Are you a fan of the MLB, NFL, Olympics, NBA, NHL, NCAA, Tennis, PGA, or NASCAR? Good news for you… popular sports app ScoreMobile has been reworked to support tablets, including the Nexus 7. Rather than updating the regular app to work for both phones and tablets, Score Media Ventures Inc. decided to release a tablet-specific version cleverly titled ScoreMobile Tablet.

This version includes everything you liked about the original, retrofitted to a tablet’s screen, plus adds features for TV companion viewing, like play-by-play analysis, interactive Live Blogs and Twitter streams of key games. With the Olympics in full swing, ScoreMobile made sure to add coverage for the London games in addition to the myriad of other sports it already covers.

Nexus 7 sports fans, download the app below for free from the Play Store.

Last Night, in London, we saw Samsung’s Galaxy Note and Galaxy S III involved in the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Now Samsung, a global Olympic partner, has taken us behind the scenes, showing how Olympic staff members and Olympic performers have been using their Android phones. In addition to that, the Samsung Galaxy Note appeared in last nights show in Hyde Park. Olympic organizers, like Head of Ceremonies Martin Green, use the Note to manage day-to-day work preparing for the games.

With the opening ceremonies of the 2012 Olympic London games just minutes away, Samsung has been working hard in aiding their Android users to follow and enjoy the event. Samsung has launched the “London 2012 Predictor” app that makes predicting events and medal winners fun by being able to go up against your Facebook friends. Aside from challenging your friends, the app also allows you to follow every event live with the Olympic scheduler that’s included.

I love the idea of Samsung making the Olympic games more fun and sociable for people as it helps make you feel like you’re part of the event. This app is available for most devices that are running Android 2.2 and up. Oddly enough, my Samsung Galaxy Nexus is listed as “incompatible” when I try to install the app myself.

If this app is right up your alley, then you should also check out our coverage of the official London Olympics app! Hit the break for the download links.

Samsung Galaxy S III Acts As All-In-One Device At Holiday Inn For London Olympics

In case you didn’t know the future is now, Samsung is out to remind you of just that. In addition to having major influence for the Olympics, the Galaxy S III is now an official keycard at London’s Stratford Holiday Inn hotel during the Games. Samsung spearheaded a collaboration with the hotel to equip 40 rooms with a technology that allows the smartphone to do just about everything: check in and out, order room service, unlock doors and control the TV without moving. Quite impressive indeed.

Before you all try to hurry up and scramble to grab a room at that hotel’s location, keep in mind that the service will not be available to all– only VIPs for now. Of course you can try and convince one of those lucky individuals to allow to shack up with them so you can utilize the cool feature and technology— though we wouldn’t recommend it.

Samsung UK announced that customers who pre-ordered the S III at the Samsung store in London’s Westfield Stratford City will get their phone on May 29th. Now, invites are being sent out confirming this date. First sales will begin at 6pm for those who pre-ordered.

What’s even cooler, though, is that the first 50 Galaxy S III’s sold at this store will get free tickets to the London Olympic games. This promotion makes sense since the S III is the official phone of the Olympics, and other Samsung devices, such as the Galaxy Note and Galaxy Y, are coming out with “Olympic Editions“.
