MLB.com At Bat Lite now available in App Store
MLB.com At Bat Lite
is now Live in the App Store. If you purchased MLB.com last season or
grabbed the free offseason version of At Bat, the latest upgrade will
automatically convert the App to At Bat Lite.
Why the change? The original version of MLB.com At Bat was set to expire at the start of
2009 season. As a service to baseball fans who purchased the app in 2008, we
decided to extend it as a free scoreboard app rather than have it simply stop
working.
Additionally, the Lite version gives new users the chance to try out the full Gameday
experience during Spring Training and the World Baseball
Classic.
Once the Regular
Season starts, the Lite version will only provide access to the scoreboard view
and the new “Extras” content. To get the full Gameday experience including
real-time video highlights and our new Gameday Audio feature, users can purchase MLB.com At Bat 2009. It’s coming soon to the App Store.
As always, feel free
to leave questions and comments.
Hi,
Do you know if the Gameday Audio app will still be available for 2009 for older devices? Or, will gameday Audio still be available via wap.mlb.com?
Thanks.
Hi, thanks for the question. We will be supporting Gameday Audio on wap.mlb.com. Plans for the old application are not yet finalized. If you send us a customer service note using our web form, http://mlb.mlb.com/mobile/mobilecs.jsp, telling us your carrier and phone model, we can help you determine the best Gameday Audio solution. Thanks.
What is available for the BlackBerry Storm? I have the shortcuts, which are great, but would really like a more “multimedia” experience. Thanks.Russhttp://wight4256.mlblogs.com
Hi Russ,
The mobile team is working, as we speak, to make more multimedia content available to BlackBerry devices including the Storm, Bold and older Curves and Pearls in time for the start of the regular season. More information will be made available shortly. Thanks.
