Rent A Tablet With The Los Angeles Angels

Take me out to the ball game, take me out with the crowd; buy me some peanuts and a tablet, I don’t care if I never get back. Let me root, root, root for T-Mobile, if they don’t win, it’s a shame; for it’s one, two, ten bucks, that’s all, to rent a tablet.  Wow, never again.  Seriously, though, T-mobile has partnered with the Los Angeles Angels to bring tablet rental to the Angels’ stadium.

Fans who rent either a T-Mobile G-Slate™ or Samsung Galaxy Tab™ for $10 get the following unprecedented value:

  • Free game-day program, optimized for viewing on the tablet — an instant $3 added value.
  • Free content from the Zinio magazine app, with the ability to read from a sampling of magazines during the game, including ESPN and many other popular magazines, drawing from Zinio’s library of more than 4,500 magazine titles.
  • Free T-Mobile TV (on the T-Mobile G-Slate only), providing content from popular TV shows. All regular free content, plus the “Select” package, regularly $4.99, is available as part of the game-day tablet rental.
  • Access to T-Mobile’s blazing-fast network, powering fast video chat sessions with friends and family at home, and blazing downloads of rich media content.

Sounds Interesting to me.  Any Angels fans going to take advantage of this offer?
