Earlier this month, Viigo pushed out NCAA and NBA scores and gametimes to their free Windows Mobile and BlackBerry application, and now they’re following up with a few key changes to all sports channels, ranging from golf to NASCAR, to baseball to hockey. First is the ability to schedule to calendar for those games you just can’t miss. Just find your game and the option should pop up in your menu. The other is previews, recaps and associated news feeds so you can go past the numbers and get the real meat and potatoes of your favourite sports. Score display has also been changed so that live scores are separated from final scores, so you can clearly see how in-progress matches are unfolding. Finally, further division and conference level categories will help you find your team more quickly.

The best part is you don’t even have to upgrade, just hit up the Sports channel and subscribe to the sports you want. Wait, what? You don’t have Viigo? Trust me, it’s worth the download – RSS feeds, weather, local interests, stocks and finance, flight information, and lots more, all for free. C’mon, give it a shot.

    Umm…. I just downloaded this for my Touch running WM6.1 and it doesn’t look like your screenshots above. In fact, I can’t figure out how to get that popup menu to add a game to my calendar. All I get at the bottom of the screen is Back and Menu.

    the version that I downloaded is 3.0.27

    What version are you running?
