| ESPN ScoreCenter | Free (ad supported) | Comprehensive coverage of scores for just about any sport and team; awesome, intuitive interface | Getting back to top of long lists is a challenge. |
| Fox Sports Mobile | Free (ad supported) | Deep sports coverage (not as comprehensive as ESPN ScoreCenter) that includes news, videos, stats, standings, and team information | Moving from sport to sports requires tapping a button in the top-right corner — not particularly unintuitive. |
| JIRBO Paper Football Signature Edition | $4.99 (free, ad-supported version is time limited) US | It's fun, and flicking a paper football across the table will harken you back to days of play in the school cafeteria. | Limited physics make such moves as the spinning football all but impossible. |
| MLB.com at Bat | $9.99 US during season; free off-season | Live streaming video, real-time box scores, game stats, and more during season; news, video, team info, and previous season stats out-of-season | Unpredictable video quality; some games are unavailable or blacked out in certain areas. |

| CBS Sports Mobile | Free (ad supported) | Colorful graphics, video clips from CBS's extensive coverage, and access to current college polls | Clunky, slow interface |
| Fantasy Football Cheatsheet '09 | $1.99 US | "Up-to-the-minute" player news and injury reports for some 500 ranked players, enabling multiple draft pick lists | Each new season gets a new app, so shop accordingly. |

| PocketDyno+ | $12.99 | Measure and store drag racing performance of your vehicle, including real-time Gs, speed, and distance, 0 to 60 MPH (or 100km/h) time, estimated wheel horsepower, and trap speed. | Don’t try this on the street, kids. |
