March Madness comes to the iPhone

by Mat Lu (RSS feed) on Mar 14th, 2009


The NCAA and CBS Sports have teamed up to stream the upcoming Men's College Basketball Championship tournament for free online at NCAA March Madness on Demand. You can watch the "high quality" videos online for free, but even more interesting is a nifty $4.99 iPhone / iPod touch app (iTunes link) which allows you to watch every game from the first round to the National Championship. Unfortunately, this will only work over WiFi and not 3G. Nonetheless, if you've a big college hoops fan this looks like a must-have app.

CBS Sports NCAA March Madness On Demand is $4.99 from the iTunes Store.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

First Look: StreetBall for iPhone/iPod touch, win a free copy

by Cory Bohon (RSS feed) on Feb 20th, 2009

Are you tired of being bored when you are on a long trip? Want to play some b-ball while you are stuck in a class? If you are inclined to do so, Streeball could help you out. A new game for the iPhone/iPod touch, Streetball [iTunes link] gives you a classic basketball game anywhere you happen to be.

You can choose between three different game types: Two on two, First to 21, and H.O.R.S.E. There is a tutorial mode that allows you to grasp the basic idea of the game. The game works by using the accelerometers to move left, right, to the back, or forward; when you are ready to pass or shoot, press the appropriate on-screen buttons. While you are playing a game, you can pause it by selecting the pause button in the top-left corner.

This game has great graphics that are cartoonish/comic book-like, which I tend to prefer for these types of games. You can adjust the background volume, and the computer difficulty. Also, you can adjust the tilt sensitivity of the accelerometer -- something I wish every game developer would implement.

You can check out Streetball for $3.99US or test your luck in our giveaway ... read on for details.

Office Pool 2007

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Mar 16th, 2007



I'm not a basketball fan, but I know that March Madness fever is sweeping the nation. Many folks are creating office pools for a little harmless wagering, and Office Pool 2007 makes it much easier to keep track of who is in, and how they are doing. It has a number of very cool features (FTP, a PHP based web wizard) though it lacks the polish that many Mac users are used to (though it is cross platform). A single user license costs $25 (if you use PayPal) while a company wide license costs $50.

Remember only bet cookies, since gambling is frowned upon here in the States.
