What do you get when you combine the world’s most popular sporting event with Java?
Football (soccer) is by far the most-watched sporting event in the world today, and what better way to keep track of all the live events than by using the power of Java?
For the first time in the history of the World Cup, football fans will be able to follow the World Cup on their mobile devices through a rich graphical interface. Using a Java ME app downloaded from the official FIFA World Cup site, users will be able to follow every match with real time play-by-play information, live commentary, up to the second scores, and football news.
The Yahoo Mobile Matchcast was developed by EveryPoint and will be available soon.
In the meantime, you might want to download Mobilo’s World Cup 2006 Mobile scoreboard, another Java ME app.
