Device Profile: Kangaroo TV IVT-200
You don't think of NASCAR fans as Linux users, so much, but a new wireless handheld device available for rent at select races makes them just that. The NASCAR FanView devices rented out by Sprint at Nextel Cup races are based on Kangaroo TV's IVT-200, an interactive multimedia transceiver based on Linux and Qtopia.
The Kangaroo TV IVT-200 comes in a pouch meant to be hung around the user's neck (hence the "Kangaroo" name). It reportedly rents for about $35 per day at NASCAR races.
Spectators at other live sporting events may also become Linux users, given that Kangaroo TV says its device can support football, professional golfing, baseball, and other sports.
