Uber's ridesharing app will come preloaded on Sprint smartphones

Uber isn't in everyone's good graces these days, but American carriers apparently love it -- Sprint is following in AT&T's footsteps with plans to preload Uber's ridesharing app on new Android devices. It's not saying which devices, although it's safe to presume that it'll cover a wide range of phones. This is a mixed blessing, to put it mildly. While it'll save you some time if you already use Uber for cross-town travel, it's yet another piece of bloatware if you're not a fan... and it's not exactly well-timed given the transportation firm's mounting legal battles.
