I love watching the Olympics. Wether it’s watching US crush everyone is swimming, or watching them come so close to gold in gymnastics. Unfortunately, we don’t have TV’s everywhere! If you have an iPhone, your in luck. You can get updates on the Bejing Olympics in many ways and here I will show you 5.
To start, there is a great web app called iOlympics. I know most people are getting used to native apps, but this one is actually almost as good as the native ones. It has a great news section which collaborates all the news from the different broadcasters and stations.
Now lets get on to the native apps. The best one, in my opinion is the Lenovo Summer Olympics 2008 App. It is free and gives you almost everything you could want to know about the Olympics. It has a nice UI for Olympic news, athletes, photos and blogs.
Debatably, the second best way to get the Olympics on your iPhone is an app called Sports Tap. Sports Tap gives you information about all sports, but it also has the Olympics as one of the icons you can tap. Sports Tap give you a nice, clean interface with basic information. It is a very good app for quick news, results and medal counts. It is also good because it it’s not a waste after the Olympics are over, like some other applications are. It also does not cost a cent.
Another good app is Fandora’s Box Summer Olympics 2008 App. This app costs $0.99 and tracks news and results of the whole Olympic games. If you really care about the olympics or are some how a part of it, it’s a good buy. Otherwise, do not waste your money.
Even though this one had the same name as the web at, iOlympics is totally different. It also costs $0.99 and it’s not quite the app worth purchasing. While the icon sure looks promising, the app does not do much. All it will really let you do is select a competition (there are hundreds) and see the results. Again, don’t waste your money.
There is one more way to get the Olympics on your iPhone, but I am not counting it because it is so bad. It is called Bejing2008. This app is horrible… It is $1.99 and looks like it was created with crayons. Do not buy it…
Well, it looks you should either use Sports Tap, iOlympics (the web app) or the Lenovo Summer Olympics 2008 app. You can also use all three! Thats only if you are an Olympics addict like me
