Live sports scores added to the *Spark Android app

*SparkThe *Spark home screen application for Android devices has been updated with a new sports module. Users in the USA can now see sports scores from major American football, baseball, basketball and hockey fixtures, while European users will have cricket and football results available in a couple of weeks.

*Spark creates a new home screen for Android devices with easier access to social networking along with news, entertainment and weather updates. It’s also the only official mobile partner of Groupon in the UK, offering targeted local discounts.

Mark Anderson, CEO of HipLogic - the company behind the app - said “*Spark is the fastest way for people to find scores from US and international sporting events as they are happening.  *Spark’s ability to deliver sports scores in real-time to your phonetop means that fans everywhere will be able to follow every point, goal and score across multiple sports leagues without having to open a web browser or app.”

As well as delivering live results, the *Spark Sports Module will feature sports news provided by CBS. The service integrates with social networks, enabling users to share and comment on games via Facebook, Twitter or SMS.

We spoke to Mark Anderson in December when *Spark was launched in the UK. Click here to listen to the podcast on our website… and catch all of our future podcasts by subscribing to the RSS feed or downloading them via iTunes.

Let the tills ring out...

Mark Bridge writes:

We’re moving into that time of year where product announcements are replaced by promotional campaigns and sales figures. Apple revealed it had sold three million assorted iPad tablets in just three days, while Samsung said its Galaxy SIII smartphone had sold more than 30 million units since its launch in May.

Mark Bridge writes:

Look, I’m a fan of William Shatner. I enjoyed his autobiography on oh-so-many levels. And now the man known to many as Captain Kirk or T J Hooker has launched an iPhone app. It’s one of the few occasions I wish I had an iPhone.

Big news but no big surprises

Mark Bridge writes:

In many ways it’s been a week of big news without big surprises. Apple announced the much-rumoured iPad mini, which is just like an iPad but smaller. It also introduced a fourth-generation update to its larger iPad, promising more speed and more 4G connectivity.
