AvantGo and Audi has kicked off this year's College Hoops Channel, which is devoted to college basketball and March Madness in particular. The channel is part of AvantGo's free service that delivers personalized mobile websites to PDAs and smartphones.

In its third year, AvantGo said the PDA-based channel provides basketball fans with all the NCAA Men's Division 1 tournament action, supplying up-to-the-minute information directly to users' handheld devices. With content provided by Sporting News, AvantGo users will receive the latest scores, schedules and bracket information to stay on top of tournament action when they are away from their televisions and computers.

Track all of your office pool picks in the NCAA Final Four March Madness College Basketball Tournament with the 'March' Madness Tracker ($15) from Softworks. The application is available for Pocket PCs and Palm OS devices. With it, users can track up to 250 pool players or just track their own picks; edit brackets/team names; export pool player scores to a file; use text input only for player names; enter picks by simply tapping on team names and much more. Registered users may download 2004 teams on March 15th.
