Just got a Playbook for my birthday two weeks ago, thrilled with it! I'm an NFL fanatic and watched the demo for the FF app on youtube, but where is it in App World???? FF season is just over a month away, draft time!
Look at the demo, it's much better then any site out there in my opinion. Always wanted to do an entire season with my buddies on our BBs, with trades over messenger going straight to the league etc. Drag and drop. All sorts of goodies.
I actually emailed the company that made the application for rim.
heres the email :

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your note. Blackberry asked us to create a demonstration application for the launch of the PlayBook and that's what Fantasy Football was -- just a demo app. We're hoping Blackberry will be willing to contract us to create the full production application soon as well! Send them a note!
Hope you're enjoying your PlayBook!

hi guys, your football fantasy app looks amazing for the blackberry playbook. one question tho where is it?? why haven't you made it public yet? i hope you continue to develop for the bb playbook
Still, it was a pretty nice demo and for an app that is an absolute no-brainer -- for any capable developer and for RIM. I know we have some real developer talent on this board -- does a cool demo have any relation to an actual app? Or is it just a video of what an app might look like? About the only thing I ever used Yahoo for was for Fantasy Football and that included a fairly nice Blackberry handheld app. I know some of the networks have their own apps, but none of them stood out as the killer app. I think part of the issue is that depending on who is hosting your league, you are likely to want that same outfit's app, so that there was no standard app. But I also had this sense that the networks were missing a great marketing tool. My son and his friends assemble in front of a HD Widescreen to watch NFL Redzone, which is a terrific channel that tracks every game as it happens, and there are always at least 3 or 4 laptops open and drawing data. This is something the Playbook was born to do!
If all the apps that were teased/faked to mislead people were actually released on the playbook, it would be an extremely useful device.
I'd like to say that I was surprised about this, but this isn't anything new. Just another application that was used to fool people into thinking it would be available for the playbook. Heck, they can't even fix the apps that come with the playbook (ie. Acrobat).
