More on mobile... we reported the rise in mobile gaming predicted by a Juniper survey last week, with bullish claims that mobile betting will soon be making massive profits.

It appears that Sporting Index are making moves to reap the benefits of this developing technology by teaming up with mobile technology providers mfuse, which has led to the launch of the new Bet on the Move service.

This is in effect an extension for mobile users of SI's online spread betting service . Bet on the Move punters will get free Java handsets incorporating the latest color display technology to provide live betting updates on odds to gamers. Clients will be able to view their open bets, close bets, withdraw and deposit money in a similar fashion to internet vehicles.

Sporting Index has been around since mid-2001 and now owns 70% of the market for online spread betting. Last year rivals UKBetting signed up with Orange to offer betting on mobiles.
