  Here are a few of the features!

  College Basketball Scoreboard gives you up to the minute college basketball scores, schedules and news stories for the following conferences: ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Conference USA, Mountain West, Pac-10 and SEC- plus Top 25 schools.

Scores for these conferences are not updated every minute- scores are updated periodically throughout the games.

Scores, Schedules and News are displayed by conference. Keep track of your favorite teams and your rivals all at a glance. Real time scores are officially licensed from Sports Direct. This free version is ad supported. If you don't want to see the ads, check out College Basketball Scoreboard Plus.

- Custom scores feeds by conference. The ticker now shows scores from your selected conference first, then other Top 25 games.

My Wireless Provider

  Hello everyone. I hope it is sunshine and roses where you are! I am going to write a little about my wireless phone provider this week. My provider is US Cellular, and they have a very nice selection of Android powered smartphones from Samsung, Motorola and HTC. Before you ask, no they do not carry the iPhone! US Cellular is concentrating on expanding their 4G LTE data network, and in their infinite wisdom Apple did not include US Cellular's 4G LTE frequencies in there newest phone, so it would be pointless to carry a phone that will not work on the US Cellular network!
  But back to US Cellular! One of the perks of being a customer is the points they award to my account every month for just paying my bill on time! What other carrier does that? These points can be redeemed for early phone upgrades at 1300 points = one month early upgrade. Also I can get accessories for my phone with the points, or if I have enough points I can upgrade at no cost to me! Just use the points!
  If the points aren't enough US Cellular has also been awarded the JD Powers "Best in Customer Service" award for wireless providers!
  On top of that nights and weekends start at 7:00 PM and all incoming text and voice calls are free! If you are out and your battery is dead, stop into a US Cellular store and get a free battery replacement.
 
  So go to your nearest US Cellular store and see if they are right for you!

As always if you have questions about switching to US Cellular, Android in general or even apps, feel free to contact me through Google+ or in the comments.
