mREPLAY allows for mobile replay at an event

As Sean points out: Fellow SIMS student Patrick Riley and crew are developing a mobile application called mREPLAY that will be tested this Spring. It essentially allows you to see replays of sporting events on a mobile phone while you're in the bleachers.

While I don't watch a lot of sports, when I do and especially when I watch it live, I like to watch soccer. I can imagine this would be much cooler than craning our necks to see the lame-o jumbotron TV monitors. Also, I would like to think that this could be extended to other live events like concerts and circuses and so on. I would understand if copyright issues of the public performance variety made the latter difficult.
