Cricket is not the official national sport in India but it certainly accumulates much more attention and a greater fan following than the official national sport hockey. The world cup is back and companies are offering attractive deals and discounts to plunge into this exciting mood. Nokia has joined hands with ESPN to introduce the ESPN widget for Nokia N8 users on the Ovi Store.
Owners can update themselves with the latest news which will be directly displayed on their homescreen. The widget renders continuous updates while users can effortlessly switch off the widget as per their requirements.
Jasmeet Gandhi, Head – Services and Devices OPM, commented, “The entire nation is abuzz with the World Cup fever and we are happy to be associated with ESPN to reach out to our cricket-loving consumers. The widget will enable cricket lovers to stay on top of their game, providing them with live news feeds, scores, video clips and much more. We will continue to engage with our consumers with services and information relevant to them providing them an enriched mobile lifestyle.”
The ESPN widget includes live new feeds, live scores and ball-by-ball text commentary, statistics and expert comments, schedules and standings, points along with video clips.
This new ESPN widget can be enjoyed for free with no extra fees on the Nokia N8 handset. Users will only have to shell out for the data download charges as part of their operator bill.
