Virtual Scorecard App

Baseball fanatics can now turn the iPad into a virtual scorecard. ESPN has released the iScore Baseball Scorekeeper app. The $9.99 program lets users track every pitch at the ball park, whether it's the big leagues or your kid's Little League game.

USA Today's Ed Baig thinks baseball fans will be impressed. "It really is a lot of fun and it's not as messy as using paper and pencil," Baig said. "But I wish it were a little cheaper, I wish a few of the wrinkles were ironed out so it was a little bit more intuitive in spots.

"But, overall, I think the guys at ESPN have hit, if not a home run, at least a double to deep-left center field."
