Smart Phones, Tablets Changing Way People Get Sports Content

That should not be surprising. Sports news is a prime example of a "real time" application with high value to some consumers. 

Of these 12.3 million people, 3.6 million of them accessed sports content on their phones nearly every day, up 41 percent from just a year ago, according to comScore.

Tablet owners were also slightly more likely to access sports content on a daily basis, with 17.3 percent of tablet users doing so compared to 14.1 percent of smartphone owners.
