I’m not a big sports fan of BBall, I’m more of Collage football type, but the Cal Bears are in the big dance this year and I did the office brackets, so what the heck.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>First step?\u00a0 Download an app for the iPhone of course.\u00a0 I did fail at step one though, I tried doing it at work in the SOMA area of San Francisco.\u00a0 Took 15 min to download the little free app from CBS<\/a>.\u00a0 #Fail.\u00a0 Ah well. Still, its done.\u00a0 There were many options, but the CBS apps seem to be the best if for no other reason then CBS sponsors the playoffs, so no shock they will have access to the best info and video.\u00a0 You can also stream audio and video on the paid app. $10.\u00a0 Not bad if you really into it.<\/p>\n

As for me, I got the free one, mostly to check my brackets and get the scores. (I did think the music at start up was cool.. at first, got tired of it pretty fast.\u00a0 I’m sure there is an option somewhere to stop it.)\u00a0 With exception to Cal, I don’t feel I need to watch it on my iphone.\u00a0 However, a friend has one and although its a bit jumpy on wifi, its useless with 3G…\u00a0 At least here in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

But the free one is pretty good.\u00a0 I was going to download a few to compare, but between real updates on my bracket, quick score refresh, news, and video highlights, I think I’m pretty set!\u00a0 I grabbed some screen shots from the CBS site, but I will update with a shot of my brackets in a few days.\u00a0 So far, eh… got 5 out of 7 right.<\/p>\n

Ok, so check these screenshots.<\/p>\n
