Blaster's App Simplifies Explosives Engineering - Published on 10/27/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

21 x 20 Media, Inc. today announces Blaster's App 1.0.3 for iOS, an all-in-one tool for professional explosives engineers. Ideal for blasters, engineers, and inspectors alike, Blaster's App gives blasters the tools, calculators and resources needed to be fast and productive on the job, including seven custom calculators, borehole layout designer, and direct links to online blasting resources. Easily save calculations and layouts to Projects according to automatically-detected GPS location.

Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania - 21 x 20 Media, Inc. today is pleased to announce Blaster's App, an all-in-one tool for professional explosives engineers. Blaster's App gives blasters the tools, calculators and resources needed to be fast and productive on the job, including seven custom calculators, borehole layout designer, and direct links to online blasting resources.

"Blasting is an industry that just wasn't being serviced properly in the mobile field," says Kenn Wagenheim, owner of 21 x 20 Media, Inc. "We saw a definite need for this app and the ability to have its tools and resources at your fingertips, carried with you while laying out a shot or planning a project. While the custom calculators in the app are pretty darn useful and handy, it's the borehole layout design system that is really incredible and unique. I do believe the app will not only make things easier and save blasters tons of time, but should also help prevent many of the errors that doing the complex calculations by hand can produce."

Ideal for blasters, engineers, and inspectors, Blaster's App makes it easy for users to not only calculate common complex equations needed on the job, but also design and set delays for both simple and intricate layouts. Blaster's App allows users to save individual layouts and export them to email, making it easy for blasters to share details with their team, clients and inspectors.

Feature highlights:

* Seven custom calculators: Ground Vibration Prediction, Airblast Prediction, Powder Factor, Explosives Per Borehole, Rock Per Borehole, Scaled Distance, and Borehole Angle Drift.

* Borehole Layout Designer: drag a finger to connect the holes and set delays on groups or individual holes. Doubles are instantly shown in red, which takes the guessing out of shot layouts. A task that used to take hours now takes minutes.

* Links to online blasting resources, including MSHA: Safety Standards, OSM: Office of Surface Mining, ATF: Explosives Storage Requirements, ISEE: International Society of Explosives Engineering and regulations for individual states, including PA, NJ, NY and more.

* Turn on heat map in borehole layouts to easily visualize the shot timing in its entirety.

* Save calculations and layouts to Projects according to your automatically-detected GPS location. Return to the same location at any time and the app will automatically know the project or site at which you are. Load any saved calculation or layout for quick and easy access to your previous work.

* Exported layouts can be imported on another device running Blaster's App.

* Additional tools include level, float level, GPS, compass and standard calculator.

"We are very excited to offer this to the professional blasting industry," says Wagenheim. "We look forward to helping them make their work faster, safer and more efficient."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* iOS 3.2 or later (iOS 4 and iOS 5 Tested)
* 4.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Blaster's App 1.0.3 is $129.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the Apple App Store in the Utilities category.

Coca-Cola Amatil today introduces Formula 1.0, their mobile bartending utility for iOS devices. Formula will provide anyone working within the hospitality industry the power to access practical information and train themselves to master the art of serving beer, coffee, spirits, and soft drinks on the go. The app employs videos, imagery, and accompanying text to help educate users - all of which can be accessed quickly by users regardless of whether they work at a bar, hotel, restaurant, or cafe.

Crows Nest, Australia - Coca-Cola Amatil, a leading global non-alcoholic beverage bottler, has today announced the launch of Formula for iPhone, and iPod touch devices running on iOS 4.0 or later. Formula is a creative new mobile bartending app built to provide anyone working within the hospitality industry - or those simply interested in mixing drinks - the power to access practical information and train themselves to master the art of serving beer, coffee, spirits, and soft drinks on the go. The app employs videos, imagery, and accompanying text to help educate users - all of which can be accessed quickly by users regardless of whether they work at a bar, hotel, restaurant, or cafe. Formula is currently available for download on the Apple App Store for $0.99 in the Lifestyle category.

Formula contains over 50 videos and 200 images that are all laid easily and conveniently enough for users to access whenever and wherever they'd like. The application includes a vast array of diversely helpful drink beverage serving information. Topics range from how to make professional quality coffee and maintain consistency when mixing drinks, to popular bar tricks for entertaining guests, a fundamental overview of beer, and more. Furthermore, a great deal of the information included in this app is perfect for helping leisurely mixing enthusiasts learn how to make better cocktails and coffee, or brush up on their beers from home or anywhere else!

John Murphy, Managing Director of the Licensed Division at CCA, helped to clarify why it was so important for the organization to create the app, stating that "We spent a lot of time and invested significantly in this application because of the strong feedback we received from our customers, who told us that they wanted 'zero brand paraphernalia' practical training information delivered in a mobile, easy to understand format".

A good deal of the content available in the app was provided by the much esteemed Mixxit beverage team, something which ensures Formula contains a level of educational content that is simply unmatched by any other beverage mixing app. As Jason Crawley, a member of team Mixxit, explains, "FORMULA is packed full of relevant, useful and engaging information that bar, restaurant, club or hotel staff at any level will find useful, we hope you enjoy it!"

Coca-Cola has also stated that an Android compatible version of Formula is due to be released later in the year. For further information, please visit the Formula page, search 'Formula Mixxit' in the Apple App Store, or email us.

The Countdown is On: In Time - The Mobile Game Goes Free for 24 Hour

The Countdown is On: In Time - The Mobile Game Goes Free for 24 Hours - Published on 10/27/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Based on the highly anticipated feature film starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried, IN TIME, the iPhone game will be available for free this Friday, October 28th. The IN TIME mobile game puts players in the foreboding, near-future world of IN TIME, where time itself is a finite commodity. In the game, players control hero, Will Salas, as he tries to escape the evil Minutemen. The game is designed as a fun, accessible way to bring the audience closer to the film's world and action.

Los Angeles, California - With the release of IN TIME only twenty-four hours away, New Regency today announced that the movie's thrilling 3D action mobile game will be available for free download all day Friday via the iTunes App Store.

Published by Fox Digital Entertainment, in conjunction with New Regency, the IN TIME mobile game puts players in the foreboding, near-future world of IN TIME, where time itself is a finite commodity. In the game, players control hero, Will Salas (Justin Timberlake), as he tries to escape the evil Minutemen. Players score points across sixteen different levels by sprinting, jumping and dodging waves of obstacles and assailants. Players can increase their scores by acquiring "time capsules" and by giving time to those in need - but being too generous, or being caught by the Minutemen, may mean your time is up.

The game is designed as a fun, accessible way to bring the audience closer to the film's world and action. "We really enjoyed distilling IN TIME's high-adrenaline action into an exciting gaming experience" said game developer RoboModo's David Michicich. "We used Epic's Unreal Engine 3, one of the most powerful graphics engines, to create an experience that captures the film's urgency, both in the feel of the game play as well as its striking visuals."

The game deal - the first of its kind for Regency - was put together in collaboration with Union Entertainment, a management/production company specializing in videogames.

For those who don't want to "waste time" waiting to download the game for free next Friday, it's available now for $.99 at the iTunes AppStore. The sale will last until 11:59pm on Friday the 28th at which point the free clock will expire... and your time will have run out.

Adventures of Gilbert the Ghost for iOS - Kids' Tilt Control Action Game - Published on 10/27/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tenlin Studios today announces Adventures of Gilbert the Ghost 1.0 for iOS, their Halloween-ready, tilt control, action game for kids. The side-scroller lets players fly through the air as Gilbert the Ghost, getting as much candy as possible, while avoiding such obstacles as bats, witches, zombies, and spiders. Played in landscape orientation, Gilbert remains on the far left of the screen and moves up and down, collecting candies that scores points, and avoiding obstacles that remove one life.

Chicago, Illinois - Tenlin Studios today is pleased to announce Adventures of Gilbert the Ghost 1.0 for iOS, their new, Halloween-ready, tilt control action game for kids. The side-scroller allows players to fly through the air as Gilbert the Ghost, collecting as much candy as possible, while avoiding such obstacles as bats, witches, zombies, and spiders. Played in landscape orientation, Gilbert remains on the far left of the screen, and players control his movement up and down by tilting the iOS device. Kids try to fly through candy to score points, and around obstacles to avoid losing a life.

The game starts simply to allow the player to become accustomed to the controls and the scene. It will also default to Easy difficulty mode, but may be changed to Hard at any time by pressing a button on the lower left corner of the map screen. In Easy mode, the only obstacles gamers encounter (other than the boss monsters) are bats and witches, and they both remain stationary. During gameplay in Hard mode, players encounter bats, witches, zombie hands, and spiders. Bats and witches will fly toward Gilbert in Hard mode, making it especially challenging. Each obstacle hit removes one of Gilbert's lives. He begins each level with three lives, and if he loses all his lives before completing the level, it repeats, and Gilbert again has three lives.

The first zone that Gilbert flies through is the dark Forbidden Forest. Players score points by tilting the iOS device to touch/collect the red candy. When kids encounter a bat or a witch, they must tilt the device to move around them, or they can touch the screen to send a "BOO" out of Gilbert's mouth that will eliminate the obstacle. At the end of the fourth level in the Forest, Gilbert faces a giant Tree Boss, who hurls branches at Gilbert. To beat the boss, Gilbert must dodge the branches and shoot "BOO"s at the boss until he defeats him.

Obstacle Info:
* Stationary bats (Easy mode, levels 1-12)
* Stationary witches (Easy mode, levels 1-12)
* Moving bats who fly toward Gilbert (Hard mode, levels 1-12)
* Moving witches who fly toward Gilbert (Hard mode, levels 1-12)
* Zombie hands that pop up from the ground (Hard mode, levels 5-12)
* Spiders that come down from the ceiling (Hard mode, levels 9-12)

The second zone starts at level 5, and Gilbert now flies through the Ghoulish Graveyard until he reaches the end of level 8 and must face a spooky Ghost Boss. The Ghost Boss throws evil ghosts at Gilbert, who defeats this boss by dodging the ghosts and shoots "BOO"s until he defeats him.

The third zone starts at level 9 where Gilbert enters Dracula's Haunted Mansion. Gilbert meets Dracula at the end of level 12. Dracula transforms into a bat and charges quickly at Gilbert, so players must use quick reflexes to allow Gilbert to dodge him and at the same time shoot "BOO"s to defeat him. Once Gilbert overcomes Dracula, the player wins the game. High scores are saved for each level, and successive games are increasingly difficult.

Feature Highlights:
* Easy to learn tilt controls
* Three fun-filled zones to fly around in
* Zone bosses to defeat - even Dracula
* Easy and Hard difficulty levels provide fun for kids of all ages
* Hours and hours of fun
* Fun graphics and spooky sound effects

"Adventures of Gilbert the Ghost is a great adventure game where kids get to be a smiling white ghost who bravely flies through the Forbidden Forest, the Ghoulish Graveyard, and Dracula's Haunted Mansion," commented Jennifer McCabe of Tenlin Studios. "The easy tilt control is simple for kids to master, and defeating the monsters is a ton of fun!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 3.1.3 or later (iOS 5 tested)
* 6.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Adventures of Gilbert the Ghost 1.0 is only $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Review copies are available upon request.

When running, users can swipe to see the next image before it changes automatically from within the app.

Classical dictionaries are quiet brief when explaining or translating a word: To blame is the lack of space when printing on paper. The digital world however offers vast amounts of space. The language experts at Linguatec saw their chance to present the ultimate dictionary.

SmartDict Dictionary English - an app that collects more than 350,000 words and phrases of the English language in an offline database. The information it contains may be used anywhere in the world - even without an internet connection. Especially abroad, where the app would be used more intensively, high roaming charges could accumulate.

SmartDict Dictionary English distinguish itself from ordinary dictionaries by offering an extensive amount of benefits when addressing each single word. After the user selects an English word from the alphabetical list of suggestions or one that was found through the search, the app offers amongst other things the following information appropriate for the term:

* Description of word type and article
* Illustration of hyphenation

* Typical word combinations from everyday life

* Derived terms
* Diminutive terms
* Information about the origin of a word
* Translation of a word into more than 100 languages

The app SmartDict Dictionary English distinguishes itself not only through its detailed word introduction, but also by applying a special operating concept. It has the capability to fade out individual elements from the page. If somebody has no interest in hyphenation or the spoken language for example, this may be hidden.

Additionally the app features a tool view that can be opened through a simple tap. It allows the user to establish a favorite list, so that important words may be accessed easily at a later point in time. Furthermore it has the ability to store personal notes, change the font size and run a word or online image search. The sidebar also offers the option of changing the interface of the app by selecting one of the nine featured skins.
