Mobile App for NASCAR Nation

Here's a great mobile app from Nextel that I think will actually drive (no pun intended) handset sales: NASCAR PitCommand:

PitCommand, a wireless Java(R) application that delivers real-time race data in an exciting, full-color, visual display. PitCommand is available as part of NASCAR.COM TO GO, which packages NASCAR.COM's exclusive content in an easy-to-use service available on Nextel phones. PitCommand creates a single view of all the critical race elements - including speed, RPM, throttle/brake indicators, lap counts and more - the same live information that crew chiefs receive at their command stations, or "war wagons," at the pits.

It's exactly these kinds of apps that will make the general public start to look at their "phones" differently.

As an aside, I'm guessing that the intersection of people interested in the i736 NASCAR Driver Series handets and those interested in the Russell Simmons Phat Farm II Signature i733 is probably zero.

I am just trying to figure out why Nextels are the only phones with Pitcommand and no other phones can use it
