Yesterday we received an email from a FrameChannel user. They had purchased an iPad on April 3rd and knew of the FrameChannel service as a result of their Roku player. This user wrote:
“Thank you FrameChannel! While the family watches television, I’m able to use my iPad as a virtual scoreboard to keep track of my beloved Yankees. My wife renamed my iPad to the Yankees Photo Frame.”
Our only problem, being from Boston, we hate the Yankees, but we do appreciate the kind note. Follow one of your teams on the iPad while it’s in the dock. But it you are a fan of the:
Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, Baltimore Orioles, Minnesota Twins, Chicago White Sox, Kansas City Royals, Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Indians, Oakland Athletics, Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Angels,
Seattle Mariners, Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, Florida Marlins, Washington Mariners, Pittsburgh Pirates, St. Louis Cardinals, Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, Houston Astros, San Francisco Giants, Arizona Diamondbacks, San Diego Padres, Colorado Rockies, Los Angeles Dodgers
Then we are sorry … for this is the year of the Boston Red Sox. GO SOX.
