And his career percentage in the playoffs. And his percentage in the last 10 games. When O'Neal misses the second free throw and Kobe Bryant shoves Qyntel Woods out of the way to get the rebound, you can ask the handheld device to show an instant replay."<br /><br />Cool. Here is what interested me though. "Dubbed the StatCaster, this device will provide updated information to some fans at this weekend's Indy 500." I'll be there. Hmmm... how to get ahold of one of these things....<br /><br />Thanks to Brad Hailey for the link.

When you watch sports at home these days they have great info on the screen (much more so than just a couple years ago). Plus you can augment that by pulling up websites on your pc. It's to the point that you can get more into the even at home than you can when you're actually there.

This sounds great - but here's another idea.

I'd love to be able to bring my pocket pc with me to a sporting event. Perhaps they'd just have Wi-Fi available at the event. Somehow provide you with a way to download their software over the wireless.

Of course you can't fault them for wanting to make a couple extra bucks on the rentals.
