iHub - Sports - NFL & MLB - Submitted - FINALLY

Well... talk about a crazy 6 months. Late September, we needed to withdraw our iHubSports football application to rework some issues and then things went absolutely nuts. Each team member had significant life events (an iHubBaby is coming soon !!) and lucrative new contracts to complete which put a damper on our iPhone development efforts. Good news is that we're back and its time to

PLAY BALL !!

We polished our NFL football iHub and we completed our MLB baseball iHub content aggregator just in time for SPRING TRAINING !!

We included a couple neat features not previously available in prior iHub applications including keywords in the channel descriptions providing a granular "tag" for the channel - as whether the channel is dedicated to a single team or league-wide news. A cool one-button Twitter one-button capability will tweet the currently viewed article to your Twitter account.
















We also put out a new website - www.ihublife.com - describing all of our offerings & content services (look out for new mobile platforms, PC applications & web services). Resources were applied to provide a more stable content platform from which to deliver our channel feeds and our composite headline feeds - a result of some hiccups we had regarding the technology feeds and our ISP.... lessons learned.

iHubSportsNFL - Submitted - NFL Football Time !!!

I love the Fall season especially in the Northeast. Weather changes , wonderful cool breezes, leaves change color and most importantly

FALL = FOOTBALL

WHEW!! -- Busy summer, we released several updates to our current iHubTech & iHubHealth products but we're a little late on this one - the initial offering from our iHubSports line - iHubSportsNFL. We've just submitted over the weekend and we should be approved no later than week 4 of the season. No better way to keep up to date with all the breaking news & blogs from across all the NFL !!


We decided to organize the subtopics by NFL divisions and we added a new keyword label to each article listing - to help the user determine if the feed is relevant to their favorite team and/or division.


We've added a couple of new features to the line. First feature is a One-Click access to the NFL scoreboard (by tapping the logo on the News and/or Blogs screen). Instead of implementing a custom scoreboard capability which may experience a lag time - we decided to implement this by simply loading up the ESPN mobile NFL scoreboard - specifically formatted for the iPhone with a single click of the logo.

We've also added a Twitter client capability - allowing the user to Tweet the current article to his/her Twitter account.
