In today's Android App Spotlight, we take a look at Scoreboard. This application was developed by Google for Android, so as you'd imagine it works great. Scoreboard is not simply a place to find score updates, but you'll also find schedules. Not only do you get live scoring, but it also allow you to go back. Curious as to who won the Eagles vs Browns on Monday Night Football? Simply select NFL and scrollback to get the scores. There are even more features for the sports obsessed.
A carryover from other Google apps is favorites. You can select your favorite sports team and Google will provide live update notifications. I enjoy hockey and I'm following the Islanders in their pursuit of the number one overall pick in next year's draft. Scoreboard enables me to receive notifications at the start or end of game, every period or every goal. Thankfully, I added Scoreboard after Pittsburgh outscored the Isles 9-2 last week.
The T-Mobile G1 represents the first ever device that is powered by Google's Android operating system. Priced at $179.99, it combines a touch screen, hard buttons ,slide-out QWERTY keyboard, GPS, 3.2 megapixel camera and WiFi. So, how does the world's first Google phone stack up? I've spent the last few weeks testing the G1, so I'd be able to offer a comprehensive look at T-Mobile's G1 and for that matter the Android OS. Let's get started.
