Ready for some football?

Mobile game developer AirPlay shows off its latest interactive game, which lets football fans play along with the game as it's happening. The basic concept is simple: Fans click through a menu for each play and predict what they think will happen. If they're right, they earn points. The game will be available on Sprint's network starting Tuesday.

Letting the phone ring twice

Openwave, a mobile mini-browser developer, offers a sneak peek at its new Audio and Video Ringback Solution. Instead of just playing a song as a ring back, friends sporting a video-enabled phone can also be treated to a short clip of a music video when they get your call.

Openwave plans to formerly launch the new video ringback on Tuesday when the CTIA trade show officially opens. The company's publicists say the service is in trials with at least one U.S. mobile operator, but so far they are keeping mum on who exactly is testing it.

From console to telephone

The popular Capcom crime adventure game "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney," originally developed for Nintendo consoles, will soon be available on mobile phones.

Capcom booth representatives said that the original console game has sold out and that people are heading to eBay for the game.

Soon, true fans will also be able to enjoy the crime adventure series on handsets as they try to help attorney Phoenix Wright unravel his latest courtroom drama. Players get to cross-examine witnesses to try to figure out who done it.

Verizon Wireless and Cingular will likely get the game first sometime this fall, said one of the Capcom representatives. Sprint and T-Mobile are expected to offer the game as well by the end of the first quarter in 2007.

On-device portal

Handmark, a mobile phone application developer, shows off its on-device portal solution for the first time on Java-based Motorola phones, including the Razr, Slvr and Pebl. Handmark will officially announce the portal availability on Tuesday.

Handmark first announced its portal--which aggregates weather, news and 411-information services, among other features--at the spring CTIA show in Las Vegas. At that point, the portal was supported on Palm's Treo smart phone.

The Handmark portal will be available on all carrier networks that carry the Motorola phones, except Verizon Wireless, which does not use Java to develop Web applications.
