MacMost Produces Video Guide To Lion - Published on 10/11/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Video Guide to Lion is a new way to learn how to get the most from your Mac. Instead of a traditional book or a set of tutorials on a DVD, it is an application that can be purchased in the Mac App Store. Targeted at new Mac users, or users who have just upgraded to Lion and are looking to learn about its new features, the Video Guide to Lion is a series of 21 video tutorials that can be watched right on a Mac inside the application.

Denver, Colorado - The Video Guide to Lion is a new way to learn how to get the most from your Mac. Instead of a traditional book or a set of tutorials on a DVD, it is an application that can be purchased in the Mac App Store. Targeted at new Mac users, or users who have just upgraded to Lion and are looking to learn about its new features, the Video Guide to Lion is a series of 21 video tutorials that can be watched right on a Mac inside the application. It is a product from MacMost, the same web site that features more than 600 tutorials on how to use Macs, iPhones and the iPad. But the videos in the Video Guide to Lion are exclusive to those who buy it.

"I wanted to come out with a way for people to learn Lion, but I didn't want to do another book," said Gary Rosenzweig, the producer of MacMost. "Since all Lion users have the Mac App Store, it seemed to make sense to create a product that could be sold right there."

The more than 2 hours of instruction includes topics like manipulating files, using Finder windows, learning about Mission Control, file sharing, browsing the web, using Mail, and accessing system preferences. Once a user has purchased the Video Guide to Lion, it will download to their Mac and can be run at any time. They can jump around between the videos, pause them, and resume them later. The videos are all recorded in high definition and show the user exactly what to do while Rosenzweig explains the different features of the Mac.

"Video instruction is the best way for many people to learn," said Rosenzweig. "When you can watch the video right there on your Mac, you can try things out for yourself as the video plays, or pause it to try them."

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.7 or later
* 64-bit processor
* 405 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Video Guide to Lion 1.0 is $9.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the Mac App Store in the Education category. Mac users can also run the Mac App Store from their Dock and then search for it.

The Adventures of Timmy takes Adobe MAX Conference by Storm

The Adventures of Timmy takes Adobe MAX Conference by Storm - Published on 10/11/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The newest game by New York based CB Labs turns heads at the recent Adobe MAX Conference in Los Angeles last week. The Adventures of Timmy: Run, Kitty, Run tells the tale of a young school boy named Timmy who decides to wear a cat suit to school. One girl named Kitty tries to befriend him. Unfortunately, Mitch, the schools bully, has already taken a liking to Kitty and kidnaps her. Timmy must find a way to stop Mitch and his minions and get Kitty back safe and sound.

New York, New York - Last week when Adobe threw its annual MAX Conference to celebrate its newest software release, Adobe Edge, everyone was talking about the same thing: The Adventures of Timmy: Run, Kitty, Run. The newest game from CB Labs won over attendees with its immersive story, seamless gameplay, and for being the first mobile title to launch with built-in Adobe Edge graphics.

Created and published by CB Labs and developed by Salt Lake City based Rain Interactive, The Adventures of Timmy: Run, Kitty, Run tells the tale of a young school boy named Timmy who decides to wear a cat suit to school. While all the other kids on the playground make fun of Timmy, one girl named Kitty tries to befriend him. Unfortunately, Mitch, the schools bully, has already taken a liking to Kitty and kidnaps her. Timmy must find a way to stop Mitch and his minions and get Kitty back safe and sound.

"Edge just worked so perfectly for what we were trying to accomplish" said the games creator, Adam Kahn. "Not only did we get these amazing cutscenes out of it but we're the first game, the first app really, to ever use this technology."

The graphics resonated with MAX attendees. At a completely full Adobe MAX session, Rain's Creative Director Dave Nimbley spoke on the program and its seamless integration into the game itself. "Edge gave us two great advantages over traditional iOS animation methods. First, we could allow our creative team to realize their vision autonomously, without having to sit over the shoulder of a developer and direct the assembly of the animations (which can be a painstaking, clunky process). And second, Edge gave us smooth-running performance without having to rely on video files, which would have resulted in a much larger download size. Even in its incomplete, pre-release state, we've proven that Edge is a viable option for beautiful animation in the iOS environment."

Adobe even used it as an example of what the program was capable of. During the keynote on Tuesday the game was highlighted as an example of what was possible using the technology. Paul Gubbay, Adobe's VP of Engineering, Design, ands Web, said of the development "Sometimes you just do mind-boggling stuff that we didn't even think was possible with the tool in the stage that it's in. One of the companies that's been doing that work has been Rain Interactive . . . and they released a new game last week called The Adventures of Timmy: Run, Kitty, Run".

Rain is an internationally recognized and awarded digital creative software agency dedicated to providing clients with solutions that allow their customers to connect with them wherever they are through the web, desktop, or mobile. Clients include HP, Google, Ancestry.com, Sony Music, Universal Music, Hess, Corona, Adobe and Skullcandy.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, 2/3/4G iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.1 or later
* 139 MB

Pricing and Availability:
The Adventures of Timmy: Run Kitty Run is offered at the sale price of $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Innovative Job Search app uses Google Maps and iPad to Locate SLP jo

Innovative Job Search app uses Google Maps and iPad to Locate SLP jobs - Published on 10/11/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SLP Spots 1.0 is a free iPad app that allows companies to post job openings for a fraction of what they currently spend on traditional media advertising. It gives speech and language pathologists the opportunity to browse the job openings and post their resumes. The map feature allows speech pathologists to view the location of the available positions on the Google Map directly on their iPad; this map even allows speech therapists to actually see how far each opening is from their own home.

Dallas, Texas - In the wake of companies across the U.S. facing difficulties in attracting and hiring speech pathologists, Smarty Ears, an innovative company in the field of speech pathology, has launched an app for the iPad that is currently used by thousands of qualified and tech savvy speech pathologists. SLP Spots is a free iPad app that allows companies to post job openings for a fraction of what they currently spend on traditional media advertising. It gives speech and language pathologists the opportunity to browse the job openings and post their resumes.

Companies that hire speech pathologists spend numerous hours making direct phone calls and browsing through online resumes, hoping to find a therapist to fill the thousands of open positions across the country. The current shortage in the field of speech pathology has forced companies, school districts, and hospitals to spend a great amount of time, making enormous efforts to find a therapist that is available for the position. At the same time, employment in this field is expected to grow 19 percent, thus companies need a clever and innovative way to reach them. In the past, companies heavily relied on websites such as Monster and Careerbuilder to post their job openings. However, their ads have become lost in a sea of countless irrelevant or unrelated job openings from companies across the globe.

The iPad and Google Maps are remarkable technologies that have been made available to us. SLP Spots has decided to take advantage of this opportunity to make job matching for speech pathologists easier and hassle free. The map feature allows speech pathologists to view the location of the available positions on the Google Map directly on their iPad; this map even allows speech therapists to actually see how far each opening is from their own home. SLP Spots will have each available opportunity mapped out so SLPs can see which cities are displaying the jobs they are specifically looking for.

Barbara Fernandes, the CEO of Smarty Ears, informs us that with SLP Spots, "speech pathologists can utilize a search filtering feature that was built specifically for speech pathologists and include filters such as setting, population served, and certification level. This is an extremely useful feature not only for SLPs but also for companies."

SLP Spots is currently available in the app store. It has been already downloaded by nearly two thousand speech pathologists, and the number is rapidly growing daily. While SLPs download the app for free to use, post resumes, and browse through job posts, companies pay an affordable price through an in-app purchase to place their ad on SLP Spots. The ad will become visible, immediately after purchase on the app store, to the over 20 million people who use an iPad and purchase apps through the iTunes store. There is no doubt that SLP Spots give companies the resources they need to conveniently and quickly find the right candidate for their position.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 1.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
SLP Spots 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Business category. Companies can start posting their openings immediately by downloading SLP Spots and making an in-app purchase. Prices start at $29.99 (USD) for a 30-day ad placement. For more information about SLP Spots, visit them online or send an email to Smarty Ears.

Smarty Ears was founded in december of 2009 by Barbara Fernandes, a practicing Speech-Language Pathologist certified by the American Speech and Hearing Association. Smarty Ears was the first company to create apps geared towards speech therapy for mobile devices. Smarty Ears' first application, called Mobile Articulation Probes(name changed to Smarty Speech in 2011) was released in January of 2010 and it has helped many speech therapists to make sessions more dynamic and engaging. Fourteen month later, Smarty Ears has created over 21 applications for children with speech and language delays and disorders such as Stuttering, articulation delays, autism, down syndrome, and language disorders. Our goal is to provide the best tools that engage every children to learn, develop appropriate communication skills and become better communicators. Copyright (C) 2009-2011 Smarty Ears LLC.

PhatWare Releases PhatPad 1.5 for iPad - Drops Price For A Week - Published on 10/11/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based PhatWare today announces PhatPad 1.5, an update to its popular note-taking and collaboration iPad app. PhatPad turns an iPad into an advanced brainstorming tool by enabling users to draw, write, and type on the iPad, then share ideas via email, WiFi sync, Dropbox, or with PhatPad's built-in presentation mode. Version 1.5 features an improved handwriting recognition engine, the ability to import new words into the user dictionary, and multiple dictionaries.

Spokane, Washington - PhatWare today is pleased to announce the release of a new version of PhatPad for iPad, a note-taking and collaboration app featuring PhatWare's proven handwriting recognition technology. The new PhatPad includes the latest version of vastly improved WritePad handwriting recognition technology, allowing users to import new words into the user dictionary from their iPad's contacts and events.

The new PhatPad recognition engine supports multiple main dictionaries, including free US and UK English dictionaries and the US English Medical dictionary as an in-app purchase. The user and main dictionaries are essential for high quality handwriting recognition. The dictionaries are used not only for handwriting recognition but also for spell-checking and word auto-completion. By selecting the appropriate main dictionary and adding new words to the user dictionary, users can improve the overall recognition quality and increase their productivity.

The new English Medical dictionary, which contains 220,000 words with over 130,000 medical and pharmaceutical terms and abbreviations, is designed for medical professionals and students.

PhatPad's key features include:
* Smooth-flowing digital ink technology, which lets iPad users scribble notes as if they are writing on real paper;
* The ability to combine drawing, handwritten text, images, and digital text on the same document page to create media-rich content;
* A powerful handwriting recognition engine, which automatically converts handwritten notes into text; voice notes which can be recorded, played, and even used in Presentation mode;
* An advanced Presentation mode, which supports a VGA monitor and allows recording and playing presentations by synchronizing document pages and voice;
* PhatPad document sharing via email, Dropbox synchronization, uploading to Google Docs and Evernote, and direct access using WiFi or iTunes;

More than just a note-taking app, PhatPad turns an iPad into an advanced brainstorming tool by enabling users to draw, write, and type on the iPad, then instantly share ideas via email, WiFi sync, Dropbox, Evernote, Google Docs, or in PhatPad's presentation mode.

The beauty of PhatPad as a note-taking, collaboration and brainstorming tool, is that it allows users to draw pictures, jot notes, or put a mixture of pictures, drawings, handwritten and typed text on a virtual scratch pad. The included handwriting recognition engine allows PhatPad users to convert previously recorded handwritten notes into digital text, and edit text using either the handwriting input panel or the keyboard.

PhatPad documents can be synchronized with a desktop computer or cloud via iTunes or Dropbox, exchanged between two or more devices on the local WiFi network, printed, emailed, or exported to PDF.

Brainstorming and collaborating with team members is simple using PhatPad's Presentation mode, which allows users to create quick presentations and display them on the iPad screen and external monitor.
