ESPN Radio app gets a refresh, now properly outfitted for the iPad
If you're needing to keep Mike & Mike an arm's length away at all times, ESPN has refreshed its Radio app to help with just that. Now optimized to the iPad in addition to the iPhone and iPod touch, the software allows you to sort your listening habits by sports, teams and athletes that you follow. The free version offers access to podcasts, the 20-minute SportCenter cycle, and offline listening for on-demand content. Currently, the premium version of the app is free as well -- touting custom stations / playlists, live audio pause / rewind, myESPN personalization, alerts / push notifications and a few more gems to keep you well informed on the latest Red Sox debacle. After a "limited time," though, you'll have to shell out $4.99 for the premium app and its 35 ESPN radio stations. What about Android and WP7 devices, you ask? The folks in Bristol claim that apps for those platforms will arrive later this summer.
ESPN app crashing for some Xbox 360 users [update]
If the above image looks familiar, then you're having the same problem I am. Ever since that last update for the ESPN app on Xbox 360, I've been unable to access it. Attempting to boot up the app from the Dashboard has produced the above screen every time. Hitting any button then sends me back to the Dashboard. Curious as to what was going on, we contacted Microsoft -- though we have yet to hear back. So we're going to do some lazy research, which basically means we're gonna toss a poll up. Have you encountered this same problem? Hit the jump and weigh in! Update: Service is back up and running for most people, according to a Microsoft associate, who said, "ESPN on Xbox LIVE is up and running for the vast majority of our users. We're actively working to resolve a technical issue that is impacting service for a fraction of our user base."
