Cowbell2010 iPhone app

In case you need to “supercharge” your Winter Olympic Games experience, a new iPhone app could help you out, or at least that’s what the official press release says. The application is called Cowbell2010 and it enables fans to “cheer on the athletes by ringing a virtual cowbell” so that athletes know they’re being supported. In other words, Cowbell2010 turns your beloved device into a flag-emblazoned clanging cowbell, which is plain weird, to say the list. In addition there are some other (I would say) more useful features such as:

  • Real-time medal tally by country
  • Twitter feed that follows hundreds of Olympian tweets
  • Complete event schedule adjusted to your time zone
  • Favorites folder to manage your Games-watching schedule
  • Live Wall to share photos and texts with friends on Facebook and Twitter as well as other Cowbell2010

If all this excited you at least a bit, hop over to this page (iTunes) where you will be asked to drop a buck for download. ;)

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
