Nokia’s ESPN Hub Highlighted on Information Week
Posted by Lindsay Lamb – March 15, 2012Unlike a “Killer Bee” a “Killer App” is actually a very GOOD thing to come across – However rare they both may be. In the world of software, producing a “Killer App” is a monumental accomplishment and an ideal testament to Vectorform’s general awesomeness – but perhaps not our modesty.
In collaboration with Nokia and ESPN, Vectorform designed and developed what Information Week’s Eric Zeman calls the “Killer Windows Phone App” with the sports fan in mind. Noting our adherence to Microsoft’s Metro UI aesthetic, Zeman agrees with our decision to present the sports fan with scores content right off the bat, stating “I don’t know about you, but when I hit up a sports-related website, the information I am generally looking for most is scores”. Beyond scores content, Zeman praises Vectorform’s implementation of Microsoft’s “Metro” design principles, noting the applications navigation functionality that allows users to “…really drill down quickly”, and move through news, videos, and social content from the most notable ESPN commentators.
Giving the ultimate nod to Microsoft, Nokia, and Vectorform, Zeman states, “…the ESPN Hub is one service that truly sets Windows Phone apart from other platforms”, commenting specifically on the Hub’s breadth of content noting what sports fans everywhere agree upon: the Nokia ESPN Sports Hub “…encompasses far more than just news and highlights”. Calling the Nokia ESPN Sports Hub, “…a good incentive for smartphone buyers to seek out Nokia’s excellent hardware”, Zeman tends to agree; For the Sports fan, the ESPN Sports Hub available on Nokia Lumia smartphones truly sets the bar as the premier mobile sports experience.
