The Foodball (Soccer) World Cup is fast approaching (go Aussies) and the mobile content is beginning to appear with startling regularity…Mobile Entertainment Factory has released a couple of Java apps — Play Off, a news service which provides information about the tournament, and 3D Fan Faces which allows people to take a photo while running the application and then add supporters caps, painted blindfolds or cheeks etc. in the colors of the 32 nations in the cup and send it via MMS.
Still on football but away from the World Cup, Player X has signed up some European carriers for its video highlights of Barclays English Premier League. “The video content has already gone live with Orange, Vodafone, KPN and T-Mobile in the Netherlands, 3 in Denmark, and TV2 in Norway showing mobile video in-match, match, preview and round-up packages for all weekend and midweek matches…Features available include 30-second to 2-minute clips that can be viewed five minutes after incidents such as goals, saves and action updates. Viewers can also access half-time and full-time packages that are available until midnight the following day.”
