BodyMedia Pack Launches on Sprint ID Devices - A Complete Health and Fitness Mobile Experience Now Available on Android™ Devices with Sprint ID

Online, April 27, 2011 (Newswire.com) - BodyMedia, Inc., a pioneer in developing wearable body monitoring and complete weight management systems, today announced a new way for Sprint (NYSE:S) customers to access their calorie input vs. output, understand their calorie balance and create personalized workouts on the go with the Sprint BodyMedia ID pack, a customized bundle of widgets, applications, wallpapers, ringtones and other content for Android devices.

As an alternative to searching through Android Market's™ 150,000-plus apps, BodyMedia ID makes it easy for Sprint wireless customers with BodyMedia FIT Armbands to get the best health and fitness (http://www.bodymedia.com) applications simply by clicking the BodyMedia ID icon on their device. Customers can then use a bundle of applications developed by BodyMedia and other leading third-party apps, such as BigOven and Facebook. A unique aspect of the BodyMedia ID pack is the use of animals and food animation to keep users engaged and motivated.

"Sprint ID is opening doors to further enhance the BodyMedia FIT user experience. By downloading the BodyMedia ID pack, our users' wireless devices are automatically configured to optimize the value of mobile offering," said Mark Handel, director of Software Development on BodyMedia-Sprint ID. "The BodyMedia ID pack is the first of several collaborations we hope to deliver in 2011 and 2012 through our partnership with Sprint."

Earlier this year, BodyMedia announced Sprint as the exclusive wireless and location-based service provider for a new line of embedded wireless BodyMedia FIT Armbands and future wearable body monitors, set to launch in 2012. Similar to the existing BodyMedia FIT Armband, the embedded devices will still be worn around the upper left arm to collect health and fitness data, but will now use the Sprint machine-to-machine (M2M) platform to wirelessly send that information to the users' smartphones. This mobile application can provide near real-time feedback and analysis.

The BodyMedia ID pack includes the following custom applications and widgets:

• BodyMedia FIT Application - Access your Activity Manager, view your Dashboard and log food. The app, along with the BodyMedia FIT Armband, gives real-time insight into your fitness activity and tracks workouts based upon calories burned, exercise level and even number of steps taken.

• BodyMedia FIT Dashboard widget - See your Activity Manager data in this portable view of calories burned (http://www.bodymedia.com), calories consumed, steps taken, physical activity and sleep. With the Bluetooth-enabled Armand BW, you see a real-time snapshot of your data.

• BodyMedia FIT Activity widget - Depicts your current activity level as a member of the animal kingdom. Are you a sloth or a humming bird today?

• BodyMedia FIT Workout widget - Set workout goals based on calories burned, minutes of activity, number of steps or keep it open ended. From here, monitor the status of your workout right from your home screen.
