Live from Sprint's press event.
Sprint spends a lot of money on production values at these events. Okay, that's my last comment.
The press event is wrapping up. Gonna get me some hands-on time with the new phones.
The takeaway from the show so far? LOW END ANDROID PHONES UNDER YOUR TREE THIS YEAR.
It's not that I stopped liveblogging, it's just that I really don't know what to say here. One way to say it: Sprint just introduced a new level of fragmentation to the already insanely fragmented Android space.

One way to look at Sprint ID is to say that Sprint is attempting to cram a bunch of big money content down everyone's throats. Another way to look at it is that Sprint is trying to help entertainment-hungry customers sift through the content overload silo and find stuff that they'll actually enjoy. I'm sure there's a third way to look at it, too.

SOmeone in the Sprint movie literally just said, "There's a Sprint ID pack for that." Stop the There's-an-app-for-that madness!
I have no idea if these Sprint ID Pack promo videos are intentionally funny or so insanely bizarre that they're unintentionally funny
