<article> <section class="page"> <p>In early 2016, Apple struck a deal to put the iPad Pro in dugouts throughout Major League Baseball (http://www.macworld.com/article/3049903/software-sports/apple-is-giving-an-ipad-pro-to-every-team-in-major-league-baseball.html). Now, Apple wants to put the iPad on ice—no, not like that. TSN (http://www.tsn.ca/sources-nhl-close-to-finalizing-major-partnership-with-apple-1.626265), Canada’s version of ESPN, is reporting that Apple and the National Hockey League are in “late-stage negotiations” to bring the iPad to the league’s 30 teams—31 by 2017.</p><p>One aim behind the deal is to equalize the use of technology for each team. An unnamed source told TSN that currently, the more affluent teams have iPads for use in their facilities, while others don’t. The deal is “about having a consistent platform that every team can use in every rink,” the source said.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3148566/ios/apple-in-talks-with-the-nhl-to-put-the-ipad-at-center-ice.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Apple in talks with the NHL to put the iPad at center ice (http://www.macworld.com/article/3148566/ios/apple-in-talks-with-the-nhl-to-put-the-ipad-at-center-ice.html#tk.rss_all) |
