If you're a NASCAR fan, check out this stunning piece of equipment from Nextel and Sprint. An audio/video data scanner called the FanView, it will make sure you don't miss one single moment of racing magic—all over the 2.5 GHz wireless spectrum.
Gives you the race telecast, radio broadcast, up to seven in-car camera channels, direct audio feeds from pit and driver, audio replay and a live feed from the official timing and scoring system. Though not for sale, you 'll be able to rent FanView at the race, starting at $50 a day or $70 for the weekend. And remember folks, Nascar revs up on February 19th, so start your engines.

Cool. Now we can get those insightful pit/driver conversations. PIT: left turn ahead. DRIVER: turning left. PIT: left turn ahead. DRIVER: turning left. PIT: left turn ahead. DRIVER: turning left. PIT: left turn ahead. DRIVER: turning left. DRIVER: I'm coming in for a pitstop. Have my nachos and Big Gulp ready. How's my mullet look on that new Nextel thingy? PIT: Your lookin' good, man. Lookin' real good.

YEEEEEEEEEHAW!
$50 dollars a day? Talk about a product without a market! On second thought, maybe there is a non-zero percentage of the (from a quick google) "more than 75 million fans" which would be willing. From my cynical marketing side, I'd predict that a battery powered 6" color TV with NASCAR and "Larry the Cable Guy" brandishings would out earn this one.
