Let’s face it; one of the few compelling reasons for many of us to get a subscription to Sports Illustrated is the swimsuit edition. You can say you get it for the articles alone, but the rest of us know your real reasons.

SI has announced a new iPhone app that puts the hotness of the swimsuit edition on your iPhone. The Si Swimsuit 2009 is the app and SI is calling is the “world’s sexiest app” with hundreds of photos. In addition to the photos of swimsuit models, the app offers scores and team information.

The app sells for $2.99 and features video and photos of all 20 models from the 2009 SI Swimsuit franchise. Users can also create a custom sports calendar to follow their favorite sports teams from pro or college venues.
