Kickstarter Campaign Aims to Bring Innovative iPhone Wallet to Market - Published on 12/06/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Talented innovator and entrepreneur, Eddie Hsieh is looking for support from technology fans on Kickstarter for a unique product that combines a handy money and credit card wallet with a sturdy iPhone 4 case. The Casellet combines a sturdy iPhone 4 protective shell with an innovative aluminum wallet on the back perfect for carrying identification, credit cards or even cash. The new product makes it easy to conveniently carry important items without the need for an extra wallet or purse.

Los Angeles, California - A talented innovator with a product that combines a handy money and credit card wallet with a sturdy iPhone 4 case is looking for support from technology fans on Kickstarter. With only a week to go, entrepreneur Eddie Hsieh is halfway there to make his product dream a reality.

"I am really close to my goal of bringing this very innovative and functional product to market," he said. "I just need the support of the iPhone 4 community to chip in a few dollars each to make this a reality."

The Casellet combines a sturdy iPhone 4 protective shell with an innovative aluminum wallet on the back perfect for carrying identification, credit cards or even cash. The new product makes it easy to conveniently carry important items without the need for an extra wallet or purse.

"We have been testing the product with iPhone 4 users in the Los Angeles area and have received some valuable feedback which led to additional product enhancements," Hsieh said. "Additionally, we have received some great reviews from industry blogs that will make the product an ultimate success if we can get the funding to bring it to market."

Hsieh came up with the idea for the product after making a wallet out of cardboard that he would Velcro to his phone in order to carry around his driver's license and credit cards.

"I tried card carrying cases and all of the leather cases and really didn't find anything that really suited my needs," he said. "That's why I decided to try to come up with another case that would really simplify my life."

Lacking a background in product design, he partnered with Ryan Robinson and Dan Martinez to make the necessary CAD designs to create the prototype. Armed with the demo, Hsieh then turned to Kickstarter to bring the product to fruition.

"We plan to enter the production phase at the end of this month and bring the product to market early next year pending the funding from our supporters on Kickstarter," he said. "But we are down to the wire and really need everyone's support to make this a reality. Every little donation brings us closer to the goal and if you chip in as little as $40, we will ship you one of the first Casellets right off the production line that will be retailing for $60."

Chip in $45 and the donor will receive an extra special Casellet made out of wood. A truly collector's version of the soon to be hot iPhone 4 product. To donate to the Kickstarter campaign to make the innovative Casellet product a reality to simplify your life, please check out their Kickstarter Project.

Spy Cam 1.1 for OS X - Use a Mac to Secretly Record Surveillance Vid

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

Spy Cam 1.1 for OS X - Use a Mac to Secretly Record Surveillance Video - Published on 12/06/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Alice Dev Team today announces Spy Cam 1.1 for OS X, their Utility app that allows Mac owners to use the computer's webcam to secretly record surveillance video with sound. The app can automatically record movies of 5 - 60 seconds at intervals of 1 - 30 minutes. Videos are sent to the user's free Dropbox account, and Spy Cam is password protected. Whether to identify unauthorized users, recover a stolen computer, or simply eavesdrop at home or office, Spy Cam is a simple affordable solution.

Siberia, Russia - The Alice Dev Team today is pleased to announce Spy Cam 1.1 for OS X, an update to their Utility app that allows Mac owners to use the computer's webcam to secretly record surveillance video with sound. The app can be set to automatically record movies of 5 to 60 seconds at intervals of 1 to 30 minutes. Captured video is sent to the user's free Dropbox account, and Spy Cam is password protected. Whether to identify unauthorized users, recover a stolen computer, or simply eavesdrop on others at home or office, Spy Cam is a simple, affordable solution.

For more than 30 years, ingenious developers have created software that informs the owner of a Mac if anyone else has used his or her computer. Not that office mates or family members use another's computer with malicious intent. Yet, as Mac owners become increasingly reliant on their computers for personal communications, record keeping, photos, business reports, etc., the desire to ensure privacy has grown quickly. Few security programs have been capable of informing the Mac owner who used their computer, only that it was used at a certain time. Spy Cam is an automatic, foolproof solution to identifying exactly who used an owner's computer, when, and what was said.

Many Mac owners set up their computers without a password for the sake of convenience. Many Mac users are not certain how to password protect their files. Many Mac owners do not use passwords because they trust that others will respect their privacy. And many who have passwords share them with others, or write down their passwords on paper near their machine. Whatever the reason, millions of Macs are vulnerable. Now, Spy Cam offers automatic, invisible security that is undetectable by others. Owners need not be inconvenienced with passwords, nor must they admit to any distrust of others.

Feature Highlights:
* Automatically records videos (including sound) in 320240 format
* Can be completely set up and ready to put on automatic protection in just 1 minute
* Choose the recording interval you prefer: every 1/3/5/10/15/20/25/30 minutes
* Set the video clip length: 5/10/15/20/30/60 seconds
* Optimally compresses videos, and saves hard drive space
* Operates in the background using little processor power or memory
* Has a user-friendly interface
* Obeys a single master: only you know the secret password to operate Spy Cam
* Does not interfere with other auto-launch apps
* Automatically sends videos to your free Dropbox account in case of theft
* Works quickly, silently, covertly
* Costs 10 times less than a conventional video surveillance system
* Check if your child turned the computer on without permission

"Spy Cam is your own personal spy! The perfect application for private video-surveillance," stated developer and CEO Stanislav Kuptsov. "With Spy Cam, turn your Mac into a surveillance camera. If anyone sticks their nose in your computer and private life... catch them in the act!"

Language Support:
* U.S. English, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, and Spanish

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.6 or later
* Webcam-equipped Mac
* 0.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Spy Cam 1.1 is only $9.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the Mac App Store in the Utilities category. Review copies are available upon request.

Pamplona, Spain - Independent developer Miguel Munoz today announces Soccer Caps 1.1.1 for iOS, an update to his free Football/Soccer Game where players buy teams, play matches and win trophies via Game Center, and negotiate the sale and trade of players via Twitter. Virtual money is used to buy players and to bet on the outcome of matches.

An exciting, social simulation of professional soccer, Soccer Caps also includes a Training mode to perfect soccer skills.

Professional Football/Soccer, like all professional team sports, depends largely on buying the best players at the best prices. Behind the scenes, professional team sports resemble commodities markets, with quotes changing daily. Soccer Caps gives the gamer an opportunity to participate in a global simulation of the business of professional soccer.

Players start off by buying a team and naming a coach. As they earn more money, they can purchase additional teams and individual players. From the Coach's Screen, players can track the amount of virtual money they have (additional coins are available through an in-app purchase), how many teams they own, and the number of trophies won on Game Center. Players can also challenge friends or compete in auto-match games via Game Center. Finally, from the Coach's Screen the player can go to the Transfer Market where individual soccer players are available for sale. Each athlete has a virtual cash value determined by his strength rating and accuracy rating.

Unlike other social Soccer games, Soccer Caps gamers are not limited to sharing information through social networks, but instead rely on instantaneous messaging via Twitter to engage in buying, selling, and trading players through tweeting. It is also possible to issue challenges through Twitter betting virtual money.

Vancouver, Canada - Mind Juice Media today announces Charmed: RewardDen Edition, an exciting new version of its popular iPhone/iPod touch puzzle game, Charmed, which allows players to earn points which can be used to purchase real-world gift cards for some of the most popular online stores.

The new version was created in partnership with RewardsDen. It gives players the opportunity to earn RewardsDen Points (RDP) through daily checkins within the game, as well as by earning achievements during gameplay.
