Admittedly I'm not a huge sports fan. In other words unless it's something special, I don't plan to watch sports on TV. That doesn't mean that I don't have favorite teams and like to engage in conversations with friends about who's winning and who's losing. Speaking of losing, no cracks about the Detroit Lions. Enough said.
Sportacular gets it right
Sportacular is a FREE app for the iPhone and iPod touch that allows you to keep track of your favorite teams. The interface is brilliant. You simply select your favorite teams across national and college leagues and Sportactular will give you up to the minute scores, schedules of upcoming games, and stats.
Just last weekend I was in a workshop and someone mentioned that the Lions were playing. So I pulled out my iPhone and tapped Sportacular and in a few seconds I had the score (they were winning by the way at the point). Scores are updated every 30 seconds as long as the app is running. Every year my buddy who graduated from Ohio State likes to come over and watch the Ohio vs. Michigan game. I have no vested interest in either team, but it's fun watching him get all worked up. With Sportacular I can keep track of Michigan's college games too including the schedule of upcoming games.
Sportacular is another example of a well thought out app that just works! That's why it's my pick for the iPhone App of the Week.

Congratulations to the winners of the iPhone Photo Contest
I want to take a moment to congratulate and thank the Winners of the iPhone Photo Contest. Lot's of great entries and it was certainly hard to pick winners. Luckily the public helped out in a big way by voting!
