“We will hand out the newest iPads to all the sumo stables to swiftly communicate what we need to,” association vice chairman Hiroyoshi Murayama said.

The sumo organization said it will give out iPads to Japan’s 51 “stables,” or the clubs the wrestlers belong to, with the goal of improving communication among the roly-poly grapplers after some in the past had missed information sent by fax or telephone.

The iPad tablet PC, which starts at 48,800 yen  and $570, in Japan is  likely to be chosen because a lot of stablemasters does not  use computers and wrestlers are not good at punching in messages on their mobile phones due to their enormous hands, Jiji news agency said.
