Sports Scores, News?
 

Hello everyone: I am pretty new on these forums. I am looking for a good Pocket PC application that can provide me with sports scores and news on the go. Don't want to be opening up my browser every time to check on different scores.

Any ideas and suggestions?

pocket sports center - maybe this is what you're looking for?

+1 on the PocketSportsCenter. It keeps a running scroll of scores you select as a Today plug-in, or you can run as a stand-alone app as well.

It doesn't report news though, just scores.

Depends, if you just want scores then you could go for PocketSportsCenter.

But for a broader set of features, PocketExpress is good.

Would be interested to hear your comparison. I use PocketExpress, never tried PocketSportsCenter

I tried pocket sports center for about a week and messed around with the settings but it would not update on the times that i set for it. for football it was always about 2 quarters behind it would show final scores eventually. I am going to try pocket express. maybe I am not putting the right settings in for pocekt sportscenter???

That's very strange behavior. I've been using it since it first came out and can honestly say that I've never had any real problems to speak of. It's extremely stable and easy to make changes to.

It pulls real-time data from Fox Sports so unless there was a particular problem with Fox Sports updating then I don't know what could have been the issue.

this treo 800w is my first pda and i cant figure out how to download this sportscenter application. it is a zip file but i cant figure out what i am supposed to do with it. I have winzip but i dont even know what to do with that because i am extracting the files but nothing is really happening. I know this is a total newb question but i have searched and havent come across any VERY basic instructions for how to get this on my phone. any help would be greatly appreciated.

The best thing to do is download the file via your pc. Then hook up your pc and your ppc (e.g., via ActiveSync). Unzip the zip file on your pc. Inside that will be a .cab file that you'll drag from your pc to your ppc (pda). Then navigate to the .cab on your ppc and tap it to install.

Also, you can use something like Total Commander on your ppc to unzip zip files.

Does that help you out?

my main problem is using winzip. i have the .zip file in winzip but i guess i am not sure how to unzip it. i double clicked it which i think opened the .cab file, but there are like 20 items in it. do i drag all of those from my pc to my ppc? thanks

Are you sure you're not trying to unzip the .cab file?
