MLB Gameday Mobile

[lennyjaxn]

The main reason I bought the Wing last year was so I could take advantage of MLB's Gameday Mobile deal and listen to baseball games at work. As far as I knew, all Windows Mobile phones had this capability. This year, however, it looks like they are doing a carrier-specific thing, with no decent phones on the list of supported devices. I am more than happy to ditch T-Mobile for another carrier if it means I can get the games, but I don't want to do it on a stinkin' RAZR or something else that doesn't do much else. Has anyone figured out a solution to this problem? I tried using Opera Mobile and hoping MLB would think I was a desktop PC trying to stream the games, but that didn't work. If anyone comes up with something, I would be eternally grateful.

I would guess that it's similar to the nfl network stuff for sprint.... although, you could always "stream" the games from your local radio station, if they allow it..

MLB is quite a bit more strict than NFL when it comes to streaming restrictions. I was able to stream football games through thestreamcenter.com but MLB enforces pretty thorough blackout restrictions so you can't capture a direct MMS stream or go through the Web site of the local station. They make you pay, which I did last year and am totally fine with doing, but not if it means giving up my beloved Wing for some crappy giveaway supported device on a supported carrier.

yeah, now that I think about it, I stream espn720 Los Angeles all the time, and they don't do Angel's games.

I just got a reply from MLB.com Mobile, saying that it will once again be available in time for the 2009 season. When it becomes available a link will appear on the mobile home page.

Huzzah!
