iPhone Flies on Model Rocket - Collects Data with Bluetooth low energy - Published on 11/01/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

iPhone model rocket fight shows hobbyists how easy it is to access to Bluetooth low energy on iOS Devices with TI's SensorTag and techBASIC. A small rocket was flown with the TI SensorTag secured in the payload bay while an iPhone running techBASIC was recording data safely on the ground. The second rocket flew with both the iPhone and the TI SensorTag on board. During the rocket flights the TI SensorTag recorded acceleration, rotation, and pressure data and passed the data to techBASIC.

Albuquerque, New Mexico - Byte Works, Inc., today announced the latest version of techBASIC was successful in capturing data and video from four iPhone model rocket flights using the new Bluetooth low energy SensorTag from Texas Instruments Incorporated.

"This was one small step by a geek, one giant leap forward for Bluetooth low energy," quipped Mike Westerfield, president of the Byte Works. "The iPhone rocket flight is just one example of how easy it is to write fun and cutting edge programs with the TI SensorTag and techBASIC. We are very excited to provide the program and the source code for the Rocket Data Collection app and the Rocket Data Analysis app so novice and experienced programmers will have a great example of how to quickly connect to Bluetooth low energy devices on iOS. We are also making the rocket plans and the data collected from our flights available to hobbyists and students so they can collect and analyze their own data."

Two separate rockets were built and flown to test the capabilities of Bluetooth low energy. A small rocket was flown with the TI SensorTag secured in the payload bay while an iPhone running techBASIC was recording data safely on the ground. The second rocket flew with both the iPhone and the TI SensorTag on board. During the rocket flights the TI SensorTag recorded acceleration, rotation, and pressure data and passed the data to techBASIC.

"It has been a pleasure working with Byte Works to add support for TI's Bluetooth low energy SensorTag in techBASIC. The SensorTag is designed to let app developers quickly realize prototypes of CC2541-based Bluetooth low energy products and techBASIC is the quickest way to write apps for collecting and processing sensor data from the SensorTag. Even engineers who are not familiar with iOS apps development can write techBASIC programs to interface with the SensorTag within an hour after installation of the app," said Jarle Boe, systems applications manager, Wireless Connectivity Solutions, TI.

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

Pricing and Availability:
techBASIC is $14.99 (USD) and is available worldwide in the App Store Utilities category. TI's SensorTag kit (CC2541DK-SENSOR) is $25.00 (USD) and is available now on the TI eStore and from authorized distributors.

Seoul, Korea - The iOS action-RPG Epic Hearts is available now for $0.99 - an exceptional 66% discount from its usual pricetag of $1.99. Previously known for their innovative iOS adventure title The Secret of Chateau de Moreau, 4:33 Creative Labs has received enthusiastic attention for its foray into the action RPG genre with their new fantasy epic.

Epic Hearts takes players on the fantastic adventures of a warrior apprentice charged with an ancient and sacred responsibility. In the universe of Epic Hearts, a new dragon is spawned every 1,000 years. The harmony, and perhaps the survival, of this world depend upon the dragon reaching maturity.

240 quests, 60 skills, thousands of special items and bonus item sets combine to create engaging gameplay against the background of this epic narrative. Players have three styles of play to choose from when they choose their apprentice character - traditional warrior (swordsman), gunslinger, and holy knight (paladin). Each of these characters embodies the thoughtful character design and appreciation of the aesthetic aspects of gaming that 4:33 Creative Labs demands in all of its projects.

Usually retailing for $1.99, Epic Hearts offers gamers this extraordinary journey at the extraordinary price of $0.99 for a limited time. It's available now in the iTunes App Store.

Features:
* A choice of three character types, each prepared to live and die as a hero for their cause. Players may choose the gunslinger, paladin, or swordsman as their character; each character type experiences Renobatio a bit differently

* Eight vast worlds must be made safe to ensure that the apprentice succeeds - each with their own unique themes, environments, mysteries, allies, and opponents to explore

* 240 quests lead the apprentice onward and upward towards the fulfillment of the millennial ritual

* Sixty skills demand the apprentice's attention, each providing an edge in the battle for good

* Dungeons to dominate and thousands of special items, gear, and gear sets give Epic Hearts players even more ways to live this adventure to its fullest

* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later

Whether choosing level progression, empire building, or reputation on the battleground - or switching their focus from time to time - gamers will find endlessly engaging playability.

SuperPower is available now in the iTunes App Store, and it's free to download. The sooner gamers check it out, the sooner they can build alliances and military powers that can truly compete!

Class Warfare is real, and now iOS users can play as the One Percent - Published on 11/01/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

No Tie Software today announces Class Warfare 1.0 for iOS. Play as the One Percent and appease the dependents. Class Warfare is a combination First Person Shooter plus Whack-A-Mole, and Augmented Reality. As a One Percenter, users must respond to the angry mob of striking union workers, pregnant women, hungry citizens, and more. It's a parody of the so-called "Class Warfare" that pits the One Percent against the working class.

Rochester, New York - Play as the One Percent and appease the 'dependents!' As a One Percenter, users must respond to the angry mob of striking union workers, pregnant women, hungry citizens, and more! Class Warfare is a combination First Person Shooter (slingshotter, technically) plus Whack-A-Mole, and Augmented Reality (on camera equipped devices)!

It's a parody of the so-called "Class Warfare" that pits the One Percent against the working class. Whatever side you are on, you can enjoy the game that our so-called leaders play every day!

To appease each dependent, users must select the right tool to respond with. For example, when a striking worker appears, use the courts and throw the book (gavel) at them! For the poor guy in a barrel, throw money at the problem to spread the wealth around! Will work for food? Let them eat cake! Users can even offer an aspirin for a pregnant mom's healthcare needs! Users must choose wisely if the dependent is to be appeased. Choose incorrectly and the number of dependents will increase!

Left, right, center, it doesn't matter! Everyone can embrace the silly political arguments that each side makes and just enjoy the Class Warfare!

Finally, after six months of rejection, Apple finally approved Class Warfare, just one week before the election! Originally, funny quotes from famous politicians and pundits were spoken, such as these gems:

* "Spread the wealth around" (John McCain and Barack Obama)
* "I'm not concerned about the poor" (Mitt Romney)
* "Back in my days, they used Bayer aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees." (Foster Friess)
* "I will buy all of the women as much aspirin to put between their knees as they want." (Rush Limbaugh)

Those quotes had to be removed, and some of the language toned down, but the app is still fun and can be played by users on either side of the political spectrum. Whether users agree with the philosophy that aspirin is the answer to America's healthcare concerns, or that money can solve all problems, the one thing all Americans should agree upon is that Class Warfare is real and being waged every day. So vote early and vote often, and get Class Warfare, the app.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 14.7 MB

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

ADHD Organizer App Helps People with ADHD Succeed - Published on 11/01/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lexington Creative has released the ADHD Organizer 1.0 app for iPhone and iPod touch. The app helps people with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) to better organize their lives. In the app, users set goals and then track their ongoing progress in achieving them. They can also record any failings and thereby discover areas of their behavior that need improvement. This double-sided approach means that users can identify and build on their strengths while addressing their weaknesses.

Sydney, Australia - Lexington Creative has released the ADHD Organizer 1.0 app for iPhone and iPod touch. The app lets users set goals (such as "get to work on time") and then record their success in meeting them in a daily diary. In the diary users can also enter areas in which they believe they can improve, such as "stop interrupting people."

The user can then view the number of times they have reached their goals and the number of times they are entering each to-improve item. This double-sided approach means that users can identify and build on their strengths while addressing their weaknesses.

Memory is a common problem for people with ADHD. The app contains a memory section where users can store "to do" and "to remember" items as well as the whereabouts of regularly needed objects like keys. The app also contains useful tips for dealing with ADHD which can be instantly accessed by the user whenever they need reminding.

The app was the brainchild of Alexander Harrington, Managing Director of Lexington Creative. He noticed that there was nothing on the market aimed at assisting individuals with ADHD to address their personal goals and weaknesses.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 1.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
ADHD Organizer 1.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Medical category.

Meditation has Many effects that make us more harmonious people, as we start to feel better. And when we are harmonious, we are also more compassionate and open to things around us.

"We want to help make the world a better place by making meditation accessible to all people, wherever they are. And the mobile phone you always carry with you," says Martin Wikfalk, mindfulness teacher and one of the founder of Mindapps.

It is scientifically proven that meditation improves our sleep, results in better relationships, stronger immune system and greater self-awareness. It reduces our feelings of stress at the same time as it makes us more effective. In other words your quality of life improves, as well as your ability to handle the everyday puzze and negative thoughts that often want to intrude.

"You become more grounded and steady. When negative thoughts comes it is easier to see through them," says Magnus Fridh, also a meditation teacher and the other founder of Mindapps.

It's not complicated to get started and it does not need not be particularly time consuming. Shorter meditations more often is better than longer meditations more seldom. Scientific studies have shown that positive effects of meditation are noticeable in the body only after a few weeks of meditation for 20 minutes.

The great thing about the apps is that you can meditate anytime, anywhere: on the bus on the way to work, in bed at night or when you go for a walk. We get very positive response from our users, and a person who has downloaded the app wrote that she stays five minutes in the car every day and medi- tate before getting into the family. As a re-start after work, says Magnus.

During the past three months more than 350,000 meditations were completed through the apps and The Mindfulness app is one of the most downloaded health apps in Scandinavia. Mindapps is now releasing The Mindfulness App II, with ten new meditations, six guided and four silent, the ability to set your own length, and the option to set reminders in various ways. With these two apps in the mobile phone no one need to miss the opportunity to meditate.

As a part of our vision to change the world through meditation, we have translated the apps into English, French, German and Danish. During the autumn, they will be launched in Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Norwegian says Magnus.

The Mindfulness App II is a tool to be more fully here in the life that we're living.
