Tech Review: Apps for the Super Bowl

Super Bowl XLVI is just around the corner, and mobile apps can help you get ready for the big game and the even bigger Super Bowl party.

Whether you are intent on watching every play of the game or are planning a pigskin "par-Tay," we have the mobile app recommendations that will get you into the end zone.

If your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet device transmits data via Verizon Wireless, you'll be able to watch every play of the game (and the Pro Bowl) with this free application. For the first time ever, the NFL and NBC are streaming the games live online and via portable devices. This is great if you need to go on a beer-and-chips run before halftime. NFL Mobile also provides news, highlights, in-game statistics and much more. We hope that the other major carriers will be able to access live games in the years ahead.
