The pricing is a little high but they\’re clearly experimenting and no doubt it will come down in time. Hopefully the Mavs and other teams can accelerate that trend.

GO MAVS! I think it\’d be great to have options such as instant replay available to anyone with an iTouch (or similar device) in the AAC. It\’s the best of both: You\’re at the game, and you get the replays, interviews, et cetera, that you would see at home. I know this is the Mavs blog, but I\’m more of a Stars fan…it\’s all big D, it\’s all good. Point being, maybe this could be up and running by October, for the start of the NHL season? That would be just great. I\’d even go to a Mavs game if you could make that happen. GO MAVS! GO STARS!!!!!1!!1!

Not just that you\’ve become a Mac Fanboy, but that you\’ve started investigating the possibility of an idea I thought of just a few weeks ago.

I live in the D.C. area and was at a Wizards vs. Knicks game. I brought my iPod Touch because I thought that perhaps there would be a wireless network I could access in the Verizon Center and could pull up stats on ESPN.com or other sports sites of the game that aren\’t currently available to the fans at the game. Unfortunately the only available wireless networks were for Press only… I had to enjoy the game without the extra technology.

It would be great to be able to access additional stats, see shot charts, and even order food and drinks (That could be delivered to me at my seat) all from my iPod Touch, iPhone, or other wireless devices. I\’d even pay more just for the service (maybe develop an app with the new iPhone SDK that streamlines this process).

I tried out Iphone and since it has completely changed the way I look at the Apple brand and products. The user friendly interface and being able to store lots of music has definitely sold me.

In short the Apple products are lacking in features and very expensive in comparison.

I learned this after one of the Apple fanboys at work mentioned they did a product comparison and ended up getting a Zune instead of an their 3rd iPod.

I found the Archos 3 years ago thanks to tech genius Kevin Kelly (kk.org) and today instead of a 32GB iTouch ($499) you can get a 160GB Archos ($379) that has more functionality and even doubles as a DVR, can stream media to and from other devices (WiFi), and supports media formats that are universally compatible. The only thing the Archos doesn\’t do is connect to a cell phone network.

I have a T-Mobile wing that is pretty solid. But, the Xperia is what I have my eyes on, it looks like it has the goodness of an IPhone, but still gives you a full qwerty keyboard.
Check it out XPERIA

Hmmmmm, the nondescript PC being a quarter the price of an iMac (no monitor in there thoough), was a major factor in the argument……

Nice stuff, but their prices need work.
