MySpace and Sprint land mobile partnership

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. wireless operator Sprint Nextel Corp will make it easier for its cell phone customers to link to a free version of online social network MySpace.

Instead of typing the entire address, cell phone users will be able to connect to News Corp's service by clicking a link, the companies said in a joint statement.

The deal will also include links to News Corp's other Internet properties, including FOXSports.com and IGN.
