MacVoices #24217: iPhones Invade Football (Soccer) in the UK

Charlotte Henry of The Addition joins us to explain how the iPhone will soon play a critical role in English football (soccer for those of us in the U.S.). Not only could that role affect the experience of those attending, but also of the game itself from a officiating perspective. All that from the same device that you carry in your pocket every day. Charlotte tells us why she is still amazed by the fact.  This edition of MacVoices is supported by MacVoices After Dark.
