Zodal has released RugbyMate, a next generation 3G mobile utility for keeping track of the Rugby World Cup on your mobile phone. The application is receiving rave reviews in the Mobile Blog Sphere and has also been highlighted in the popular Idealog magazine, a top magazine in New Zealand with a publication focus on entrepreneurial business.

RugbyMate was originally developed for Series 60 mobile phones, such as the new Nokia N95 which support the free Adobe Flash Lite Player, other moble handsets that support the Flash Application are Sony Ericsson, Samsung and Panasonic Phones. The rich graphical mobile utility is also available for free on the Apple iPhone. An updated version of RugbyMate was released today, available for Smart Phones such as i-Mate, Treo, and Blackberry.

The mobile utility is receiving thousands of views, as rugby fans want to support their favorite team such as the All Blacks on mobile, the Wallabies on mobile, South Africa on mobile or their Northern Hemisphere teams and want to keep up-to-date with the exciting Rugby events in France during this 2007 World Cup Rugby Event.

As peoples lifestyles continue to demand more freedom they are they must have access to the scores and information or the ability to check the schedule for the upcoming games while they are out and about with friends, at the beach, or socializing in the city. RugbyMate provides constantly updated information about the latest events at the World Cup direct to your mobile phone. The Rugby Mate application is free, so you don’t have to wait until you get home and back to your old desktop computer to find out what is happening in the action.
