Through it, they would enjoy instant access to scores right on their home screen, in addition to benefiting from access to sports news, or favorite ESPN programs, such as the over 900 live events per year on ESPN Mobile TV.

Furthermore, the solution would enable users to easily customize their devices through ESPN wallpapers and ringtones.
