The new Apple iPhone comes with features such as 3G speed, maps with GPS, and corporate email, but the best addition is served up by Major League Baseball. The iPhone 3G will be released July 11, and will give baseball fans data from every game and highlights moments after they happen.
That’s right. Minutes after Boston and Tampa Bay have a major fight on the field and everybody laughs it off as boys being boys, you’ll be able to watch the bruhaha on the iPhone.
Adam Ritter, Vice President of Major League Baseball Advanced Media, lays out what the new iPhone can do for baseball fans. (via MLB.com):
“It’s a good example of the popularity of baseball. MLB At Bat will constantly update all the data of each game. You not only get to see all the data, but a couple of minutes after that, you get to see the play that put your team ahead or that great defensive play.
It’s going to be very exciting as a fan. You’re going to get video and highlights in an application and see your favorite Major League players. You start with the quality of the content, and then consider the device itself, the screen resolution, the fact that it’s twice as fast and will connect on wi-fi — it just looks beautiful.”
Baseball highlights and a price of $199 (8GB) or $299 (16GB)? I’m sold. And with the prices that low, I won’t be pissed off when they drop by $100 a few months after release.
