Prep for the New iPhone App Store: MLB

I wrote a few weeks ago that MLB's application for the iPhone and iPod Touch via Apple's new iTunes "app store" would be a ground-breaking killer in sports media. Valleywag (sort of) agrees, putting it in its ten must-have iPhone apps. Store launches tomorrow. Kudos, MLB. -- D.S.

(UPDATE: You can get into the App Store now, with iTunes v. 7.7. It's $4.99 for the rest of the season. And now I face the reality that I have neither the iPhone nor iPod Touch. Hey, MLB: I'm SO open to reviewing your product if you'll just ship me a new iPod Touch loaded with the new MLB app! Call me, Bob Bowman!)

The App Store is actually open today, you can purchase Apps through the new version of iTunes (7.7).

okay i picked up the mlb app and it is fantastic on my first impression. the video is really good; it doesn't have stats in the app but it has an link to the box score online so that works out

really the dollar price for half a season was well worth it

following the cubs on it at the moment
