By: Lawrence Ross, Verizon Oklahoma Technology Expert

Some of us can’t get enough of the fall season. The cooler weather, the autumn foliage, the nonstop football, and some of the year’s best holidays are headed our way. The changing of the seasons brings more than sweater weather, however.

Technology fans don’t have to wait for Christmas to rejoice; pick up these new apps and products that will help you get the most out of this fall.

Fall Means Football

For football fans, nothing feels better than heading out for the big game and coming away with a victory. Keeping up with your favorite teams has never been easier thanks to the Verizon NFL Mobile App. NFL Mobile provides fans with live video of games being played on the NFL Network, streamed to their Smartphone or tablet.

Verizon offers exclusive live access to all Thursday, Sunday and Monday NFL football game coverage for subscribers to their More Everything plan. The Game Center feature gives a comprehensive breakdown of every game and lets you check stats on every player. Whether you’re an avid fantasy football GM looking for real-time updates, or the pro football fanatic that needs to catch the local game on NFL RedZone, this app will help you get the most out of football season.

Fall-idays

When fall rolls around, families come to visit, feasts are prepared, and fun and entertainment thrive. With all this excitement for fall celebrations, you can be prepared for any get-together with the Samsung Xperia Z2 Tablet. With a 10.1-inch full HD display and two surround-sound speakers, the Xperia is great for keeping the kids entertained while you’re at the big-kid table. It can even withstand those spills and tumbles with its waterproof surface and scratch-resistant, tempered glass. The Xperia is also perfect for use around the kitchen when prepping the big meal. Look up recipes and tap into cooking apps to make sure every dash of salt is perfect.

Smart and Rugged

Fall lets us spend time outside enjoying the crisp, cool weather. When headed for the outdoors, it can be tough making sure your phone survives big drops, stays out of water and keeps away from dust and dirt. Look no further than the Kyocera Brigadier. The Brigadier sports the virtually scratchproof Sapphire Shield display, allowing it to endure those long falls during hikes or hard drops onto rocks. Its waterproof exterior means it can be submerged in up to 6 feet of water for 30 minutes. Doing some landscaping in the yard? No problem, the Brigadier works with gloves and recognizes touch commands even when covered in water. No matter what you’re jumping into, the Brigadier provides the durability needed to get the most out of your outdoor activities.

The season may already be upon us, but there’s still plenty of time to pick up the technology for making this a fall to remember. Whether you’re entertaining guests, sitting down for a football game or headed on an outdoor adventure, these apps and devices can help you fall even more in love with the fall season and all that goes with it!
