Message: [QUOTE="WickedOrange, post: 642412, member: 915"] That was my 30 second thought. Let me give you a more compelling example of how I think google can enrich [B]my[/B] sports viewing. Google opens up their fiber tv platform to third party developers through APIs. Under Armour hires an agency (or an indy app developer builds it) to create an "instant analysis" app. The app is installed on a mobile device and the google TV platform. Say I'm a big Alabama fan, but live in Austin and watch most of the games from home. Alabama has a SUTomcat like fan. A fan that can provide incredible insights during the game. But with traditional cable he has to post on a message board or hammer out his insights on twitter during the game... not fun. But if AlabamaTomcat has a mobile device, he could open the instant analysis app press one big button. The app would begin to record sound and video when pressed. AlabamaTomcat rips 20-30 seconds of insightful points about what is happening through out the game. Each time he presses stop. The video is automatically uploaded to a server and transmitted to my google fiber platform television. Once I reeve a video, a small picture in picture starts to automatically play (or I manually start it depending on my preference settings) the main picture volume goes silent and the AlabamaTomcat picture in picture plays with his on location, 20-30 sec insights. At the end of the pic-in-pic video, the pic in pic disappears and sound returns to the main screen. That would be sweet and is very very feasible. Now this app could be sponsored by under armor with a quick "under armor presents" at the start or it could be a service I pay say 50 cents for a game, with the app developer keeping half and AlabamaTomcat keeping the other. Everybody wins. [url]http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2012/09/alabama_upgrades_its_wireless.html[/url] Yes I have a man crush AlabamaTomcat. Disclaimer I'm assuming AlabamaTomcat does not have a face for radio like yours truly. [/QUOTE]
