IPEVO Showcase App Now Available Through Apple App Store - Published on 11/15/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

IPEVO has just released their free Showcase app through Apple's App Store. Showcase restricts touchscreen interactions and helps control and customize the iPad user's experience. Showcase was created along with IPEVO's Perch Security Stand as part of a complete solution for educators, shop owners, gallery owners, and other businesspeople in need of a secure, customizable, and interactive kiosk for public display.

Sunnyvale, California - IPEVO, Inc., a maker and designer of technology products for educators and businesspeople, has announced that their free Showcase application is now available for the iPad via the Apple App Store. Designed for interactive kiosks and other public displays of the iPad, Showcase restricts touchscreen operations and features a number of display options to control how users interact with the iPad.

Showcase was created along with IPEVO's Perch Security Stand as part of a complete solution for educators, shop owners, gallery owners, and other businesspeople in need of a secure, customizable, and interactive kiosk for public display. The Perch Security Stand - available in three sizes - mounts the iPad in both landscape and portrait orientations. Two locks on the stand's security holder prevent the mounted iPad from being removed, discouraging theft and preventing accidental damage. An optional home button lock prevents the home button from being pressed. As the final element, Showcase further fine-tunes the user experience.

When Showcase is active, onscreen content can be controlled in a number of ways, and touchscreen interactions can either be limited or prevented entirely. The home page can be customized, and an auto-return feature makes sure the iPad reverts to the same home page for the next user. Showcase also allows for the creation of a navigation shortcuts toolbar so that users may quickly switch between different predetermined content pages. Additional display options include full screen mode and disabling of the URL field. A four-digit programmable PIN allows the owner to reconfigure Showcase and access other apps.

"Showcase is the software half of a complete hardware-software solution for iPad owners seeking all the benefits of a secure interactive kiosk," said Royce Hong, CEO and big head of design of IPEVO. "The iPad has created tremendous opportunity for educational institutions and businesses to engage students, visitors, and clients. The Perch Security Stand and Showcase deliver a secure and highly customized way to control and optimize that interaction."

Device Requirements:
* Requires iPad with iOS 5.0 or later
* 1.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
IPEVO Showcase 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Business category. The Perch Security Stand - L-Type, M-Type, and S-Type - is available through IPEVO's Online Store.

Melbourne, Australia - The creators behind award-winning educational apps for children has today announced the release of their latest title, Toddler Maze 123. This app by GiggleUp features a series of interactive mazes designed to entertain young players in addition to its many benefits for early childhood development.

No two mazes are the same and that is where this app shines through in the sea of maze apps out there.

With each new scene there are many interactive elements to play with and explore, complete with fun and simple animation accompanied by sound effects.

This app grows with your child. With each maze he or she completes, the next one offers just a little more challenge. For young ones who need a little extra bit of help, a hint button is available for optional guidance. This progressive learning approach with the addition of clever features makes Toddler Maze 123 great for kids aged 2 to 6 years old.

Total Recoil is a topdown arcade shooter that packs an armour-piercing punch, where subtlety is not an option and where big guns, huge bosses and mega explosions rule the day. Total Recoil starts each player off as a lowly enlisted Private. They then work their way up through the ranks by blasting through wave after wave of gun-toting grunts, turrets, gunships, mega-tanks, mines and more.

London, United Kingdom - Independent game developer Eiconic Games is proud to announce the launch of Total Recoil 1.0.1 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Total Recoil is a topdown arcade shooter that packs an armour-piercing punch, where subtlety is not an option and where big guns, huge bosses and mega explosions rule the day.

Total Recoil starts each player off as a lowly enlisted Private.

Along the way, players can arm themselves with a huge array of weapons as well as raining down death and destruction upon their enemies by earning 'Killstreaks' - including artillery strikes, aircraft strafing runs, sentry guns and smart bombs. Particularly impressive feats of destruction earn the player 'bucks' which they can then use to upgrade their character's key attributes, unlock new items, and also boost the destructive power of their weapons and killstreaks.

"We set out to make the most over-the-top, most addictive, most explosive action game possible," said Neall Jones, CEO, Eiconic Games. "We've really turned the volume up to eleven on Total Recoil, merging its very distinctive tongue-in-cheek styling with larger-than-life weapons, bosses and explosions to give players an incredibly satisfying experience. It's the most gun toting, flame throwing, rocket launching, barrel busting, chain-gunning, explosive game on the App Store.

"There are only two rules in Total Recoil - Rule One: Shoot everything that moves. Rule Two: Shoot everything that doesn't.

Feature Highlights:
* Explosively addictive arcade gameplay keeps you coming back for more. If you can see it, you can blow it up
* Upgradable weapons including Assault Rifle, Flamethrower, Chaingun, Cannon, Grenade Launcher and Missile Launcher

Dr. Van Stone has released the most extensive book for iPad on the 2012 Maya predictions, called 2012: Science & Prophecy of the Ancient Maya.

San Francisco, California - Maya Scholar Dr. Mark Van Stone Thursday announced that beginning Nov. 21 and running until Dec. 21, daily emails, texts and web postings will be available to highlight and debunk the many myths that have been perpetuated about the upcoming end of the Maya calendar in 36 days.

Available through Claxton Creative online, the publisher of his book for iPad, 2012: Science & Prophecy of the Ancient Maya, Dr. Van Stone said each daily update will feature one of the more common "predictions" that have been wrongly projected onto the Maya, and answered with helpful resources to debunk them.

"There are dozens of misconceptions, myths and just plain wrong pseudo-scientific claims that have been cast upon the innocent Maya and now that we're under 40 days before the end of their calendar, I expect them to grow in number," Dr. Van Stone said. "To counter the non-sense, we have assembled a list of 30 myths and we're going to focus on educating the public on how wrong they are."

Among the chief misconceptions Van Stone said he will address are:
* The frequent misuse of the Aztec Calendar Stone to represent the Maya calendar
* The galactic alignment will cause the earth to be sucked into the heart of the universe
* Massive pole shifts will cause major magnetic disruptions around the world
* There will be massive earthquakes
* We will enter a new era of blissful human consciousness

To subscribe to the daily messages, parents, teachers, and children who are hearing about the predictions and are concerned, can visit Claxton Creative online and register to receive daily emails, texts, or can log on to read more.

"We want to get the word out to the public. Already we're hearing daily from parents who say their son or daughter heard something at school and are very scared about what's going to happen on Dec. 21, 2012," Dr. Van Stone said. "As a scholar, but even more importantly, as a father myself, I feel there's a duty to ensure as many people get the right information about this as is possible. There is so much bad information out there. In many ways it's become sickening."

Van Stone is recognized internationally and in the field of Maya studies as one of four Maya scholars who have written a book about the 2012 phenomena that should be taken seriously.

In August, he released his first book for iPad, which is 179 pages long, has 53 videos of 14 additional Maya scholars, four 3D animations, and hundreds of interactive multi-touch images.
