Streaming NBA Games Available For iPhone, Android Phones

Apple iPhone and Google Android phone owners can now watch live NBA games

The National Basketball Association is now offering mobile phone owners the ability to watch entire live games for $40 per year.

Just a few games into the 2009-2010 NBA season, this is the first time entire games are available for streaming -- only game highlights were previously available through an official service.

There are now three methods to watch complete games in the NBA: via TV, PC, or now using a mobile phone. Initial estimates report 59M mobile phone owners have the ability to watch streaming NBA games using their mobile phones.

The coverage is available through AT&T and T-Mobile, with Verizon Wireless beginning service on November 6. Apple iPhone and Google Android phone owners have access to the streaming feature now, but RIM BlackBerry owners are expected to have streaming NBA coverage at some point in the near future.

Mobile subscribers can watch 40 live games each week while accessing game statistics and game replays. In addition, it's possible to record 30-second video clips that can be watched up to 48 hours after the game ends.

Would you pay $9.99 a month for AT&T's GPS service iPhone App?

AT&T sent out a message yesterday to its subscribers touting its new voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation service, operated by TeleNav.

For "just $9.99 a month," the message said, subscribers can "get there faster, safer and without any hassles."

Turns out the monthly fee is a hassle to some. True, AT&T is simply the conduit for the underlying service from TeleNav in Sunnyvale, Calif. But the carrier still is getting some grief from consumers. One reviewer at ComputerWorld argued that the "free" iPhone app was a "Trojan horse into your wallet." (It's free to install but costs $9.99 a month to use.)

The broader question is whether consumers, who have grown used to free or very inexpensive apps that do a dizzying array of high-tech tasks, will still go for a subscription model. For AT&T and TeleNav, their competitors are TomTom, which showed off its turn-by-turn app last month at the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference but has yet to announce a pricing structure, and Google Maps, which provides directions for free but doesn't have some of the bells and whistles of TeleNav. There are also the traditional GPS devices, which cost as little as $99.99, no monthly fee required.

Tell us where you would turn for directions. Would you pay 10 bucks a month for a service on your iPhone? Or would a frills-free Google Maps app work just as well?

New iPhone App: Bands streaming theirs songs directly to you

If you're a Presidents of the United States of America fan, you can now listen to the band's entire discography for a mere $3, but not through the iTunes Store. Fire up your iPhone and grab it from the App Store instead; the band has bypassed the record label bureaucracy and released everything on its own.

What's a good way to release your entire back catalog of music to a large audience without having to deal with the bureaucratic red tape of the record labels and the iTunes Store? Release it yourself through the App Store, of course. The album-as-an-iPhone-app method has been experimented with by some bands already, but the Presidents of the United States of America (yes, the guys behind the "Peaches" song) have gone all out, selling its entire discography through the App Store in hopes of engaging fans in ways they couldn't through the iTunes Store alone.

The app, called "The Presidents' Music - PUSA," sells for $2.99 on the App Store (iTunes link) offers users access to four full albums, including the band's early "lost" recordings. This includes the previously-unavailable FroggyStyle—"unless you have one of the 500 cassettes the band sold in 1994, you've never heard this before," reads the app description. The app also features a number of extras and exclusives that the band says are updated regularly, and fans can read the band's blog directly from the app on their iPhones or iPod touches.

Apple Promotes All-Time Top iPhone Apps

Apple has posted the top-20 paid and free iPhone apps that netted the most downloads since the App Store's launch in July.

The list includes games, social networking tools, everyday utilities (e.g. weather and movie listings), novelty apps and musical instruments.

A combination of luck and clever marketing enabled developers to climb to the top. Among the top free apps is Tap Tap Revenge, a rhythm game that has singlehandedly created a new distribution channel for music, enabling artists to promote their tunes and gain exposure.

Another game, iShoot, sits on the list of top paid apps. The game earned its developer Ethan Nicholas $600,000 in a single month. Recently, Nicholas told Wired.com he has surpassed the $800,000 mark. To boost sales, Nicholas developed a free version of the game — iShoot Lite — and used it to promote the paid version. The strategy worked: In January, users downloaded the free version 2.4 million times, which led 320,000 satisfied iShoot Lite players to pay for iShoot.

Top 20 paid and free iPhone apps by Apple

Apple has posted the top twenty paid-for and free iPhone apps on iTunes, based on the number of downloads from the App Store since the phone launched in July last year.

If you've owned an iPhone for some time, the chance is that you will already have downloaded most of the free apps on the list. Though if you've recently acquired Apple's ultimate gizmo you might want to check through the list to see if there's anything vital you've missed.

If you have still to experience the Guitar Hero-a-like rhythm game Tap Tap Revenge, for example, then TechRadar urges you to give it a tap.

Fast growing business

"With the amount of downloads they've had since the App Store launched last July, it must be one of the fastest rising businesses since the launch of the internet," claimed David Rowan, editor of Wired UK magazine in the Guardian.

"What's good about the App Store is that there's quite a low barrier to entry, so many of these programmers actually have day jobs and are just working on these apps in their spare time."
