In addition to SharePoint integration, mobilEcho 4.0 also contains updates to client management and an administration console enhancement.

"Enterprise investment in content and document management is continuing to grow, which means the use of corporate files and documents on smartphones and tablets is also increasing," said Chris Hazelton, research director, mobile & wireless, at 451 Research. "At the same time, it is necessary to keep these devices secure, especially when accessing and editing documents. Organizations need to marry the user's need for easy and convenient access to documents with the IT department's need to exhibit a level of control that ensures policies remain intact."

"mobilEcho has enabled us to access documents from wherever our employees happen to be, changing how we do business and enabling us to work more efficiently," said Brandon Covert, director of information technology for the Cleveland Browns. "We appreciate that GroupLogic is constantly updating the product to ensure we always have the features and capabilities we need, right when we need them. We also use SharePoint extensively in the organization, so remote SharePoint access is a great addition to the mobilEcho solution."

"It's required that any access they have to corporate content be secure and centrally-managed, so making it just as simple for the user to use as it is for IT to configure is the key to successful implementations."

The Power of Poo with GreenHound 1.0 for iOS - Published on 07/31/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The GreenHound App is about Poo Power. It is a game with a dog track on which players race the dog of their choice. But before players can race they have to collect enough poo from the trackside the power the stadium. If they don't, the lights go out before they reach the finish line. If a dog wins its race, players get points that they can use to unlock questions (and answers) that will show just how unusual, and effective, poo can be as a source of renewable fuel.

Sunderland, United Kingdom - The GreenHound App is about Poo Power! It's a game with a dog track on which you race the dog of your choice. But before you can race you have to collect enough poo from the trackside the power the stadium. If you don't, the lights go out before you reach the finish line.

If your dog wins its race, you get points that you can use to unlock questions (and answers) that will show you just how unusual, and effective, poo can be as a source of renewable fuel. You can also use your points to train your dog to make it even faster on the track. Questions you'll be asked include:

Is there such a thing as a poo burger?
How much poo would you need to light your home?
In which world city do residents make their own personal contribution to public transport?

Presently, over 95% of UK energy comes from fossil fuels, things like coal, natural gas and petroleum. And these are quickly running out. The UK has a target to reduce this consumption to 85% by 2020 (and that's not so very far away.) To keep the lights on, we have to switch to 'renewables' and so we all need to know what they are.

This game promotes the idea of the importance of the search for renewable fuels in a fun way. It's the first in a range of apps we're designing to engage more people in the sustainability debate.

Suitable for ages 4 , it will be a useful learning tool for schools and colleges as well as for 'green' organisation whose role it is to promote sustainability.

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

Pricing and Availability:

Enterprise Device Alliance Members Deliver Mac Mountain Lion Support - Published on 07/31/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Enterprise Device Alliance today announced support for Mac OS X 10.8, Mountain Lion operating system software in enterprise environments by the EDA member companies. Each member of the Enterprise Device Alliance provides products that allow organizations to leverage their existing investment in Windows management and administration infrastructure to manage both Mac and iOS systems as well as help organizations transition from current and previous versions of Mac OS X to Mountain Lion.

Sunnyvale, California - The Enterprise Device Alliance (EDA) today announced support for Mac OS(R) X Mountain Lion operating system software in enterprise environments by the EDA member companies. The cross-platform solutions available from the Enterprise Device Alliance members will deliver services for the latest version of Mac OS X and help organizations transition from current and previous versions of Mac OS X to Mountain Lion.

Each member of the Enterprise Device Alliance provides products that allow organizations to leverage their existing investment in Windows management and administration infrastructure to manage both Mac and iOS systems. EDA members provide additional integration and functionality in key areas of the business that are important to deployments in enterprise environments. These solutions address issues such as endpoint management - Absolute Software; identity & access management - Centrify; laptop backup - Code42 Software; multi-platform file access and integration - Group Logic; and desktop virtualization - Parallels.

"With the rapid growth of Macs in the enterprise, its more important than ever that organizations to be able to take advantage of the latest Mac OS X as soon as it's available," said T. Reid Lewis, president of the Enterprise Device Alliance. "All of the EDA members are committed to making sure that an environment of mixed PCs, Macs and mobile devices such as iPhones and iPads is both successful for the users and manageable for the IT administrators."

The individual member companies' Mountain Lion support includes:

Absolute Software:
Absolute Software will release a new version of its cross-platform client management solution, Absolute Manage, within 30 days of the Mountain Lion release. Absolute Manage, a "Visionary" in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Client Management Tools, supports all Mac and Windows desktop and laptops, as well as iOS, Android and Windows Phone mobile devices within a single management console. The update will include support for Mountain Lion clients and the Absolute Manage Server and admin console components for those organizations using a Mac as a management server. Absolute Software's Computrace, a cloud-based solution supporting security, governance, risk management and compliance (GRC), already includes a Mountain Lion-compatible client, available to existing customers through Customer Center.

Centrify:
Centrify's DirectControl for Mac supports Apple Mac OS(R) X Mountain Lion with Active Directory-based authentication, access control and Group Policy for users. The solution, part of the Centrify Suite 2012, enables administrators to utilize Active Directory and Windows Group Policy to centrally control Mac systems, including systems running on Mountain Lion. Centrify extends Group Policy support to iOS systems with DirectControl for Mobile. Centrify also supports a number of new features introduced in Apple OS X Mountain Lion. For example, Centrify supports Apple's new Gatekeeper feature by providing a signed installer package with Mountain Lion. Gatekeeper ensures safe downloads by protecting users from inadvertently installing malicious software. Using Group Policy, administrators can control which applications a user can install on their Mac by requiring that the application be digitally signed and validated by Gatekeeper.

Code42:
Code42, a leading provider of high-performance hardware and easy-to-use software solutions that protect the enterprise's data, provides support for Mac OS X 10.8, Mountain Lion throughout its product lines. For enterprises, Code42 delivers CrashPlan PROe to provide continuous online backup protection, along with backup archive verification, plus alerting and reporting features to keep you in the know about the status of your backup. Users will appreciate that CrashPlan PRO automatically backs up (as often as every minute) without slowing down their laptop or desktop computers and that they can restore their own files. Administrators will appreciate the online management dashboard that makes it easy to manage backup settings for the Windows, Mac, Linux and Solaris computers in your company.

GroupLogic:
As GroupLogic announced on July 25, 2012, ExtremeZ-IP v8.0 and activEcho 2.5 have been certified by GroupLogic's quality assurance engineers with Mac OS X 10.8, Mountain Lion. ExtremeZ-IP v8.0 delivers the complete Macintosh file server experience via AFP access to nearly any enterprise storage including Windows and NAS storage. activEcho 2.5 provides an enterprise managed alternative to consumer solutions such as Dropbox(TM) for file sharing and synching.

Parallels:
Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, the No. 1-selling software for running Windows and Mac applications side-by-side on a Mac without rebooting* and Parallels Desktop for Mac Enterprise Edition have been updated to support Mac OS X Mountain Lion as of July 10. Whether at home, at work or on the go, Parallels gives Mountain Lion users the freedom to run the apps they need for maximum productivity regardless of operating system. Recent updates to Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac and Parallels Mobile, which lets people remotely access their Mac from an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, also provide support for Apple's crystal clear Retina Display-allowing users to experience razor-sharp text and richer colors across all their devices in both Windows and Mac environments.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A retired National Board Certified English teacher develops an educational storybook app - "Smarty Britches: Nouns" - that teaches nouns to elementary students. Curriculum for educators, homeschoolers, and parents is free and expands on not only nouns but is also cross-curricular with the subjects of art, music, geography, and science; these lessons align with Common Core Standards. Cyndie Sebourn is the owner of Sascyn Publishing, Inc. and the author of "Smarty Britches: Nouns."

Hot Springs Village, Arkansas - A little Arkansas boy with a pair of magical britches is the star of "Smarty Britches: Nouns," a new educational app that celebrates Arkansas, created by National Board Certified Teacher Cyndie Sebourn of Hot Springs Village, AR.

Targeted to first- through third-graders, the app teaches kids about nouns, using an Arkansas-based tale that includes 24 pages of story and illustrations, interactive activities, sound sprites, and animation.

A National Board Certified teacher, Sebourn said the app "is designed for educators by an educator."

"Smarty Britches" teaches literacy and nouns through narrative, and allows kids to leave the text to visit non-linear pages and practice specific types of nouns: person, animal, place, thing or idea," Sebourn said.

Sebourn, founder of Sascyn Publishing, Inc., also created free curriculum for the app, called "Smarty Activities," for educators and parents that can be found on the author's website. The curriculum is aligned to Common Core State Standards, uses upper levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, incorporates reading strategies, and is cross curricular with science, geography, art, and music. Lessons include Picasso's "The Old Guitarist," Handel's "Messiah," as well as topics about southern states.

"The app works for parents, homeschoolers, and teachers," Sebourn said. "A child can use the app without an adult and learn nouns, or the adults can download the free curriculum and expand the child's learning."

The app tells the story of a southern boy who owns a magical pair of "britches" that teach him literacy by helping him learn about the nouns in his life. Teaching cultural literacy about the South and the state of Arkansas, some of its features include The Arkansas River and Hog Heaven - a make-believe place noun where Hog fans go when their team wins.

Sebourn is founder of Sascyn Publishing, Inc. and author of "Smarty Britches: Nouns." She has worked as an English teacher, most recently at Jessieville High School. Sebourn retired from education in 2011 to develop educational apps with Common Core State Standards aligned curriculum.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Smarty Britches: Nouns 1.0 is $3.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. The app will be available on other tablets soon.

Orderly - The Most Natural Way to Create To-Dos on Your iPhone - Published on 08/01/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tekton Technologies today introduces Orderly for iOS, their productivity App, with an intuitive user interface, that allows users to create To-Dos using simple iPhone gestures in the most natural way, setting apart other similar Apps. Notes are displayed on one of three shelves using Apple's bookshelf metaphor: High Priority, Medium, and Low. Users can instantly view all the To-Dos, expand or contract them with pinch gestures, drag & drop between priorities, mark as complete, or swipe to delete.

San Jose, California - Tekton Technologies today is pleased to introduce Orderly 1.1 for iOS, their productivity app that lets users create To-Dos on sticky notes of any one of six different colors, typing in any of three different fonts. Once completed, notes are displayed on one of three shelves using Apple's bookshelf metaphor: High Priority, Medium, and Low. Users can instantly view all their To-Dos, expand and contract them with pinch gestures, edit items, change their priority, mark them as complete, or swipe them to delete. The app includes two full-screen bookshelves, Home and Work, allowing users to keep To-Dos posted according to priority and location.

The extraordinary simplicity, practicality, and design of Orderly sets it apart from the many To-Do apps available. Having concluded that pinches and swipes are ergonomically more efficient than taps (which require hitting a target button), Tekton Technologies has employed the fundamental principles of human factors to design a To-Do app that is highly efficient, instantly informative, and accommodative of the daily needs of real people. The learning curve for the app and all its features is about one minute.

For a quick demo please visit Tekton Technologies online.

Feature Highlights:
* Create a To-Do instantly
* Great usability using simple iPhone gestures
* Pinch to zoom in/out to have a quick glance of the To-Do
* Automatically prioritizes your To-Do based on the due date
* Long press to delete, or drag n' drop to move a To-Do to a different priority
* Swipe right to mark an item completed or swipe left to delete an item from the To-Do
* Supports two boards or views: a Home view and a Work view
* Set colors/fonts, priorities
* Can set recurring dates
* Instantly share a To-Do via SMS or email
* Once a To-Do is completed, it moves automatically to the archives, and you can browse through them when needed

At launch in portrait orientation, the app opens to either the Home or Work page (reversed with a page flip transition). Sticky notes go on one of three shelves, depending on priority: High, Medium, or Low. Users are free to invent their own color-coding for notes, as the app supplies all six of the standard sticky note colors (pale yellow, pale green, pale blue, pale orange, pale red, or white). Completed notes can have their priority set from the Scheduling Menu as a category (High, Medium, Low), or according to a Due Date (user selectable from the date picker). Also available is a Recurring category that can be set for Daily, Weekly, etc.

The colored, rectangular sticky notes are displayed three to a shelf, or nine to a page. Scroll dots indicate that more notes are viewable on that shelf by scrolling horizontally. Touching any note causes it to grow to fill the entire screen. The notes are clean and spacious holding just six items in full screen mode (before scrolling) and three items in shelf display mode. When enlarged, notes may be edited, and swiping left to right across any item brings up a Completed button beside the item. Touching the button dims the item, but does not delete it, check it, or cross it out. Swiping right to left brings up a Delete button, which removes the item with a text slide animation off the page.

The app includes many customization options including backgrounds, textures, colors, fonts, headings, priorities, etc. Sound effects can be turned on/off, and Archives (completed items) maintained up to 60 days. With a colorful, clean interface for posting, checking, editing, and completing To-Dos, Orderly breaks down long lists of reminders into easily manageable sticky notes.

"Orderly is the most natural way to manage your To-Do lists using simple iPhone gestures," stated Rajesh Janakiraman of Tekton Technologies. "All your info is presented as simple sticky notes, so that you can create To-Dos and post them on your board, just like a sticky note. But this App allows you to prioritize your To-Dos, without the hassle of misplacing a note or forgetting an item, just because there are too many To-Dos to manage. The best part of the app is that Orderly automatically prioritizes your To-Dos by moving around those sticky notes."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 2.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Orderly 1.1 is now at the introductory price of $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. Review copies are available on request.

The update to this app features improved online updates, and many new book fields, such as: format, length, weight, storage location, reading dates, and more.

Users may manually enter books into BookBuddy, or with a simple scan of a book's barcode or search of Google Books, have a book entered into the system with ease. Once entered into BookBuddy, important information on a book's title, subtitle, author, and publisher, are linked to the book. This makes it very easy for students and researchers to obtain book citations for essays, reports, and theses. Users may also give books a 1 through 5 star rating, obtain more information on a book through a direct weblink to the book page in Google Books, and designate a reading status of Unread, Reading, or Read.

Tracking borrowed books can be frustrating, especially for avid readers who are often swapping books to read. BookBuddy answers the question of to whom a book was loaned. More than a simple database of the books in a user's collection, BookBuddy is an intuitive management tool that allows users to access their library of books as well as locate books loaned to or from others. Users can designate who they have loaned a book to by manually entering a contact name or linking to an existing contact in the user's contact list.

Feature Highlights:
* Quickly add books to library by scanning the barcode or searching Google Books
* Create custom categories to organize books
* Share favorite books using Facebook, Twitter or email
* Personalize custom Wish List
* Keep track of books loaned to family and friends
* Never forget who borrowed books are from

* Quickly find any book in library by entering book title or author
* Easily access any book�s web page directly from the application
* Star favorite books to access them instantly

BookBuddy features a wish list that allows users to locate and save links to books that they would like to read in the future. Users may add books manually or search online by title, author, or International Standard Book Number (ISBN). Users may save information on Wish List books including title, subtitle, author, publisher, genre, and a personal note. Users may also effortlessly share their reading status via Facebook, Twitter, and email. Users may also backup their BookBuddy collection to Dropbox, ensuring important book information will not be lost.
