NFL iPhone App Not Happening, Says The NFL
Silicon Alley Insider —
... for $5 each, MLB made almost $500,000 after Apple's 30% cut. An impressive amount for a first shot at a new mobile platform. But not quite $50 million a year.
The NFL offers an ad-supported mobile Web site that iPhones can access, which includes scores, news, and photo galleries. And there's plenty of sports apps for the iPhone with football info. But nothing quite like MLB's iPhone app.
Meanwhile, MLB has released a free version of its app for the offseason. You can download it here.

Beyond YouTube: 10 Top iPhone Video Apps
Mashable! —
Since its debut in 2007, iPhone owners have been capable of consuming video in two ways: via iPod software as well as a YouTube application. And these options presumably remain the exclusive utilities employed for viewing clips.
But they are other methods available now. The launch of the App Store this summer enticed a number of third-party developers to make use of the iPhone’s video playback capabilities.

The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) —
Filed under: Software, iPhone, App Store, iPod touchMy all-time favorite iPhone app, MLB's At Bat [App Store link], is all new for the 2009 baseball season.

What fizzles: My one gripe is that it gives game times in Eastern only. The app should be able to adjust to your local time by tapping either the internal clock or GPS.
Bottom line: Lots of good news for baseball fans. It's a solid base hit.
