Be a litle wary of GetSportz. I installed it earlier today on my AT&T Treo 680 with hope for what looks like a great program, but it sent my phone crashing into a continuous reset loop. I spent the rest of the morning doing a hard reset and full restore (thanks Resco!)after deleteing the offending GetSportz-Installer.prc file. I then tried installing it and running it off of my SD card, but the same thing happened. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
