iPod aids major league

Apple's video iPod has seen widespread adoption across the U.S., and now the portable player appears to have made its way into the major league. The Colorado Rockies has adopted the video iPod as a means for players to review plays and cram information before games. "It's a good way to refresh yourself on how you got guys out," said pitcher Jason Jennings. "It's an amazing concept." Teams from Florida and Seattle have called the Rockies to investigate their innovative use of Apple's portable player, according to a report from CNN.com. "It wasn't like we invented the wheel," Rockies assistant video coordinator Brian Jones said, who developed the concept following the video iPod's release. "We're using Apple's technology as best we can. We figured if you can watch music videos by rock 'n' roll and by country, why can't you watch at-bats by San Francisco and pitches by Jason Schmidt?"
