I doubt that I (personally) will write such an app but I might design one. (Let's leave that for another thread.)

If you make a app, I will download it

I agree with you. My marketing geniuses do not understand that a horse racing app will not sell 10,000,000 copies. It will sell about 200. Or less. Even at $0.99.

put HSH on a Amazon server and let people get to it over the web or via app, just charge a monthly access fee. Let the servers do the number crunching.

Your life would be a lot easier without supporting a user installed Windows program I'd guess...

I got no problem with that

I'd agree with Dave and say the market is close to non-existent for iPhone apps for (real world) racing, though I will say that the racing games market could be a nice little earner.

It's very, very hard to make money anymore just developing mobile apps - it's like the movie business; an occasional hit, with many failures. The subscription model would help but you are entering a full time deal then I think.

I've seen players at the track use ADW apps for betting. I haven't really found any other scenario when players feel like they need mobility over a computing power (as your poll a few weeks ago showed).

I'm considering building a dedicated native app for thorobase, but it already works well enough on the mobile Safari browser (save for those YouTube videos that aren't h.264) so it's a low priority.

There already is a pretty decent horse racing game app

I have an iPod Touch and like the Equibase and BC apps. If Verizon gets the iphone I will probably get one. I hope there are more racing apps available soon.

Would people be interested in a race recap type podcast featuring staes races or races bundled by category like "3yo allowances" or day by day replays from tracks?

Android here.

Use equibase app and twinspires via full internet browser.
