You have to see this - March Madness App

March Madness is about to begin and those with an iPhone or an iPad are going to want to check this new app out. It's a free app called "NCAA March Madness on Demand".

You can watch every game of the 2011 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament live on your iPhone or iPad. This great app is loaded with lots of bells and whistles. You can set up score alerts for your favorite teams, you can follow your bracket and see how you are doing. Check out the latest scores and schedules. And of course you can connect into Facebook and Twitter.

This past Sunday night I was able to watch the selection live on the screen and it worked out great. I'm very excited to try it out this week and next week when I'm on vacation.

Would love to hear what you think of it. Let me know.

Technology hits ordinary things

When you think of all the impact that the iPhone has had it is mind blowing. How the smart phone momentum has changed the way many of us live our lives professionally and personally.

I received a gift this Christmas that I never would have thought about for a smart phone user who has a touch screen key pad.

Here in the Upper Midwest it can get kind of chilly in the winter and to use my iPhone I have to take off my gloves. My wife has seen me do this many times. Having a great eye for details like that she got me some new 180s TecTouch gloves.

They have a couple of little metal pads on each thumb and forefinger of the glove. They are actually called "conductive fabric pods" and allow you to easily operate an iPhone without taking off your gloves. That's innovation for a pretty staid category.

Is this something that you would buy? I'll let you know how they work for me.
