NFL Mobile Live for the Palm Pre was installed along with the WebOS 1.1 update. Like the Nascar app, this app was installed on all devices and will come pre-installed on all new Pre’s from now on. It’s also not possible to uninstall this app from the Pre. It has been better received than the Nascar application and is actually a very well-designed app with only a handful of minor interface issues. With this app you can track the progress of NFL games, teams, and players. You can even setup and play a fantasy series from within the application. The app shows scores (live) and schedules, standings, and news. It comes with video and audio, and I must say the video-on-demand is excellent quality.
The one issue I have with the app is the presence of drop-down menus within the meat of the app. I generally like to see rich content in the middle of the screen and menus banished to the top or the bottom. However, the functionality is very slick and a little time spent with the app will no doubt allow you to get used to any such interface issues. There’s a wealth of data available and you can chose to get notification regarding your favorite teams and players instead of constantly hitting up the app or the website. The NFL Mobile app, while taking up another impossible-to-recover space on the launcher, is an excellent app for sports enthusiasts in general and NFL fans in particular.
