Cricinfo's Mobicast now available on iPhone

BANGALORE, INDIA: ESPN-owned cricket website Cricinfo today announced the launch of Cricinfo Mobicast for Apple’s iPhone.

The service is also supported on other mobile device platforms including off-the-shelf feature phones and smartphones such as Symbian phones, RIM Blackberry devices, Windows Mobile smartphones, Palm Treos and Pocket PC-enabled PDAs.

Mobicast is the first full-fledged cricket widget for iPhone. iPhone users can access Cricinfo’s live, ball-by-ball updates, scorecard, match schedules, news, photos as well as podcasts from experts like Ian Chappell, Tony Greig and Geoff Boycott.

The Mobicast widget will automatically update, eliminating the need for constant web page refreshes and long waits. Cricinfo offers the service in association with Plusmo as a free service.
