Not to be outdone by [The Worldwide Leader in Sports][3], Sky's just released its own application to keep [football][4] enthusiasts entertained while on the go -- at least [Premier League][5] fans using Android slabs. Unlike the ESPN app, however, [Sky Sports][6] is charging £5 (around $8) per month for its offering, though it will -- with the help of ESPN, no less -- stream over 100 EPL matches live, so you're not limited to only highlights and previews. That being said, Sky Sports TV also lets UK and Ireland folks watch other sporting events, including F1 races, PGA Golf and tennis events like the US Open. The bad news is the app currently doesn't support [Jelly Bean-loaded][7] devices, which, for now, will most likely only affect a [tiny section][8] of Mountain View's user base -- if that's not you, though, the link to download is down below.
