The Australian Open iPhone application has been launched, alongside the first official Android mobile phone application – giving more tennis fans access to breaking news and results from Australian Open 2012.
Developed by Australian Open technology partner IBM, the iPhone app has been a hit with fans since its first release in 2010 and last year saw more than 700,000 fans download or update their app. It is free to download from the App Store and features the latest news live scores, scheduling, draws and completed matches from the year’s first major.
New for 2012 is an interactive, satellite-based map of Melbourne Park and a ‘survival guide’ for fans attending the event including information about dining, shopping, toilets, first aid, disabled amenities and seating charts for Rod Laver Arena and Hisense Arena.
The app contains main draw men’s and women’s profiles, latest photos, videos and Australian Open Radio’s live play-by-play commentary, where users can submit comments to a team of international broadcasters.
The Australian Open and IBM provided the first Android application this year in recognition of the growing popularity of Android mobile handsets. It gives users similar content and is also downloadable free of charge from the Android Market.
Owners of smart phones can also access coverage of Australian Open 2012 on the mobile website www.m.australianopen.com. Developed by IBM, it presents a tailored view of the official website www.australianopen.com with scores, draws, news and scheduling easily accessible.
