Championship News, Stats and More Available on Windows Mobile
Phones
SEATTLE--(Business Wire)--
Zumobi, the free open mobile widget platform with Zooming User
Interface, today launched the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball
Championship Sweet Sixteen zoom space. Sports fans using the sixteen
Tiles - one for each team - will be able to keep pace with the madness
this March as they bounce in and out of news, schedules, pre- and
post-game wrap ups, and stats from the action-packed college games.
The basketball-focused mobile widgets join the ever-expanding gallery
of Tiles from Zumobi and its partners including Amazon.com, MTV
Networks, Fox Television, The Associated Press and Yelp.com. To access
the Zumobi Sweet Sixteen zoom space for Windows Mobile devices visit
www.zumobi.com/bball or visit the Zumobi Gallery to customize your
zoom space with Tiles from just your favorite teams.
"The Zumobi Sweet Sixteen zoom space was uniquely created for
college basketball fans on the go," said Zumobi CEO Eric Hertz.
"Keeping an eye on their favorite team or the tournament as a whole
this time of year is a priority for these fans. With the Zumobi Sweet
Sixteen zoom space, they can access the news, schedule, scores and
stats they crave on the teams and players they love."
Zumobi's revolutionary user interface has changed the way people
access, retrieve and share Web-based content on their mobile phones -
allowing them to "bounce" into and out of snippets of the
entertainment and news they want throughout the day. The Zumobi Sweet
Sixteen zoom space is built specifically for basketball fans, and
provides them information on statistics, schedules, news stories and
pre- and post-game wrap ups at a glance. In short, it provides fans a
way to stay on top of the action throughout the March basketball
tournament.
