Football fanatics! You know what’s on next weekend- Super Bowl XLVI (that’s 46 for you non-roman numeral reading folk)! By now, you should have made your plans already. Hopefully you’ve made friends with the guy at work with the 65 inch TV at home. Or maybe you’re the one with a big TV who is suddenly popular. It’s a day jam-packed with tailgate parties, unhealthy food eating, crazy commercials and an entertaining half time show. Okay, there’s a hopefully amazing football game in there, as well. Before you plaster on the face paint, set up your BlackBerry smartphone and PlayBook for game day. Regardless if you’re rooting for the New England Patriots or New York Giants, we’ve got you covered. After the jump you can get into the game with quick access to apps, themes and wallpapers.

ScoreMobile apps

Like Pro Football Insider, ScoreMobile is available for both smartphones and the PlayBook. This app is by far my favourite one to use. I know this is an article about the Superbowl, but this app covers (in-depth mind you) multiple sports and leagues from around the world. At your finger (or thumb) tips, you have box score, stats, betting odds, previews, recaps, standings news and of course scores. On the BlackBerry smartphone side, you can benefit from BBM integration, push notification (by team or specific games). On the PlayBook side, ScoreMobile fancies itself as a viewing companion, as you can enjoy twitter streams and interactive live blogs.

With all that said and done, it’s time to sit back and enjoy the game. Wait, it’s not until next Sunday is it? That explains why no one else is here at my friend’s house…and why the door was locked…and the alarm is going off...
