Billy, you seriously might want to contact the NFHS before spending the money that a data plan would cost you even if you got a "free" smart phone.

I am seriously considering that.

I would also recommend that, unless you have other uses for a smart phone, you take a look at an iPod Touch. They require a WiFi connection to get to the Internet (no 3G/4G), but the NFHS app does not require Internet to use it after it is installed on the iPod.

I'm just cheap and refuse to pay $30/month for data where practically everywhere I go has free WiFi.

That all might be true, but if someone is only concerned with their access to the rules in a specific way, those days appear to be over. You have to adjust because it is clear the NF is not going back to PDF format unless they get some revenue stream jump anytime soon like the NCAA gets. I do not even use my smart phone for any rules review, I bought a tablet for that type of purpose.

Peace

I smell a conspiracy...

Being the proud owner of an iphone and ipad, I just checked the app store and found NFHS Rulebooks available for purchase for $5.99 each...for every sport EXCEPT basketball. Anybody know what the deal is there?

They probably are about to release the 2012-2013 rulebook and don't want people upset because they purchased the 2011-2012 rulebook.

If you dig on the NF website, the basketball rulebook for the IPad/IPhone will not be available until early November. I think the Android version will be available earlier. Do not ask me why, just what I read.

Peace

Maybe the next version of Windows will allow android apps to work on a PC.
