Dawgs By Nature Featured on NFL Mobile Live for Sprint PalmPre

The SB Nation network continues to grow week-by-week, from the partnership with Yahoo to now a partnership with Sprint to display content from Dawgs By Nature on their NFL Mobile Live app for the PalmPre.

This is sponsored post, but if you're interested in mobile phones, continue to read on for my hands-on experience with NFL Mobile Live. First off, for somebody who has lacked ever having an advanced phone, the PalmPre itself has been incredible. I've already made a few mobile comments on Dawgs By Nature, and when my Internet connection was down last week, I was at least able to keep up on some news by using the phone's Internet browser.

And, yes, believe it or not, I have used the actual "phone" part of it too...once or twice.

Here are some notes of mine regarding the NFL Mobile Live app:

  • You can watch the NFL Network on it. The video quality is bearable enough, and it never gets old seeing highlights or games from the past. I'm more interested for when Thursday Night Football begins later in the season; I'll be watching entire games from the app.
  • The scoreboards are up-to-date, basically in-sync with Yahoo Sports in terms of real-time updates. It's quicker to access the drive charts too, and you also have the ability to listen to either team's radio broadcast on the fly if you so choose to.
  • Another cool feature is getting text alerts when a team scores (or you can choose that for when they are in the red zone). A few weeks ago, when the Jets played the Dolphins on Monday Night Football, I needed a touchdown from Braylon Edwards in fantasy football in order to win. I didn't want to follow the game the entire time since I was watching House and Heroes on television, but I was alerted any time something happened to keep me updated.
  • If you have Sprint, you can access the SB Nation content under the "My Teams" section -- there's a link right to our content that display's in the app for the Cleveland Browns. Although it doesn't feature the comments that go along with an article, it's useful for exposing non-SB Nation users or people-on-the-go to our content, continuing to establish SB Nation's name in the sports industry.

If you have any questions about the application or my other thoughts on the phone, please feel free to ask.

Anyone have this PalmPre? I wonder if it is worth it.

I assume you mean anyone besides me? I can’t compare against a competitor though.

My wife has it. It is absolutely incredible. It makes the Blackberry Storm look clunky and the iPhone look second class.

I’m personally a Samsung man myself. I have a Samsung Eternity which is just a touchscreen phone minus a slide out keypad. Most smart phones now a days have these features. In no way am I taking anything away from you Chris, but if you go to your phone dealer and ask for any smart phone, it will come with internet, tv and other such technological items.

It’s actually smarter to buy an IPod Touch for internet browsing and such though. Only because with an IPod Touch, you don’t need to buy data plans like phones. The Touch has one of the most realistic browers of any type of handheld and the only thing you pay for is the IPod itself, no data plan, no internet connection or tv streams. If you’re in a WiFi area, you have all you’ve ever need.

Also, I think the Palm Pre is an odd looking phone. It’s not in my taste range.

As a friend of mine likes to say, the IPod Touch is the IPhone without the phone. That’s pretty accurate. We don’t get AT&T wireless in my area, so the Iphone is useless to me, but the Touch is great.

That’s exactly it. You even get text with the Touch. An IPhone is the same with a microphone and hidden fees.

I haven’t played witht he iPod Touch, but if its the same as the iPhone browser- I’ll say that the Pre’s is just as good, if not even better.

The Pre has full web that is pretty quick even if just on a 3G signal. If you are in a WiFi area, its even better.

I just wish Verizon would have got the rights to it. As Verizon’s cell phone network is just unbeatable.
