Comparing Apples to Oranges

Not all iPhone applications are created equal. We developed our iPhone application platform to maximize revenue generation through incremental ticket sales, application sales, sponsorship inventory, and premium in-application video/audio/game sales. Our live statistics for the 7 major sports augment the ticket purchasing in venue experience, and our games and chat provide "every fan" fun thus not limiting purchases to the super-fan-stat-nut. The CBS Interactive option is simply an additional portal to the website and paid all-access content. From a fans perspective it is useless without a $79+ all-access membership. It offers very little control for the team, and no ability for feature customization.
