TwitterStream HD for iPad - New, Where Tweets and Twittering Become Zen - Published on 10/03/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WhereMark LLC recently released TwitterStream HD 2.0 for iPad users. This is a new launch in the App Store that turns Twitter chaos into a peaceful Zen experience. TwitterStream HD features a gorgeous, realistic, interactive stream with soothing sounds. Users are able to relax and watch their tweets float by on leaves in the water, move them around or fling them off the screen. The app features full Twitter support, so users are able to send and receive tweets, login, retweet, search and follow.

Potomac Falls, Virginia - Announcing that WhereMark LLC, the developers of TwitterStream HD has released the 2.0 version of their unique product for iPad users. This is a new launch in the App Store that turns Twitter chaos into a peaceful Zen experience. TwitterStream features a gorgeous, realistic, interactive stream with soothing sounds. Users are able to relax and watch their tweets float by on leaves in the water, move them around or fling them off the screen. The app features full Twitter support, so users are able to send and receive tweets, login, retweet, search and follow.

There are lots of apps that hold a unique slant in their category but TwitterStream HD may just be the pinnacle of that 'something different'. It is absolutely gorgeous, turns chaos into calm and lets users interact with water while staying current.

"We set out to create an app that turned keeping up with Twitter from a chore to something passive, easy and natural. The way the Tweets float by allows Twitter to be part of the background, not the center of attention," explains WhereMark CEO, Kenneth Carter. "I think TwitterStream HD is exactly what we wanted it to be."

TwitterStream actually makes the frenetic activity of a user's Twitter account a peaceful, Zen-like experience. Users are presented with a very realistic natural stream and soothing sounds. When tweets come in, they are printed on leaves that float languidly by. Users can dip their hand in the water to move the leaves or fling them off the screen, which creates special effects in the water.

Composing and sending tweets, receiving tweets, logging in, retweeting, search and follow are all accomplished from within the serene application. There is full Twitter support, so users can still participate as much as they want to without having to leave the app, which they likely won't want to do, once they experience the relaxing calm found there.

Unique features offered in TwitterStream HD include:
* Beautiful, calming and artistic interface
* Transforms Twitter chaos into Zen calm
* Plays sounds to soothe and relax
* Realistic physics and water effects
* Full Twitter support
* Easy on the eyes, ears and nerves
* 30% off for a limited time

For a limited time, WhereMark is offering TwitterStream HD at 30% off the regular price. That means that right now, users can mellow out with their tweets for only $1.99.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 3.1 or later
* 21.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
TwitterStream HD 2.0 is only $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Moxi Mobile recently released Smart Tot Rattle 1.0.1 for iPhone and iPod touch users. Smart Tot Rattle is a new, interactive application that provides a world of sensory wonder to babies and toddlers, that includes the sights, sounds, colors and motions that are documented to increase brain synapses in very young children. The app uses bold colors, geometric patterns, vibration and sound and can also promote both fine and gross motor development.

Boise, Idaho - Announcing that Moxi Mobile, the developers of Smart Tot Rattle, has launched a smart product for iPhone and iPod touch users. Smart Tot Rattle is a new, interactive application that provides a world of sensory wonder to babies and toddlers, that includes the sights, sounds, colors and motions that are documented to increase brain synapses in very young children. The app uses bold colors, geometric patterns, vibration and sound and can also promote both fine and gross motor development.

Smart Tot Rattle is a newly updated application launch that has been designed specifically for babies and toddlers. It simulates a real baby rattle when shaken but it's much more, as well. This toy captivates, entertains and soothes, while creating a path for the child's learning future.

Inside the Smart Tot Rattle application, lies an interactive world of sensory wonder for tiny children, that stimulates three of the five senses. There is visual, auditory and touch stimulation that has proven to increase brain development via the growth of synapses in infants and toddlers.

Documented research has shown that babies respond to bright, boldly contrasting colors of white, black and red, as well as geometric shapes. Backgrounds, graphics and colors in Smart Tot Rattle are all based on these findings, to encourage a child's head start in learning. As the moving shapes engage a young child's attention, all of the elements together are serving to stimulate brain growth.

Some of the features in Smart Tot Rattle include:
* Easy to use interface
* Engaging and stimulating colors, graphics, movements and sounds
* Helps aid in the formation of brain synapses to increase intellect
* Shaking iDevice produces the sound of a rattle, as well as a vibration
* Interactive and fun for children up to 3 or 4 years old
* Promotes fine and gross motor development
* Icon link for discovering more great apps for baby's growing mind and body
* Created by a loving parent

Smart Tot Rattle also promotes both fine and gross motor development in babies and toddlers. Parents can shake their iDevice to start the rattle vibration then put the device in front of baby, who is laying on his or her stomach. Very young children stretch to reach for the toy and play, at the same time lifting their head. This exercise strengthens muscles that little ones will eventually use to learn to crawl and walk.

This app can be used for a long period of time, as even three and four year olds find interactive Smart Tot Rattle to be a fun game.

Device Requirements:
* 3GS iPhone or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 12.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Smart Tot Rattle 1.0.1 is only $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ntaff recently released ZombiePanic 1.0.1 for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users. ZombiePanic is a newly launched game app in the US App Store, one that offers lots of fast action and tons of challenge. The pace and subject of ZombiePanic is not for the faint of heart. It features twenty-four uniquely designed zombies, more than thirty weapons, five available skill upgrades, levels of varying degrees of difficulty, and great graphics. The application also features Game Center support.

Seoul, South Korea - Announcing that Ntaff, the developers of ZombiePanic, has released a thrilling product for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users. ZombiePanic is a newly launched game app in the US App Store, one that offers lots of fast action and tons of challenge. The pace and subject of ZombiePanic is not for the faint of heart. It features twenty-four uniquely designed zombies, more than thirty weapons, five available skill upgrades, levels of varying degrees of difficulty, and great graphics. The application also features Game Center support.

To all those brave souls out there who aren't afraid of the Living Dead, comes a new game launch to the U.S. App Store. It's called Zombie Panic and it's full of intense, fast-paced action and about a ton of challenges.

ZombiePanic contains twenty-four hideously unique zombies, from which some human survivors need to be saved. That's where the player comes in. With a choice of more than thirty weapons, each of which handles differently, along with five available skill upgrades, the player is challenged to save the humans who remain zombie captives.

Of course, the real trick is to kill zombies without killing survivors. Everything happens fast in Zombie Panic, so accidentally gunning down a human being is very, very possible, maybe even likely. All of the characters are hidden behind creepy-looking doors, which the player must open. When whatever is inside comes flying out, there is only a split second to decide whether or not to open fire.

Players can start at the basic, normal level and work their way up to Insane. Yup, and insane it is, complete with Zombie Rush warning. Does that give you a chill? If so, you may want to stay away from this one. If however, that got your happy gaming heart beating a little faster, you may want to give ZombiePanic a try. The graphics are very cool and it will certainly keep you busy.

These are some of the features in ZombiePanic:
* Cool, high quality graphics and game concept
* Various levels of gameplay, from normal to insane
* Change difficulty level at any time
* More than 30 different weapons to choose from, each with unique handling and results
* 5 different skill upgrades available
* 24 hideously unique zombies to battle
* Game Center support
* Tons of fun and challenge!

The Zombie Panic app also features Game Center support, which is especially great for the Unlimited Challenge Ranking level found inside this application. Like it says in the headline, this is not for the faint of heart.

* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 36.7 MB

16 year old Wiz Kid creates Quiz Kid app for Custom Flash Cards

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

16 year old Wiz Kid creates Quiz Kid app for Custom Flash Cards - Published on 10/03/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ryan Schnaufer today introduces Quiz Kid 1.0, his new flash card app for iOS devices. Designed from the ground up to be very customizable, Quiz Kid lets teachers and students create quizzes easily, with audio, and switch between Multiple Choice, Written Answer and traditional Flash Card styles on-the-fly. Quiz builders can choose fonts, font sizes, and colors for the questions and answers and even select traditional Flash Card "Flip for answer" style, Written Answer, or Multiple Choice formats.

Rochester, New York - At 16, wiz kid Ryan Schnaufer can't drive a car alone but he hopes to drive sales of his new iPhone app, Quiz Kid. While there are plenty of Flash Card apps on the Apple App Store, Quiz Kid was designed from the ground up to be extremely customizable.

Quiz builders can choose fonts, font sizes, and colors for the questions and answers and even select traditional Flash Card "Flip for answer" style, Written Answer, or Multiple Choice formats.

Another major differentiator for Quiz Kid is that questions can be spoken out loud, so the answer isn't obvious (think of a spelling bee... written questions would be pointless.) The app lets you record the question using your voice or use built-in Text-To-Speech! This really shows the advantage of using an app for Flash Cards versus traditional index cards.

The best apps are the ones that the developer designs for themselves, to solve a particular need. They know what will make it a good app because they need the app to solve their own problem. Ryan saw the need for a quality Flash Card app that could let teachers and students create quizzes easily, with audio, and switch between Multiple Choice, Written Answer and traditional Flash Card styles on-the-fly.

"The idea for this company and app came to me while I was sitting in my school library, studying for an upcoming test." said Ryan Schnaufer, owner of The Schnauf House. "I took out my Ipod and searched the App Store for a flash card app that I could use to study. The only things that came up in the search were apps that only gave me pre-made flash cards. I needed something else, and that got me thinking. For the last six months I have been dedicated to this project."

Another sign of Ryan's appeal to kids his own age is that recent scores are logged, similar to an arcade video game so users are motivated to do better. At just $0.99, Ryan priced Quiz Kid to keep the app budget-friendly for today's kids. Quiz Kid is sure to help other kids become Wiz Kids in no time.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later
* iOS 4.0 Tested
* 9.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Quiz Kid 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.

Arrhythmias helps to diagnose and treat very complicated medical problems, allowing medical practitioners to make quick, informed, peer-reviewed decisions that are in line with the standards of care. All information is cited with links to original and compiled research. As a way to promote the App in the Healthcare section of iTunes, the App is Free for a Day.

Taos, New Mexico - According to a recent study, more than 75% of medical providers (Physicians, Physician Assistants, and Nurse Practitioners) are using handheld, mobile devices as resources when treating their ailing patients.

Sales have exploded and "Arrhythmias" climbed onto the Apple Top 100 Medical Apps within one day and by the end of the first week, was a Top Ten Paid Medical App.

"We are eager to help medical practitioners make quick, informed, peer-reviewed decisions that are in line with the standards of care. We hope to provide affordable (FREE FOR A DAY) peace-of-mind to doctors, PAs, and NPs, as well as EMS professionals, when making decisions at the bedside or even in an ambulance. Our application helps to diagnose and treat very complicated medical problems, such as heart problems, in the case of 'Arrhythmias'," states Abe Balsamo, president of Abe Balsamo & Co.

The first application of it's kind, "Arrhythmias", has already been downloaded more than most other medical applications in the Apple Store. It is inexpensive and high quality, with an intuitive display and easy to use format. The application is updated regularly and strives to only provide relevant, informative, and even, life-saving medical information.

Abe Balsamo & Co. provides easy-to-use products that help to prevent medical errors; errors that could potentially hurt or even kill a patient. All information within our Apple-based iPhone app is cited with links to original and compiled research.

Between the levels players buy upgrades for their farming tools, new seeds and baby-animals to grow. Later in the game players gain access to a wide variety of structures that help process food and wool and make delicious milkshakes and mittens to sell at the local market.

The game features colorful art-style, cute character design and peaceful soundtrack. Players manage their farm along 60 challenging levels and 12 hidden object mini games, grow dozens of plants and farm animals.

"PC and iPad versions of Farm Mania were very successful among casual gamers so we decided to release the game on the Mac App Store. We have already sold a great number of copies of Farm Mania during its previous releases and we are sure that Farm Mania for Mac will bring thousands of newcomers to the series" - said Natalia Matveeva, head of business development at Realore.

Walter Murch To Headline Second Annual Boston SuperMeet

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Mon Oct 3, 2011 3:05 am (PDT)



Walter Murch To Headline Second Annual Boston SuperMeet - Published on 10/03/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The FCPUG Network have announced the Second Annual FCPUG Boston SuperMeet, to take place at the Stuart Street Playhouse at the Radisson Hotel Boston in Boston, MA. Featuring Oscar and BAFTA winning film and sound editor, Walter Murch, this SuperMeet will further celebrate the 10th Anniversary of SuperMeets and promises to be the single largest gathering of editors, gurus and digital filmmakers in the Northeast. Tickets are on sale online only and can be purchased at the SuperMeet web site.

Los Angeles CA / Boston MA - The Final Cut Pro User Group Network (FCPUG Network) today have announced the Second Annual Boston SuperMeet, to take place on Thursday, October 27, 2011 at the Stuart Street Playhouse at the Radisson Hotel Boston in Boston, MA. Doors open at 2pm with the "SuperMeet Digital Showcase" featuring over 15 software and hardware developers. SuperMeet Presentations will begin at 7:00PM and continue until 10:00PM. Tickets are on sale online only for the Early Bird price of $10.00 each (Early Bird price ends October 9, 2011) and $7.00 for students and Teachers with valid ID. The Boston SuperMeet marks the last city stop in celebration of the Tenth Anniversary of SuperMeets in 2011 and is expected to sell out as historically every SuperMeet sells out.

"We're very proud and excited to bring our Tenth Anniversary SuperMeet celebration in 2011 to a close in Boston, home to key players in our industry such as Avid and Autodesk, Boris FX, EditShare, GenArts, Noise Industries and others," states Daniel Berube, SuperMeet co-producer and founder of Boston's Final Cut Pro User Group (BOSFCPUG). "Think of the Boston SuperMeet as the creative networking gala for Boston area filmmakers to come together to share in conversation about where the industry is headed. We don't care what tools you use to share your stories, our focus is to inspire and empower digital content creators to action."

Scheduled to appear on stage will be Oscar and BAFTA winning film and sound editor Walter Murch, who has recently completed post production on director Philip Kaufman's "Hemingway and Gellhorn," staring Nicole Kidman, Clive Owen and Robert Duvall. "I'm very excited to be part of another SuperMeet, especially in the present moment of great ferment, and in Boston where I have many family connections," states Murch.

"We are very pleased and honored to have Walter Murch speak at the Boston SuperMeet," comments Berube. "We look forward not only to hearing Walter's thoughts on Final Cut Pro X but more importantly we are truly excited to offer SuperMeet attendees a rare chance to listen to and learn more from Walter on the craft of editing itself."

"Walter has always been a great supporter of SuperMeets," adds Michael Horton, SuperMeet co-producer and founder of the Los Angeles Final Cut Pro User Group (LAFCPUG). "Over the past years Walter has presented at SuperMeets in San Francisco, London, Las Vegas and now Boston. Boston is very fortunate to have him and we expect a huge turnout."

In addition to Murch, the Boston SuperMeet will also feature user-driven presentations from Avid, Autodesk, Blackmagic Design and Canon, all of whom have supported the SuperMeets in the past.

Avid will feature a very special guest editor from Hollywood who will share Avid workflow and show off the latest version of Media Composer. Most recently, Avid shared the SuperMeet stage in Amsterdam this past September with a discussion on Avid workflow between Avid's Michael Krulik and Hollywood film editor Eddie Hamilton, co-editor of "X-Men: First Class" and "Kick-Ass."

Autodesk will bring onto the stage visual effects artist Toronto-based Marc-Andre Ferguson, the Smoke Industry Manager at Autodesk. Marc-Andre will be onstage demonstrating the groundbreaking new workflow for Smoke on Mac. Using the latest MacBook Pro and a Promise Technology Pegasus Thunderbolt RAID, Ferguson will show how users can now bring the power of Smoke on the road. A long-time Final Cut Pro editor, Ferguson will focus on Smoke's editorial tools and demonstrate how accessible Autodesk Smoke really is, how to blast past the apparent steep learning curve it has and hit the ground running.

"During my editing career, I used Avid and FCP with a healthy dose of After Effects to get to where I wanted with the projects I worked on," states Ferguson. "Like many others doing finishing work, I aspired to use Smoke, which was out of my reach at the time. Now that Smoke is available on the Mac platform, it's accessible to a lot more people, even to those who don't build complex effects for Hollywood blockbusters and big budget advertisement."

A long-time supporter of the SuperMeets, Blackmagic Design will show off the latest in color grading workflow with DaVinci Resolve for Mac. Most recently, Blackmagic Design shared the SuperMeet stage with Avid in Amsterdam with London-based colorist Dado Valentic, well known for his grading and retouching work for the fashion and beauty industry. An award-winning artist, Valentic spends most of his time in London grading feature films, commercials and documentaries, including the BAFTA winning 3D project "Flying with Monsters" (2011) and the world's first 3D opera "Carmen in 3D" (2011).

Canon will add to the scheduled user-driven presentations with a notable filmmaker who will show their latest work using Canon's line of DSLRs and professional camcorders. Most recently, Canon shared the SuperMeet stage earlier this year in San Francisco with Michael Blieden, staff writer/director and D.P. for NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon." Blieden discussed his directorial and D.P. work on Fallon's Born To Run opening number for the 2010 Emmy Awards, a Glee inspired skit which featured Fallon, Tina Fey and members from the cast of "Glee."

Rounding out the evening will be the always wild and fun "World Famous Raffle," where thousands of dollars worth of valuable filmmaker-related prizes will be handed out to dozens of lucky winners.

"The World Famous Raffle has become a hallmark of the SuperMeets since the very beginning," adds Horton. "It is unlike anything you have ever seen at an event like this. It's a chance for the attendees to loosen up and go a little crazy and have some fun. We literally give away tens of thousands of dollars worth of prizes donated by our generous sponsors. At this SuperMeet alone we will be giving away a license of Autodesk Smoke for Mac, which retails for just under $15,000. And that's just one prize."

Doors are scheduled to open at 2pm with the SuperMeet Digital Showcase featuring over 15 software and hardware developers including AJA, Autodesk, Blackmagic Design, Avid, Adobe, Boris FX, Genarts, HB Communications, EditShare, G-Tech, Matrox, Pond 5, Rule Boston Camera, and many others. Here, attendees can enjoy a few cocktails, mingle and party with industry peers, network one on one with leading manufacturers and learn about the latest trends in collaborative editing workflows for post production and broadcast markets.

Tickets are only (Early Bird) $10.00 each (includes 2 raffle tickets) for Adults and $7.00 for students and Teachers and are on sale online only. EarlyBird tickets expire October 9, 2011 and increase to $15.00 online, or $20.00 at the door. Complimentary hot hors d'oeuvres and cash bars will be available throughout the evening. To purchase tickets online and for complete daily updates on the SuperMeet, including special Radisson Hotel Boston rate discounts, directions, transportation options, and a current list of raffle prizes, visit the Boston SuperMeet web site.

SuperMeets are gatherings of Final Cut, Adobe, Avid and Autodesk editors, gurus and digital filmmakers from within the US, Europe and the world over who use or want to learn to use Macintosh-based workflows and solutions in a collaborative workflow environment. Final Cut Pro User Groups (FCPUG) started as a grassroots movement to connect Apple Final Cut Pro editors at a local level. Now in its tenth year, the producers behind the SuperMeet have harnessed the energy of local chapters globally and turned SuperMeets into the industry's most influential user-organized series of global events. SuperMeets are held annually in San Francisco, Austin, Las Vegas, Amsterdam, London and Boston and feature user-driven demos of new products, collaborative production and post production workflows and filmmaker show and tells, including a SuperMeet Digital Showcase featuring hardware and software developers providing workflow solutions for digital filmmakers and content creators.

Race Pacer 1.0 for iOS - Simple Training App for Serious Runners - Published on 10/03/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dreamseeker Productions today introduces Race Pacer 1.0 for iOS, their new Sports app that lets runners enter Distance and Time to calculate Pace. Users can also enter their best Pace and Distance, and the app will calculate Training Paces, predict race performance, and estimate VO2 Max. Based on internal algorithms, the app enables safe and effective training for runners who train an average of 3 times per week by calculating pre-run training pace targets, and post-run performance results.

Arlington, Texas - Dreamseeker Productions today is pleased to introduce Race Pacer 1.0 for iOS, their new Sports training app that lets runners input Distance and Time to calculate Pace. Race Pacer also allows the user to enter any two of the following three variables to calculate the third: Time, Distance, and Pace. In addition, if the Pace and Distance input represents a runner's best effort, the app can calculate Training Paces, predict Race Performance, and estimate VO2 Max. Based on internal algorithms, the app helps facilitate safe and effective training for runners who train an average of three times per week by calculating pre-run training pace targets and post-run performance results.

Using the estimated VO2 Max, Race Pacer is able to determine Training Paces for various types of workouts: Long Runs, Easy, Marathon, Lactate Threshold, VO2 Max, and Speedwork. Knowing the right Training Pace is critical to ensure that the runner is not overtraining, which could lead to injury.

Race Pacer also supports Race Prediction. Assuming that the Calculated Pace and Distance represent a recent best effort run, Race Pacer uses a highly accurate formula to predict how the runner would likely perform at other distances, including: 1 mile, 3 miles, 5K, 4 miles, 8K, 5 miles, 10K, 10 miles, 20K, Half Marathon, 15 miles, 25K, 20 miles, and Marathon (26.2 miles). Both predicted pace and finish time are provided.

At launch in portrait orientation, the app displays an input window with three categories: Distance, Time, and Pace. Distance is selected from a scrolling list of 14 different races from 1 mile to Marathon. Time is dialed in using the Apple TimePicker, with wheels for hours, minutes, and seconds. Pace is also dialed in with available choices between 4 minutes, 0 seconds and 25 minutes, 59 seconds. With any two measures input, the user can touch a button to have a value for the third automatically entered in the window.

The bottom third of the screen displays the calculated V02 Max (maximum volume of oxygen usable by the runner), and from it derives Race Predictions and Training Paces. Finally, the bottom tab bar allows the user to move from Calculate mode to History mode, where all Distance / Pace / Time calculations are stored.

Feature Highlights:
* Calculate Distance from Time and Pace
* Calculate Time from Distance and Pace
* Calculate Pace from Distance and Time
* Historical Log of Calculations
* Estimate VO2 Max
* Estimate Training Paces
* Predict Race Performance

"Race Pacer was designed out of necessity by a competitive runner to meet their own needs and the needs of the millions of active American runners," commented Marc Young of Dreamseeker Productions. "Serious runners will appreciate the accuracy, flexibility, and convenience of Race Pacer."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 3.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Race Pacer 1.0 is currently at the special introductory price of $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Sports category. Review copies are available upon request.

FaceBooth for iPhone Free 1.0- Morph Two Faces Into One to See Offsp

FaceBooth for iPhone Free 1.0- Morph Two Faces Into One to See Offspring - Published on 10/03/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Toccata Technologies today introduces FaceBooth for iPhone Free 1.0, their Entertainment app that performs advanced image morphing of a male face and a female face to produce a photo of what the pair's grown child might look like. With face-detection technology, the powerful app permits one-button swapping of the main and secondary faces plus continuously variable control over the influence of the main face on the final image. The app uses Camera photos, Album photos, or built-in Model photos.

Columbus, Ohio -Toccata Technologies today is pleased to introduce FaceBooth for iPhone Free 1.0, their Entertainment app that performs advanced image morphing of a male face and a female face to produce a photo of what the pair's grown child might look like. With sophisticated face-detection technology, the powerful app permits one-button swapping of the main and secondary faces plus continuously variable control over the influence of the main face on the final image. The app allows the user to morph Camera photos, Photo Album photos, or built-in Model (sample) photos.

FaceBooth for iPhone Free is one of the latest iOS image-morphing apps, and it has several advantages over the competition. First, the ad-supported version of the app is free. To remove the ads and the "Morphed by FaceBooth" banner on saved copies of images, the user may purchase the full version.

Second, all morphing apps require the user to center control dots, which help align the features of the two photos, over the eyes and mouth on each picture. FaceBooth uses face detection technology to automatically position its control dots, so the user only needs to make very slight adjustments to exactly center the dot. An extremely helpful feature is the magnifying glass that automatically opens above any point touched, and which remains open as the user drags the dot, enabling precise centering and more realistic morphs. In addition to the three main control dots over the center of each eye and the mouth, FaceBooth provides seven secondary control dots for the edges of the mouth, the contours of the face, and the bottom of the chin.

Third, the app enables the user to adjust the final image to achieve the desired look. Because it is designed especially for advanced image morphing of a male face and a female face, FaceBooth designates the first photo chosen as primary and the other as secondary. That means that the final image will be the same gender as the person in the primary photo. If the user is curious about what might result if the offspring was of the opposite gender, a single button swaps the primary and secondary photos and re-morphs the image. Beyond allowing the user to determine the sex of the couple's offspring, the app also includes a continuously variable slider that controls the degree of influence of the main face on the final result. Users can select any value between 50% and 100% to achieve a greater resemblance to one parent than another.

Feature Highlights:
* Take photos from the iPhone camera or choose them from the Photo Library
* Includes a built-in library of sample photos that come pre-set and ready to use
* Performs advanced morph-processing with no Internet connection needed
* Adjust settings to make the result resemble one person more than the other
* Swap between the main and secondary faces with a single button
* Flip through the gallery to see the previous morphs created in the app
* Save any result into the iOS Photo Library
* Share morphs with friends via SMS, email, Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr

"What might my son or daughter look like when he or she grows up?" asked Eric Lu of Toccata Technologies. "What will Brad and Angelina�s next child look like? How much does little Johnny really look like the mailman? It�s simple with FaceBooth. Just use your iPhone to collect faces and, in a few simple steps, get the results."

Language Support:
* US English, Chinese, and Spanish

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.1 or later (iOS 4.3 tested)
* 10.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
FaceBooth for iPhone Free 1.0 is available at no cost worldwide, exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment and Social Networking categories. The full version of FaceBooth for iPhone 1.0, ad-free and watermark-free, is now at the special introductory price of $0.99 (USD) (regularly priced at $1.99). Review copies are available upon request.

The platforms and systems included in Palette0 have been inspired by both real and conceptual gaming devices from the 1970s through the 1990s. Each available system was designed from the ground-up and has its own color palette, resolution (can be overridden when using Hi-Fi Mode), display type, dither algorithm, post-processing effects and more.

Ball Skills for iOS - Football (Soccer) Game Tests Ball Handling Skills - Published on 10/03/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Krazysoft today introduces Ball Skills 1.0 for iOS, their new Football Game that challenges the player to develop professional ball handling skills. The game focuses on one aspect of football: the player must develop their ability to control the ball and keep it aloft by tapping beneath it. As players move through six Stages, each with eight Levels, new hazards and bonuses are introduced. Featuring realistic game physics, Ball Skills is an extremely challenging and engaging test of ball control.

Leeds, United Kingdom - Krazysoft today is pleased to introduce Ball Skills 1.0 for iOS, their new Football (Soccer) Game that challenges the player to develop professional ball handling skills. This is not a football game with goals and teams. Instead, the game focuses on a single aspect of football: the player must develop their ability to control the ball and keep it aloft by tapping beneath it. As players progress through six Stages, each with eight Levels, new hazards and bonuses are introduced. Featuring realistic game physics, Ball Skills is an extremely challenging and engaging test of concentration, dexterity, and ball control.

Professional football players can be seen warming up on the sidelines, balancing a ball on their foot, keeping it aloft with small taps, kicking it higher and higher and preventing it from touching the ground. This is the goal of Ball Skills. Players must learn how to control a hard, inflated sphere, a shape that is inherently unpredictable when hit. Slowly, a player discovers how to replicate with their finger what pro players achieve with their feet and knees. The game physics are very realistic, allowing players to control the spin, height, direction, and acceleration of the ball.

Ball Skills includes two modes: Practice and Play.

In Play mode, gamers unlock six Stages of eight Levels each and receive one, two, or three stars for their performance at each Level. As they progress, players are introduced to TNT (deducts points and sends the ball flying), the Vortex (sucks up the ball, ending the turn), the Life Saver (prevents the ball from hitting the ground), Kick Power (allows the player to select the kick power), Hooligan or Bad Guy (an obstacle in the game that is designed to hinder progress that can be defeated by beating them with the ball), and the Accelerometer engage (tilting the device alters the in-game gravity so the player can control the direction of the ball).

In Practice Mode the player can practice at his or her favorite football stadium using all of the features that have been unlocked in Play mode. Each of the 19 Stadiums available represent all the top UK football team home grounds, including: Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge, Anfield, Emirates Stadium, and many more. Ball Skills is a fast-paced, skill-based football game that will provide hours of fun.

In both Practice and Play mode the players can challenge friends to beat high scores via Game Center.

Feature Highlights:
