			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The day is finally here. This morning our first internal application is out in public. <a href="http://bit.ly/doaUku">Champions</a> is a cricket application that gives you the power to get up-to-date game information quickly and easily. Our aim was to provide easy to use interface and  a fun interactive way to see and follow your cricket.</p>
<p>So what does Champions do?</p>
<ul>
<li>Easy to read summary panels</li>
<li>Games schedule</li>
<li>Ball-by-Ball coverage</li>
<li>Full scorecard</li>
</ul>
<p>Why did we build this?</p>
<p>Frankly, there are a few cricket applications on Appstore that provide somewhat similar functionality but all of them lacked one  thing &#8211; usability. I have written a complete review of Cricinfo&#8217;s cricket application on iPhone and you can <a href="http://www.obaidahmed.com/2010/02/08/cricinfo-iphone-application-review/">read my frustration</a> there. We wanted to build an application that will make cricket easy and fun to follow. So this is our first step towards that.</p>
<p>One of the main design decision that went into this application was the &#8220;summary panels&#8221;. We wanted to allow our users to quickly look at the game summary without scrolling or tapping too much. So we decided to create &#8220;summary panels&#8221; which give you a quick summary of the game and allow you to view full scorecard or ball-by-ball coverage of the game quickly and easily.</p>
<p>This is just version 1.0, we hope to add many features in our next release.</p>
<p>Give it a try and tell us what you think. If you like the application please leave a review.</p>
