I've been working on the MobileGroupTable app for the last few weeks and I've come up with the second version.

This is a pretty big update, and a big departure from the previous version.
Now instead of home win/away win/draw you can enter the scores in the games. Also, results between teams and goal difference are now taken into account when calculating the table.

It's a much bigger file, so it does take a little longer to download onto a phone than the last version. If you have a connection between your PC and phone, I'd advise downloading it onto the PC and sending it across, much quicker.

When you install it, the first time it runs, it connects to my website and retrieves the fixtures and results, then stores them on the phone. This can be a bit tricky, as it can involve changing some of the settings on your phone (at least it did on my 7650 - if you have any problems let me know and I'll help out any way I can). If you're happy with the old version of MobileGroupTable then by all means stick with it, but I won't be updating it, if there's any Java coders in the audience, and you're willing to update it whenever there's a game, let me know and I'll supply the source code.

There's a new option in the menu to update fixtures, whenever there's a game, I'll update my website and you can use this option to download the latest results to your phone. You can also enter the results yourself if you like and save them to your phone.

The beauty of this is that there's no need to issue a new version of the app everytime there's a game played. Also, in the next qualifying series, I'll just have to update the website, you can download the updated fixtures and the app takes care of the rest.

Also, it should work for things like the Heineken Cup, 6 nations, etc. I'm working on a version for the Champion's League, which will also work for the World Cup/European Championship/etc (well that's the theory, knowing my code it's just as likely to arm warheads in some eastern dictatorship )

I've updated my sig with the new page for the app (getjar insist on different pages for different versions) here it is, including instructions - http://www.getjar.com/products/2579/MobileGroupTable

The wap site appears to down at the moment, but you can still download the file from the website onto your computer

My apologies to anyone who's already installed this, I made a small mistake with the fixtures, I've the Swiss - Faroes game down as 0-0 in the fixtures, rather than the 6-0 thumping that actually happened, so the table is not appearing correctly. I've updated the results, so you can either use the update option from the menu, or go back through all the fixtures to that one (it's the very first one!) and change the result, then save the fixtures from the menu.
