Full Name:
----------
  Live Cricket Score for Mobile Devices

System Group Name:
-----------------
  live-cricket

Type:
-----
  non-GNU software &amp; documentation

License:

  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  LiveCricketScore is a simple utility which runs on mobile devices
supporting J2ME(MIDP 1.0) and show live scores of cricket matches. The
application is developed in java programming language and uses the J2ME, MIDP
1.0 specification. There are no other restrictions as to the platform or the
architecture of the mobile device. Its small in size(~5kb) and should remain
so in future also. Whenever user requests the score to be updated, connection
is established to the internet and the relevant details are downloaded from  a
particular url. The data downloaded is less than 500 bytes for every update.
Currently the application shows only the matches in which 'India' is one of
the playing nations(because the url from which the data is loaded may not
always provide feeds for other matches) but that will soon change with plans
to use HTML scraping to get the details for other matches too. The idea is to
provide a simple and efficient way to keep a tab on the latest scores of
various cricket matches played through out the world with out having to
resort to television, computer etc or browse the web sites from the mobile
which would download lots of unnecessary bytes. Any kind of support in the
mobile phone to connect to the Internet is fine.


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  The application runs on any mobile device that has J2ME(MIDP 1.0) installed
on it. For users who do not have a J2ME implementation installed on their
device and need to download it separately, i am willing to port this
application to a Free J2ME implementation if it is 
available and some one points me to it.
