Apps For 2012 Summer Olympic Games Abound



Whether it is a live video stream of the 100-meter dash, on-demand replays of diving, or notifications when the national team wins a medal, the mobile app is likely to play a greater role in the 2012 London Olympic Games.

Nearly 30 percent of 1,330 people questioned in an online survey said they would watch the games on their smartphones, and 31 percent planned to view it on their tablets, according to TechBargains, a California-based deal aggregation website for electronic products, which conducted the poll.

There are no shortage of apps available.

NBC Olympics Live Extra, which is available for iOS and select Android devices, will stream live video of the events and award ceremonies as well as provide access to replays taken from a variety of camera angles.

"It's the app that allows you to take the games with you," said Chris McCloskey, vice president of communications for NBC Sports Group, adding that the app provides more than 3,500 hours of video coverage for all sports and medals.

NBC Olympics, a second app from the network, has more information, including medal counts, news and athlete biographies.
