OT- Kinetic Balls iPhone App
If any of you have an iPhone check out this App called 'Kinetic Balls'. Its from Motion 9 Studios and its free. When you run it there is the kinetic ball physics toy. In the bottom left corner there is a question mark icon that changes the skin. The 4th skin consists of three footballs and two generic looking football helmets. However the stadium background is definitely Michigan Stadium. Let me know what yall think.

You're right... it looks pretty darn similar.
On a similar note.. i downloaded the SI swimsuit calendar app a while back (09)... and when I went to select Michigan Football and Michigan Basketball teams as my favorites, I could not find Michigan in the Big Ten Conference...Can you believe that? I don't know if they've come out with a more recent version, but that HAD to be deliberate. I mean...Northwestern, but not Michigan...really?

But there are some minor details which are different, and I guess would protect them if UM came after them.
You can view what I assume is the screen image here:

It sure looks like Michigan Stadium, but even with that, I don't think this App is worth the space.

Our space is too valuable for silly apps. Ha this is so us. +1!

It's not Michigan Stadium. Michigan doesn't do night games or have a suite retro looking press box. Duh!

I agree with spumich. Why did you even download this app in the first place? It looks similar to Michigan Stadium, but the actual app is terrible.

It's definitely the Big House, down to the brick and castiron logos on
the sideline.
There's also the temporary lights on the scaffolding. And if you look close you can even see the yellow lettering on the old press box.
I don't care how much the app might suck, you best believe I gave it 5 stars.

I only dow loaded the app because it was in the top 25 free app list. Now I am keeping it because I'm trying to decide if it really is Michigan Stadium. I might contact one of the developers and ask.
