NPB on the iPod Touch?

NPB on the iPod Touch?
I was looking (in expected vain) for an NPB / Hanshin Tigers iPhone app! Unfortunately I couldn't find one.

The best way I've found of keeping in touch with games is to add to the home screen a link to yahoo.co.jp's "yakyu" page, which shows scores when games are on.

Does anyone have any other experience with Japanese baseball on the iPod Touch/iPhone? Any recommendations?

Putting Yahoo!'s Pro Yakyu page on the home screen was my solution as well. I did the same with Asahi.com's Koshien coverage.

Writing an iPhone App is one of the things I want to learn in the near future. I'd like to have my Player Meikan more easily accessible from anywhere.

Hmmm. A live update app like on Yahoo!? That sounds like an interesting project. All it would take would be to create a proxy that translates and relays the information in a format that a more specialized iPhone app could use. I like the idea. Now all I need is some free time.

Haha, sounds great Michael. You make it and I'll buy it! Unfortunately my areas of expertise don't come anywhere near computer programming, so I'll have to look on from the sidelines on this one.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
