not only can users access what they need right away, they get to choose
what and where it all goes. One Click is yet another example of how Sprint gives
customers instant access to the right products, services and information
delivered through the power and speed of the Now Network.
One Click is available initially on the Samsung Rant, Samsung Highnote, LG
Lotus and Sanyo Eclipse.
"Our collaboration with Sprint allowed us to bring both innovation and
usability to their customers," said Sanjay Dhawan, President and COO Aricent.
"One Click is a clever mix of content and functionality that underscores
Sprint's commitment to creating a more powerful and consistent user experience
across all of their products."
