This time for Cricket(“Cricinfo Mobicast”)- Ball-by-Ball updates

Another 'Anywhere, Anytime'

Cricinfo Mobicast:

The game needs no introduction. This product needs. But before I introduce you to this amazing product, let me first tell you how I ran into this. Everybody must be pretty aware of the on-going India-Oz Test series, All Thanks to the Reality-showisque 'Bhajji-Symonds' row and Bucknor's infamous umpiring goof-ups, viewership has increased many folds.

I was checking this site [http://www.cricinfo.com] from my workstation for the updates. And I suddenly saw this phrase “now on your mobile phone” and not surprisingly I was attracted to the Advert that said so. I am all eyes now to dig into this further.

Intrigued, I clicked on the link and found a bouquet of services for cricket updates on your mobile (Text, WAP and such). I picked this “Thing” (called Cricinfo Mobicast) to write about - Will post about the rest in later posts, not a promise though. This “thing” is quite interesting. Bonus points for its FREE Service!!

Pre-requisites: A Mobile phone with Java & decent memory and a GPRS connection (Unlimited GPRS plan is advisable.)

Just follow three simple steps and Voila, you are done:

1. Key in the URL[http://ci.plusmo.com] in to your mobile phones WAP Browser.

2. Click Download on the home page

3. Install the Application in your Handset.

Now you are all set to get the Ball-by-Ball updates pushed to your Phone with commentary.

Home screen has all On-going and Up-coming matches listed.

'View' ing the match leads to you to a screen with a ticker at the top with scores and 'ball-by-ball' commentary below. You can as well 'Refresh' the screen (Very useful during the nail-biting 'Need 6Runs from 3Balls' scenario) and view the 'Score card' while you are getting the updates/Commentary.

Refreshing rate is pretty decent – checked the scores on website and on phone simultaneously and scores are pushed to the phones faster. No qualms here.
