ny times: mlb to stream games on iphone ap
by Greg on Jun.17, 2009, under Science Life
MLB.com, which sells the popular At Bat application for the iPhone and iPod Touch, said it will add live feeds of some games for no additional charge, at least for now.
Owners of the $9.99 application will at first get to see two games each day, chosen by MLB.com. (The games are subject to local blackout restrictions—and your iPhone, remember, knows where you are.) Thursday’s 2:20 p.m. game between the Cubs and White Sox will be the first to be streamed live on the At Bat application; the Tigers-Cardinals game at 8:15 p.m. will follow.
I have been a loyal mlb product fan for a long time, starting with the audio cast and continuing to its amazing online video selection. Every year they improve, and every year they up the price. So i wouldn’t be surprised if “free of charge” does not last long. It’s the perfect sport for the instant nature of the iPhone.
