They're baaaaack: Java ME tech enables ESPN rebirth

Mobile ESPN (which was a Java ME technology-enabled Mobile Virtual Network Operator [MVNO]) was dropped faster than an important call on the new iPhone, shortly after its launch last year. But, many people say it was because of the limited scope (just sports info) and the high price. But, now ESPN has a new service, ESPN MVP, which is still based on Java ME tech, but expands its coverage (not just sports).

See:

ESPN MVP MVNO (That's a whole lotta letters!)

Here's a quote:

 ...now it's back, rebranded as 
 ESPN MVP. And you know what? 
 It's even better, for a simple 
 reason: You can get your Paris 
 Hilton updates alongside the 
 soap opera that surrounds 
 sluggers Alex Rodriguez and 
 Barry Bonds.
Paris Hilton updates? Like what? June Thirteenth: Paris Hilton still in jail... Not very exciting. But, at least the ESPN MVP Java ME GUI is fun to look at.
