These aren’t your father’s Olympics anymore.

For one thing, if you miss any of this year’s Winter Olympics action, chances are you can find what you’re looking for by going to NBC’s Olympics website and watching live and recorded footage, some in high-def, right on your computer (or feed it to a TV or projection display).

Of course, finding videos and information in this current generation of Olympics coverage is easier than ever. That includes applications to help you follow things on your mobile devices.

With the iPhone and iPod touch chief among those (we’re sure the video portion will be even stronger when the 2012 Summer Games hit the iPad) we’ve rounded up 9 Applications for the Olympics to keep you up to date on all the activity from the Vancouver Games, all for about the cost of a cup of coffee.
