Super Bowl weekend is upon us, and this year, the big game is going to be streamed live online for the very first time. Who wants to see the game between the Giants and the Patriots on a tiny laptop screen, you might ask? Cord cutters and other folks without cable or even a TV set for one, but the live stream also comes with some extra perks that the TV broadcast won’t offer: Viewers will be able to select from different camera angles, pause the game and other fun stuff.

By Chris Oldroyd, Wednesday, Dec 21, 2011 | According to Electronista, the NFL has announced that this year will be the first year that the Super Bowl and the Pro Bowl will be streamed live across the internet. What’s more, iOS users will be able to view the games on their devices too. The NFL stream will be available to view on its own site and the NBC channel. If you want to view it on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you will need to pick up the Verizon NFL Mobile app. The app is free in the App Store but unfortunately it will only work for Verizon Wireless customers. The whole Super Bowl experience should be greatly enhanced next year with the promise of multiple camera angles, highlights and live stats, right in the palm of your hand. Read More

NBC confirmed that it will, for the first time ever, stream the Super Bowl online. Online viewers can watch the game from either NBC’s or the NFL’s website. NBC will also stream the game to Verizon mobile devices using the carrier’s NFL Mobile app for iOS or Android. Besides the Super Bowl, NBC will stream the Pro Bowl and wild card Saturday. Live footage of the game will appeal primarily to cord cutters who wouldn’t be able to watch the game in the comfort of their home. With an HDMI-capable laptop or smartphone, cord cutters (and other online watchers) can easily send that stream to their HDTV. They will also have access to additional camera angles, in-game highlights and live stats. In all the hoopla about the Superbowl stream, nobody has mentioned whether the popular Super Bowl ads are part of the stream. Let’s hope they’re included as it would be a shame to get all the action, but none of the fun. Kelly spent the last three years covering mobile technology at places like Read More
