The above picture may be the closest your iPad will ever get to New York’s historic Yankee Stadium. According to an AP report, iPads have been banned from entering Yankee Stadium. Apple’s device has been labeled as a “security and safety issue” in the stadium’s security policy which was originally intended to prohibit laptops and now includes iPads. Major League Baseball’s stance on the issue leaves it up to each individual team to make the decision.

MLB Advanced Media CEO Bob Bowman summed it up in an interview with Business Insider stating that the Yankees decided on the ban because they, “didn’t want fans to get hurt by [becoming] distracted and getting hit in the face with a ball.”

Banning the device because of a fear of theft is one thing but because it’s a distraction seems a bit over the top. What about the programs sold at a the ball park? And scorecards? How about peanuts and cracker jacks? Are these delicious distractions not safety issues too?

So if you’re looking to head to a game and you don’t want to end up like this guy, leave your iPad at home.

Today, unfortunately in the battle between man vs. beast, Steve Jobs vs. Eric Schmidt, iPhone vs. Android, we have found that the Droid is winning.  According to the NPD Consumer Market Research, the Android phone is outselling the iPhone by 7% in the first three months of 2010.  Apple, or rather Steve Jobs, is a prideful person and therefore had to respond to this  study.  Apple stated to The Loop:

This is a very limited report on 150,000 US consumers responding to an online survey and does not account for the more than 85 million iPhone and iPod touch customers worldwide,” Apple spokesperson Natalie Harrison, told The Loop. “IDC figures show that iPhone has 16.1 percent of the smartphone market and growing, far outselling Android on a worldwide basis. We had a record quarter with iPhone sales growing by 131 percent and with our new iPhone OS 4.0 software coming this summer, we see no signs of the competition catching up anytime soon.

You heard Apple, “we see no signs of the competition catching up anytime soon.”  However, according to this Smartphone operating system unit share trend, the Blackberry and the Android are leading the sales in Smartphone operating systems.

While Eric Schmidt and Steve Jobs battle their egos, is Schmidt having the last laugh? or will the iPhone OS 4.0 blow the Android out of the water?
