Tennis anyone? This year you can follow live Wimbledon action using your internet enabled PDA or smartphone giving you the latest scores, match results, order of play, and player biographies.
IBM, who is responsible for all the tech stuff this year, is piloting streaming live action to wireless devices for the first time. Follow the action with a 'Pocket Wimbledon' version of the website, optimised for PDA display over GPRS.
This year they're also using a secure Wi-Fi LAN with 100 client laptops and desktops and 60 PDAs. The units are deployed in the players' lounge, the press centre, and at access points around the grounds.
Official Wimbledon Championships mobile services are offered by 3 and 02 in the UK, and
ESPN Wireless in the U.S.
Go Roger! Go Amelie!
