The 2012 London Olympics start July, 27th. There's no shortage of ways to follow the Olympics on your mobile phone. Here are my favorite sites offering schedules, predictions, results and news from the games.

The BBC's mobile Olympics page uses an adaptive mobile design to work across a wide range of mobile devices. It has an extensive collection of articles with a subsection for each Olympic Sport. The BBC's sports and Olympics coverage has traditionally been top-notch so this is should be a good choice especially for in depth coverage of niche sports.
