Sprint announces on-phone MLB audio
Just in time for the playoff race to heat up, Sprint's inked a deal with Major League Baseball to provide every -- yes, every -- major league game via streaming audio to Vision and Power Vision-enabled handsets. What's more, each game will be available via both team's flagship stations in addition to a Spanish feed. Called "Gameday Audio," the service will run ya $5.99 and should be available this month. Now just throw in a little A2DP, maybe some Sirius for entertainment during the seventh-inning stretch, and you've got yourself a pretty wicked setup for baseball on the move.[Via PhysOrg.com]

$5.99 a month? A $1/game option would be nice...

There's an app for all Windows Mobile devices - Live Baseball Browser, currently unavailable from its website (www.ivan x.com/lbb/) for some reason, but easily downloaded elsewhere. It allows use of MLB's Gameday Audio stream, a subscription to which is $15/year - LBB is $20, which gives you until next June, I believe. Works great on my SDA via EDGE or WiFi.

yeah, LBB rules. I use it for mlb.tv on my ppc6700, which is sorta jerky (on either wifi or ev-do) but is still pretty damn cool.
