Mobile Sports Pics A Winner
Empics, a company written about before, who can provide photos to websites or mobile phones in only 20 seconds from the moment the picture is taken to when it appears - has won The 5th annual Growing Business Awards for 'Technology in Business' in London, reports Mike Grenville for 160characters.org.
"The technology has already been successfully tested at a number of FA Premier League, UEFA Champions League and Football League matches. Earlier this year, EMPICS ran live web slideshows on Manchester United's official club website. It also provided similar images in other sports, from cricket's Twenty20 Cup to The Open golf championship."
