The Palm webOS mobile platform has recently received two applications, designed especially for the Pre phone by Zumobi. Boasting to be one of the first launch partners for the Palm Pre, the Zumobi network has added brand new versions of its renowned Today Show and Sporting News Baseball apps as part of it. The Palm Pre’s on-device beta App Catalog has these two applications available as free downloads.
Through the Today Show application consumers can access program’s leading news, entertainment and lifestyle content from the convenience of their mobile devices. This application is unique in the morning news category and provides an innovative way to watch America’s number-one morning program for more than 13 years running.
“The Zumobi Network offers a broad portfolio of engaging mobile applications for next-generation smartphones, and we are thrilled today to add the new Palm Pre to our device line-up,” commented Ken Willner, CEO of Zumobi.
“As mobile devices have improved in capability and networks have improved in capacity, we’ve been able to build immersive mobile experiences that more closely resemble the experience of watching television or high-quality online video,” commented Jeff Maurone, product manager at msnbc.com. “The elegance of the Palm webOS platform has allowed us to deliver TODAY’s content to TODAYshow.com’s rapidly growing audience, which heavily overlaps with the Palm Pre demographic, who both want access to the latest news and lifestyle content anytime, anywhere.”
Palm Pre’s new and exclusive Sporting News Baseball app offers in-game score update alerts as well as a calendar that enables users to put their favorite teams’ games straight away onto their own calendar. Sports fans can gain immediate access to scores, full standings, stats, MLB league and team news, player details, in-game updates, post-game recaps, and much more through this application, which derives exclusive content from SportingNews.com.
Sports fans who enjoy playing fantasy games, blogging and using the site’s social networking tools should find SportingNews.com a haven. Compared to any other sport, fans of baseball are the craziest after stats and information regarding their favorite teams and players. Therefore this collaboration between SportingNews.com and the Palm Pre introductory launch is a perfect combination for sports fans.
