5 tech tools for the Super Bowl

When the Giants and Patriots take the field on Sunday in Indianapolis, they won't be doing battle in soft leather helmets with no face masks. And there definitely won't be some kid on the sideline ladling out water from a tin bucket to quench their thirst after a big play.
So, if the Super Bowl teams have embraced emerging technology, why shouldn't you?
Sure, you could just sit there staring blankly at the screen, scooping salsa out of the jar with your fingers and saying, "Hey ... wasn't that ... what's-her-name?" after every surprise celebrity commercial appearance. But the tech and Web worlds want better for you.
Here are five techie tools that can help make you an all-pro couch potato on Sunday.
1. Official mobile app
The NFL has rolled out an app for the big game for both Apple and Android mobile devices.
Included are some features that would be most useful for people actually attending the game, such as real-time traffic and parking information and, perhaps most importantly, directions to the nearest restroom in Lucas Oil Stadium.
But any football fan can get some value from other features, like "NFL Huddle," which pulls together social buzz about the game.And here's good news, particularly for those who shelled out for tickets, travel and hotel accommodations in Indy -- both versions of the app are free.
2. Apps for the all-important commercials
If you're one of those folks who wouldn't know BenJarvus Green-Ellis from Osi Umenyiora, you're probably more excited about what happens during breaks in the action. The mobile world has not forsaken you.
Both "Super Ads: Super Bowl Commercials" and "A+ Super Bowl Commercials" bring all the best blockbusters ads from the Super Bowl together in one place (for iOS users, anyway).
And as the new ones roll out, you can be among the first to decide what worked and what didn't. USA Today's popular Ad Meter will be whirring in real time and can be accessed either on the paper's website or its mobile app.

  1. Mobile apps are too demandable product in the mobile industry. People are searching the apps which can give all features which they need and for that they can pay right amount for it. Mobile apps provide the way through which people are complete their work using less efforts.
