This Super Bowl weekend, whether you are rooting for the New Orleans Saints or that other team, there is a dog pile of apps to can enhance the game, although I will admit not as many as I would like for some handsets. The Super Bowl app yardage leader is the iPhone. The iTunes app store offers the official NFL Superbowl Program, formatted for your phone, for $4.99. There is a $1.99 Saints-focused WhoDatApp, which has a roster and player data, twitter updates from Saints players (I wouldn’t count on a lot of tweets during a game), and an archive of Bobby and Deke sports talk radio shows, although you need a Wi-Fi connection for audio. There is an Indianapolis-specific app for $1.99, with a schedule, roster and statistics. The free ESPN ScoreCenter app also offers game statistics as well as scoring alerts, just in case you are momentarily distracted by the barbecue. If you need to get out of the house, the free Fan Finder app will help pinpoint sports bars near you. Close behind is single app, but it’s a doozy. Sprint has preloaded the NFL Mobile Live app on 100 models of its phones, and not just smart phones, but semi-smart phones like the LG Rumour and Samsung Reclaim. If the app isn’t on your phone, text 7777 for a download. It’s free, but it will use data minutes. The NFL Mobile Live shows a twitter feed from NFL players and personalities, and you will be able to see live programming from the NFL Network during the game. The Android market is a little skimpy. There are some all-news apps, some fantasy football apps, but I found just one specific Super Bowl app. it is the $1.39 Cajun Super Bowl language quiz, which lets you look up words you might hear from fans cheering the Saints in a N’awlins patois. The Blackberry market is equally thin, with no specific Super Bowl apps that I could see. The best I could do was to find team themes for your phone at $5.99 each. Oddly, the description of Saints theme pack cites the helmet’s “lucky blue horseshoe.” Suspicious, but I’m from Baltimore. I am predisposed to think Indianapolis is up to something sneaky.Super Bowl XLIV Apps to Load Before Kickoff
