In between Washington's most well-known sports stars from past and present, there was one geek running around Benaroya Hall Friday night asking questions completely unrelated to the Sonics, Seahawks or Sounders.
I was lucky enough to attend the annual Sports Star of the Year in downtown Seattle and took the opportunity to find out what phones and apps our local sports figures favor.
Whether it was Super Bowl champion Lawyer Milloy explaining why he owns both the iPhone5 and Galaxy S3 or ESPN vet Kenny Mayne wishing we still had phones with cords, the answers were both funny and interesting.
Speaking of Mayne, the Kent, Wash. native, I had a hilarious conversation with him about his thoughts on technology, Twitter and cloud computing. We'll have another video and write-up of that interview in the next few days, so watch out for that.
Without further ado, here's the lowdown on the favorite smartphones and apps. You can play the video above to see the responses as well.
