Konami has announced the availability of Power Pros Touch on the App Store. iPhone and iPod touch users will now be able to “take the sights and sounds of the ballpark on-the-go as they swing for the fences in this exciting baseball experience.”
Power Pros Touch utilizes the innovative Multi-Touch user interface of iPhone and iPod touch to allow players to pitch, run and hit just like the pros. Gamers can experience the crowd noise, the fight songs and over 120 variations of play-by-play commentary as they customize their season, selecting anywhere from 25, 50 or 162 games. During gameplay, players can also choose from six unique baseball teams, play against the device and selecting three different difficulty settings including Novice, Normal and Expert. Additionally, baseball experts can chose to play three, six or nine innings per game to satisfy their baseball cravings. With rich and dynamic graphics the Power Pros Touch App provides sports fans with a unique baseball gaming experience that is available anytime, anywhere.
You can check out Power Pros Touch on the App Store, where it is currently doing the rounds for the princely sum of $3.99. Not being a baseball aficionado, I can’t really comment on whether it might float your boat – but Konami do have a good pedigree thus far with iPhone/iPod Touch conversions…

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
