iPhone News Updated

Tracking the Action Wherever You Are

Tennis fans will have a few new ways to keep tabs on the action at the United States Open this year.

For iPhone users, the United States Tennis Association and IBM just released a new application that features live scoring updates, news alerts, video highlights, schedules, draws and more. For those not able to get to the grounds, you can even hook into a live stream of play-by-play coverage.

The application is available as a free download from the iTunes store.

Users of other Web-enabled phones will find much of the same content at the Open’s official mobile site.

Also new this year, the United States Open and ESPN will be streaming hundreds of hours of tennis online from all five show courts. Viewers will have access to have more than 150 matches, both live and on-demand. Video streaming begins Monday, and will continue through the majority of the event.

To download the interactive viewer, go to the Open site and click on the “Watch Live” button.
