the OTHER media launches its first iPhone application for the ECB
Written 14.05.09 by: Sally Smith
the OTHER media is pleased to reveal its first iPhone application, designed for the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB). The app will be available free-of-charge in the iTunes store from today and is designed for cricket fans on the move who want to stay in touch with latest scores and news.
The application gives users access to all the latest international and domestic cricket scores, together with news, match-specific photos and videos. With its slick graphics and smooth transitions the app not only looks good but works well too.
Full scoreboard functionality provides up-to-the-minute scores, plus headline information including the totals of current batsmen, number of overs bowled and the fall of the last wicket. Rotating the screen reveals full batting scorecards for all innings played, while tapping the screen brings up each team’s bowling statistics for the match.
Julian Goode, ECB New Media Manager is delighted with the iPhone application, "I'm really impressed by the work that the OTHER media have put into producing our first iPhone app. It adds another item to our suite of new media products and will open up ecb.co.uk and ECB new media content to a whole new audience for us. It is something we will work on together over the coming months to make it even more of a stand-out app, which the iPhone audience and cricket fans will lap up."
The ECB iPhone application is completely free and is available from the iTunes App store:
