ESPN taps Sanyo for launch of mobile service

CNET News.com
"Sports broadcaster ESPN fleshed out the details of a long-planned mobile phone service on Tuesday, announcing that it will use Sanyo handsets to launch the service by the end of the year.

Mobile ESPN, in the works for nearly a year, will deliver sports scores, audio and video clips, and headlines to subscribers via their cell phones, the network said. Walt Disney's ESPN first unveiled plans for the service last year, announcing it would work with Sprint to develop it.

As the first handset partner for Mobile ESPN, Sanyo said it will produce an 'MVP' phone that can deliver video, audio and text at high speeds. The phone will also feature a high-resolution display, a 1.3-megapixel digital camera, a video and voice recorder, and an MP3 music player, the companies said."
