Mobile ESPN launches for Blackberry

R.I.P. ESPN phone. While you died an agonizingly slow death, your memory still lives on. Many have probably logged on to ESPN.com via their cell and found ESPN’s WAP version to be pretty easy to get around. For Blackberry users, it’s gotten even easier, in the form of an "app." We put app in quotes because it seems to just be a web link to the aforementioned site, not a true application that pulls scores, etc — this is basically the same thing as the MLB "app" we showed you. But, it is optimized for Blackberry (including tips on how to make it even more so), and gives you the cool, unmistakable "E" on your BB desktop. To download it, point your BB to the link below.
Wow, behind the 8 ball BGR! This has been available on BB downloads for a month. Should also mention Pocket Express, which is also available via the Blackberry downloads HELP page. This is a real application that contains sports and a lot more, that updates automatically and is free.

It would be nice if they would allow mobile video downloads like cnn and abc now do, so that I could watch the sportscenter highlights on my phone.
HINT HINT ESPN!
I would even be willing to pay a monthly fee for video access.

Damn Jeff you beat me to it. If I was only on the east coast.

These apps are such a joke. It’d be nice if rim released some exclusive content like a true application that feeds real time stats and what not which would give more people a real reason to not only download it but others who do not have a blackberry to go out and purchase one.

I liked the site better before this WAP version. Was able to get boxscores in one page, now I have to navigate from one screen to another. Big pain. Comon ESPN, get with the program.

Yeah, I’m not sure which is worse, that people think this is an “app” or that when you go to download it is “version 1.2″.
