Hi All,
I've done a search here and around google for this, iPhone have a great looking app for the football scores which is free by sky sports.
Is there a winmo version, or is it possible to do?
I'd even have a go at porting it if I knew what I needed to do etc.
If anyone could shed any light it would be most helpful
Cheers.
I am also interested in this. I know there is a sky app, but it is just a news feed not a live scores updater
it's not a program but you can try to add this quick link on internet tab:
iphone.livescore.com
better than nothing
I have had a look at the iphone livescores, I found it better using bbc's website. I just thought that sky sports app on iphone looks brilliant, and would love that on my lovely hd2 phone
Hey y'all, this is my first post and I hope that I'm not putting this in the wrong forum.
Anyways, I'm seriously contemplating getting an HD2 (currently on a G1), but I'm still uneasy about the inevitable shock of switching from the huge Android app market to the lackluster Windows Markeplace. I can deal with losing most of my frequently-used apps, but I don't know if I can deal with not having any type of app available to quickly check sports scores (Major League Baseball scores in particular).
My question is this: Is there any app available for the HD2 on Windows Marketplace or otherwise that will allow me to quickly check MLB scores?
Thanks for any info!
^ ... quick bump for the evening crew
There is no sport app other than world cup. I've asked a couple times, and either get no answer or that their is not one. I would like an app that track all sports scores..
this is how i get the scores.
go to espn.com/mlb go to scores and then add that page to your favorites go to internet tab add as favorite, you just made mlb scores app and it reload automatic.
just use sports tap mobile save the page as a favorite then do a quick link! Thats what I did works great!!! Just like my old sportstap on android but without alerts
You know, for a company who revolutionized search on the internet, Google put hardly any effort into making the Marketplace truly usable. Did they assign that project to some part-time clerical wonks or what?
Here's an example:
I am looking for a free Texas Hold 'Em Poker game and I expect I will be installing and uninstalling a fair number of programs, so I want my search to be fairly specific. So I drill down to the Android>Games>Cards and Casino section and search for "poker."
Results: 548 apps (the app searched in the entire Marketplace instead of just Cards and Casino games.) The first page (20 items) contains some candidates, but also contains 2 bingo games, 2 slot games and a roulette app. so 1/4 of the results are worthless and then 3 of what's left cost money. What's worse, the pages following are chock-full of Lady Gaga wallpapers, lots more non-poker card games and more that aren't even card games.
Changing the search string to "texas poker" cuts it down to under 100, but still way too many to mess with.
Now, every one of these apps is categorized in a number of ways - category, sub-category, price, rating, popularity and probably a good bit more. But almost none of that is usable in the Marketplace app on the tab.
The PC version is a little better in that you can filter the results by several of these things and that cuts the "poker" search results down to about 300 but the app we run on the tab should be as functional as this. On the PC, using every filter available, I can get it down to 50 apps or so and that is borderline acceptable to me - but it shouldn't be that hard and I cannot do this WITHIN the app at all.
Anybody else hate this necessary evil?
From google io they are going to attack the market interface and sections. Might make searching easier.
The web based version is much better imo.

I can't find any reference to King Poker. Would it be Poker King?
If that is the one you are talking about, It is almost completely unplayable for me.
The cards are so tiny they are almost unreadable and for two hands my cards weren't even shown.
Uninstalled.
This thread is specially for people from India and people who recognise the Indian Talent across the globe.
Let me ask you a question : Who doesn't like to see his community name or country's name flashing in news ? Isn't it a proud moment for all of us?
Take an example of Xiaomi news braodcasting over news channel. You are running late but the moment you hear the news, your feet freez on floor and spearding a wide curve on your face, you look at the TV and smile proudly
The same case is with every nation and their people, beat it's India or China.
Today we are going to explore some cool featured applications which are "Made in India".
Hike Messenger
With instant messaging becoming such a huge trend since of late, it was only natural that India would not be far off the bandwagon. Hike is a communication app that offers both SMS and instant messaging in one single app. Developed by Bharti Softbank, a 50-50 partnership between Japans Softbank telecom provider and Indias Bharti Telecom, the app is the brainchild of Kavin Bharti Mittal. This cross platform messenger app is pretty similar to WhatsApp, but also allows users to communicate through SMS when they do not have access to data on the go, or mobile internet.
Features that make Hike worth trying are:
Invite each of your friend via SMS for FREE
Users can create group to chat with their friends and family members, even along with those who are not in Hike via SMS
Share videos, photos and other attached files up to 6MB via Hike or SMS to anyone
Simple User Interface will make you fall in love with it
No username or PINs required and Hike is always connected
Even if phone is switched-off, Hike saves the offline messages automatically so that users can read them later
All messages on hike are encrypted over Wi-Fi
Application can be moved to SD card also
Share your locations with friends
Pros:
Fast
Simple UI
Sends message to non-hike users as well
Free of cost
Cons:
Smileys and emoticons seems old
Few glitches while uploading multiple files

This way you can spend whatever time you want to play and when can't continue any longer you can just close the app and continue later whenever you want to.
You can select the number of players you want in the game, the overs and the information you need. A thin bar at the bottom of the game also displays useful information during the game like your present run rate, number of overs finished as well as the the number of balls remaining in the over.
Real Cricket 14 is a Freemium game which means that it has advertisements and in app purchases. You can remove the ads by making a one time payment of Rs.50. For the same amount you can unlock more features of this game like T20 World Cup, Knockout Trophy, Master Teams or Super Over.

Shifu
Shifu is a popular Indian-made productivity and task management app that observes how a users uses their phone and reminds them about all the tasks that need to be done. The app has been developed by Deepansh Jain, Michael Massey and Prashant Jain. Instead of you having to set specified time for your specified tasks, Shifu alerts you when you might have the free time to complete a particular task. It has wi-fi based, phone call based, and location based alerts integrated into it. So far, Shifu has 50k downloads on the app store.
One of the big upsides of using an Android phone is the sheer scope of customisation that is available to users. Rooting your phone and choosing a completely different version of the operating system isn't hard, but otherwise there is a whole laundry list of apps that can change everything from the way your phone looks to the way it works.
Shifu, by Delhi-based The Signals, is one such app, which lets you outsource the job of remembering what's important and when to do it. The app keeps running in the background and tracks how you're using your phone. It also requires access to your phone's calendar. So it knows, for example, that at 9AM every day, you're traveling from home to office, and it knows that you're going to take half an hour to get there.
Shifu is a personal assistant app, which helps you record reminders with respect to time, place and some activities.
The Homepage
Here are some use cases for the app –
General time based reminders – Remind me to call mom/dad/girlfriend at 7:00 pm every day.
Location based reminders – Say you’re visiting a cafe for the first time and you really like it, you can set a reminder to remind you of this place the next time you’re in it’s vicinity.
Activity based – Currently, you can set reminders based on networks you’re connected to (WiFi, 3G etc) or when you’re on a call with someone.
In the process, Shifu does something obnoxious as well – it displays these reminders on your phones home screen. I hate that, but it is definitely one the most effective way of reminding me.
Another reminder app?
I might be a little biased against reminder apps; I still don’t think a disorganized person will become organized because of a reminder app. It is a mindset problem of not caring for the more mundane but necessary tasks of life. These tasks pile up and your life becomes a mess (trust me, I know).
The homescreen reminder display
However, a nag, who holds you accountable has been the closest to getting me responsible and organized. I get the same feeling with Shifu. For things that I haven’t attended to, it makes sure that I know about it with it’s homescreen reminder. It’s ugly, but at least it gets me back into the app to get rid of the reminder notification. Sometimes, I even do the tasks that it reminds me to do.
Pros:
The biggest pro with Shifu is that it has realized what it takes disorganized guys like me to take it seriously. Apart from this, it is feature rich and some of the activity based reminder options are pretty cool and I hope more activities are integrated with Shifu. For example, reminder on using an app excessively (game/social media etc) would be a neat feature.
Cons:
The app is data and sensor intensive and there is a visible drop in battery performance that I’ve experienced since I installed the app. However, this is something that the app developers might want to be wary of. Furthermore, if there was a prettier way of displaying notifications on the homescreen, it would be greatly appreciated.

Good job mate ! there is no need to create this op but nevermind . running out of thanks
Hey, I was just wondering what everyone's favorite sports news app was. For the longest time I always used to like ScoreCenter however some of the more recent updates have made the app really hard to use. Well it is still my go-to app for live score updates, looking at actual sports news is painful with the new layup.
I'm looking for something lightweight that runs efficiently, ideally with lots of video content. What do you guys recommend?
Anyone?
