Vodio App Adds New Search and Facebook, Twitter and YouTube Channels - Published on 11/15/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
California based Vodio today announces Vodio Video Magazine 2.1.0, an update to its top-rated personalized video discovery app for iOS. Vodio Video Magazine allows users to create video channels around any topic that may interest them. Version 2.1.0 introduces new search functionality, and users can now to convert Facebook or Twitter pages into a video channel, and add video channels directly from YouTube. These updates further expand Vodio's efforts to become a complete social digest tool.
Cupertino, California - Vodio, the personalized video discovery app for iPad and iPhone, announced today the addition of a new search functionality to its top-rated app that allows users to create video channels around any topic that may interest them. Additionally, users can now to convert Facebook or Twitter pages into a video channel, and add video channels directly from YouTube. These updates further expand Vodio's efforts to become a complete social digest tool by allowing users to add localized content beyond their personal social feeds.
Vodio gives users a one-stop-shop platform on which they can watch, discover, and share videos from across the web. The new updates let social video watchers further customize their app experience to suit their personal tastes and preferences. The new search function allows for discovery on any given topic via channels recommended by Vodio. Beyond recommendations from already existing channels and videos offered by Vodio, now, relevant channels from YouTube and pages from Facebook and Twitter will be searched and Vodio will convert those into a video channel, all in one simple click.
Vodio, with its highly refined and artfully designed interface, provides users with a seamless experience for discovering and watching videos on the iPhone and iPad. The app combines the advanced interface elements of some of the most popular apps with a strong emphasis on intuitiveness and simplicity, letting users easily swipe through the different channels of content to discover the videos they want to see.
"Our goal is to give our users the easiest entry point for video consumption with the most natural and intuitive video experience available on the iPad and iPhone," said Jonathan Messika, CEO of Vodio Labs. "We wanted to take the experience of finding videos beyond the act of merely subscribing to a certain feed of content, and rather create a system that pulls together all the videos available out there on the web and create channels that would match the things you're interested in."
Vodio is also highly intelligent in the way it searches for, and organizes video content. Beyond simply displaying the videos that are tagged by a certain topic or category, the app is able to show videos that have been shared about or by an individual or media outlet. If a blog posts a video in an article, that video will be displayed in the channel right alongside videos that the blog has produced on its own to create a more whole overview of that blog.
"If someone enjoys reading The Rolling Stone magazine for instance, we have a reason to believe his interests go beyond just videos produced by the magazine, such as interviews or reviews," Messika added. "They may also want to view new video clips by various artists, live performances and any other videos related to or shared by the magazine on its website and through various social networks."
Several apps aggregate video content, whether it's directly from YouTube, using Twitter, Facebook or any other combination of social networks. Most of these apps pull in content based on feeds that are fixed at the source. Vodio, however, is able track videos as they are shared by thousands of sources, classify them into the various categories and surface the most popular videos for users based on their personal taste and preferences. Vodio learns from the user's own behavior within the app as well as their social graph (Facebook, Twitter etc.) what videos they would be interested in.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 5.5 MB

Best Apps For Kids Presents Penelope - Published on 11/15/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dubbed an approduction by its developers, Penelope is the first work based on the manuscripts and music of transmedia author Cornelius Addison. The app has been constructed in Berlin with the involvement of master animators, illustrators, musicians and programmers. An innovative debut from the Addison's Tales Digital Book Label, the app was developed especially for mobile devices. It includes original music, animations and a dash of interactivity for a very new kind of storytelling experience.
Port Orange, Florida - Dubbed an approduction by its developers, Penelope is the first work based on the manuscripts and music of transmedia author Cornelius Addison. The app has been constructed in Berlin with the involvement of master animators, illustrators, musicians and programmers. Wivern Creator, Director Jerome Goerke believes Penelope to be a groundbreaking development in the field of digital storytelling for older children, in that the music, animation and interactivity has been choreographed by the writer and not just 'added on'.
"The animated and musical elements in Penelope can be regarded as plot developments, humorous asides or interludes in the story," Goerke says. "The two Enlivened Rhymes in Penelope, for example, enable the reader to hear the songs sung by the characters in the story while giving them a glimpse into the character's imagination as they sing. We do this by starting with a black and white page illustration that comes to life with music and animation. It is Tolkien's idea digitalized."
The music from the Enlivened Rhymes is already available on iTunes in the form of a digital EP. An in-app purchase complete with sound effects is also available for those who prefer to listen to the author read his work.
"A lot of work went into getting the audio version of the story just right to ensure readers have an exceptional experience in every part of the app," Goerke says.
Wivern also recently announced that work has commenced on their next approduction, Harry the Huntsman, for readers aged 7-9.
"Our long term goal is to conjure up a bit of digital magic for every age group, so that the very young can look forward to longer and more complex stories as they grow older," Goerke says. "Our aim at the moment is to create titles for kids where there is a stronger focus on plot, with the animated elements acting more as digital literary hooks to keep the reader surprised and engaged rather than distracting them from the storyline."
The Penelope trailer and download is viewable our site listed below. Teachers can access the sheet music by signing up to the fan site where students can also have their own characters uploaded for peer review by other children around the world. In saving the best for last - Penelope will be free to download this weekend in the iTunes App Store!
Device Requirements:
* Requires iPad with iOS 4.0 or later
* 10.8 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Penelope 1.0.32 is normally $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Books category. It will be free to download this weekend.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dubbed an approduction by its developers, Penelope is the first work based on the manuscripts and music of transmedia author Cornelius Addison. The app has been constructed in Berlin with the involvement of master animators, illustrators, musicians and programmers. An innovative debut from the Addison's Tales Digital Book Label, the app was developed especially for mobile devices. It includes original music, animations and a dash of interactivity for a very new kind of storytelling experience.
Port Orange, Florida - Dubbed an approduction by its developers, Penelope is the first work based on the manuscripts and music of transmedia author Cornelius Addison. The app has been constructed in Berlin with the involvement of master animators, illustrators, musicians and programmers. Wivern Creator, Director Jerome Goerke believes Penelope to be a groundbreaking development in the field of digital storytelling for older children, in that the music, animation and interactivity has been choreographed by the writer and not just 'added on'.
"The animated and musical elements in Penelope can be regarded as plot developments, humorous asides or interludes in the story," Goerke says. "The two Enlivened Rhymes in Penelope, for example, enable the reader to hear the songs sung by the characters in the story while giving them a glimpse into the character's imagination as they sing. We do this by starting with a black and white page illustration that comes to life with music and animation. It is Tolkien's idea digitalized.
The music from the Enlivened Rhymes is already available on iTunes in the form of a digital EP. An in-app purchase complete with sound effects is also available for those who prefer to listen to the author read his work.
"A lot of work went into getting the audio version of the story just right to ensure readers have an exceptional experience in every part of the app," Goerke says.
Wivern also recently announced that work has commenced on their next approduction, Harry the Huntsman, for readers aged 7-9.
"Our long term goal is to conjure up a bit of digital magic for every age group, so that the very young can look forward to longer and more complex stories as they grow older," Goerke says. "Our aim at the moment is to create titles for kids where there is a stronger focus on plot, with the animated elements acting more as digital literary hooks to keep the reader surprised and engaged rather than distracting them from the storyline."
The Penelope trailer and download is viewable our site listed below. Teachers can access the sheet music by signing up to the fan site where students can also have their own characters uploaded for peer review by other children around the world. In saving the best for last - Penelope will be free to download this weekend in the iTunes App Store!
Device Requirements:
* Requires iPad with iOS 4.0 or later
* 10.8 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Penelope 1.0.32 is normally $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Books category. It will be free to download this weekend.

Multiplayer Mobile Game Shadowgun: DeadZone Available On iOS and Android - Published on 11/15/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Shadowgun: DeadZone 1.0, the multiplayer sequel to the fan-favorite third-person shooter Shadowgun from Madfinger Games, hits both the App Store and Google Play today. Experience heroic multiplayer battles that have never been seen on mobile device before. The visually stunning multiplayer game brings easy-to-use intuitive touch controls and visual detail typically reserved for console gaming systems to iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
Brno, Czech Republic - Shadowgun: DeadZone allows gamers to experience immersive tactical multiplayer combat on their mobile devices. Up to 12 players can battle online on various maps with 10 different playable characters and a rich variety of game content. Moreover, Madfinger Games promises to continue to support the game: "We plan to add new items, gadgets, maps and game modes," confirmed Marek Rabas, CEO at Madfinger Games.
Madfinger Games has again worked in conjunction with big industry names such as Unity, Nvidia and now with Ericsson as well. In addition to game pad support, Shadowgun: DeadZone includes a multiplayer voice chat exclusively developed and provided by Ericsson. This completely new service has never been implemented in a mobile multiplayer game to this extent before.
Shadowgun: DeadZone is available on both iOS and Android free to play. Players can also make a premium account to get exclusive benefits. "It has nothing to do with a 'Pay to Win' system. We've been very careful about spending money in the game. Neither IAP nor the premium account gives you any advantages in gameplay, it just helps you advance faster," pointed out Marek Rabas.
Shadowgun: DeadZone is available on iOS devices with at least 512 MB RAM (including iPod touch 5. gen, iPad 2 and iPhone 4) and will be also supported on Android devices with version 3.0 Honeycomb and higher.
"Madfinger is one of the best studios using Unity today and really understand how to take our technology and make it sing," said David Helgason, CEO, Unity Technologies. "The multiplayer of Shadowgun: Deadzone is another showcase piece that makes us all proud."
"Madfinger Games continues to develop amazing content that plays brilliantly on Tegra-powered devices," said Ashu Rege, Vice President, Game Content & Technology at Nvidia. "As the beta cycles have shown, Shadowgun: DeadZone is yet another triumph and we're thrilled to have helped the team launch each stage of the project."
"We are excited to work with Marek and his talented team at Madfinger Games. This game, Shadowgun: DeadZone, will set a new standard for iOS & Android games and we are thrilled to see how our voice service adds another dimension to an already fantastic game," said Mathias Linder, Head of Global Sales & Marketing, Ericsson In Game Communication.

It is described as easy to learn, hard to master, and always exciting.

Richmond, California - Studio Pina is proud to introduce Ba-bomb! for iPad 1.0, described as easy to learn, hard to master, and always exciting. Ba-Bomb! has players blasting groups of colored bombs and creating explosive chain reactions while dealing with rocks, dud bombs, squids and giant bombs as they fill their punch cards to earn bonuses.

Quest mode delivers an engrossing puzzle based RPG quest that has players taking on the role of Pengi the Penguin on a mission to save the land from evil invaders. Players journey across the 4 island worlds as they defeat strange enemies, earn gold and purchase new skills and abilities. Quest mode is a lighthearted adventure that is designed to delight players of all ages and skill levels.

Powerful new search options: DEVONagent 3.4 - Published on 11/16/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DEVONtechnologies, LLC today updates all editions of DEVONagent to version 3.4, its popular smart research assistant developed exclusively for Mac OS X. DEVONagent helps you search more efficiently on the web. It searches multiple sources for relevant results, and gives you power tools for your research. Version 3.4 offers new search options, improvements and bug fixes. Both DEVONagent Pro and DEVONagent Express 3.4 come with a number of improved default search sets, plugins, and scanners.
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho - DEVONtechnologies, LLC updates all editions of DEVONagent to version 3.4 with new search options, improvements, and bug fixes. DEVONagent Pro is a search tool that allows you to search on the Internet with full control and powerful options. One of them is the ability to follow links that look promising. DEVONagent Pro 3.4 makes this option even more powerful. Let it follow all links, only links leading to the same site, the same directory, or its sub-directories. Define with an additional query how exactly a "promising" link looks like.
Another strong feature is DEVONagent Pro's capability to scan a list of sites, download the pages, and find those that match your query. Version 3.4 allows to alternatively search the sites using common search engines, download the found results, and analyze them. Create your own site-specific search without writing your own plugin.
Both DEVONagent Pro and DEVONagent Express 3.4 come with a number of improved default search sets, plugins, and scanners. Search sets are combinations of search parameters, actions, and a schedule. Plugins tell DEVONagent how to talk to a search engine and scanners filter pages e.g. for links, RSS feeds, images, or Office documents. The enhanced Wikipedia and Wiktionary plugins, for example, search the local sites using the selected language.
Of course the updates for all three editions - Pro, Express, and Lite - bring performance and reliability improvements as well as the obligatory bug fixes. We recommend the update for all users.
"If you are serious about searching then DEVONagent Pro is for you. The extensive list of ready-to-use search sets, plugins, and scanners, the mighty search options, and the ability to write your own plugins, make it the most powerful Internet search tool for the Mac. And if you want to search a website or search engine which we don't support out of the box, write your own plugin or use the new site search feature," says Eric Bohnisch-Volkmann, DEVONtechnologies' President.
Pricing and Availability:
All editions of DEVONagent require OS X 10.6.8 or later. DEVONagent Pro and Express can be downloaded as free trial versions from www.devontechnologies.com.

Steam Patriots: Steampunk American Revolution Book App on Kickstarter - Published on 11/16/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Noble Beast launches the Steam Patriots crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. Steam Patriots is an interactive book app project based on the history of the American Revolution. It features the founding fathers of the United States battling the British with steampunk technology in this work of speculative fiction. Imagine the War of American Independence fought by flying airships where soldiers exchange cannon fire far above the fray of steam-powered tanks, smoke-belching steamcycles and more.
Minneapolis, Minnesota - Noble Beast is launching a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to fund the Steam Patriots series of interactive book apps. Steam Patriots will be a series of five fictional stories that merges steampunk with the story of the unfolding of the American Revolution.
Bringing the future of digital publishing to the present, the Steam Patriots book apps will include engaging features of animation, diagrams, interactive maps and audio, along with social features that allow readers to share comments within the story with other readers. The series will be published on multiple platforms including ebook, iPad app, printed book, audiobook, web app and Braille.
Steampunk is a speculative fiction genre of literature, art, and music based on the Victorian aesthetic and updated with steam-powered technology.
Imagine the War of American Independence fought by flying airships where soldiers exchange cannon fire far above the fray of steam-powered tanks, smoke-belching steamcycles and soldiers with semi-automatic muskets.
The Steam Patriots story follows Felix, a young man who crosses the thirteen colonies battling Red Coats while meeting some of the most important historical figures in US History. Felix becomes the prot�g� of Benjamin Franklin, a spy for George Washington, and a boon companion to the patriot-pirate John Paul Jones.
Everything the founding fathers experienced in the pursuit of Liberty presents itself to Felix in a very personal way. Felix suffers horribly at Valley Forge, fights valiantly at Yorktown, and witnesses the formation of a more perfect union.
"Steampunk set in the American Revolution has never been done before, but we've got a fantastic story, remarkable art, and the drive to see it through,� said Noble Beast producer-director, Richard Monson-Haefel.

Amazing Nature Flashcards App from Kodee's Canoe - Published on 11/16/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Vancouver based Nitrogen Studios introduces Kodee's Canoe Nature Flashcards 1.0, the second App to the Kodee's Canoe lineup developed exclusively for iPad. Kodee's Canoe strives to inspire young kids to get outside and start exploring! Kodee's Canoe "Nature Flashcards" is a premium educational App focusing on words and images from the great outdoors. With over 60 nature based cards, 3 languages and direct links to online animated content, this is a must have on every parent's app list.
Vancouver, Canada - Nitrogen Studios adds a second App to the Kodee's Canoe lineup, and "Nature Flashcards" is a fantastic blend of educational content and gorgeous design. With over 60 nature based cards, 3 languages and direct links to online animated content, this is a must have on every parent's app list.
Kodee's Canoe "Nature Flashcards" is a premium educational App focusing on words and images from the great outdoors. By combining technology and a love for nature, Kodee's Canoe strives to inspire young kids to get outside and start exploring! There are over 60 cards that showcase animals and nature, each with their own interactive animation, and are all based on the world of Kodee's Canoe. Also, the initial launch of the app includes English, French and Spanish versions of each card, so learning basic vocabulary in multiple languages becomes engaging and fun!
"Educational Apps are an exciting way to introduce young kids to new ideas, learn basic vocabulary, or even introduce a new language, but far to often the graphics or designs are lacking the visual stimulation that kids deserve to have." says Nicole Stinn, CEO of Nitrogen Studios. "Why not strive to combine beautiful designs and great animation with solid educational content? It's a great way to keep children engaged with educational content and makes learning that much more fun."
There are a lot of Apps and television shows in the pre-school marketplace, but very few have the sophisticated DreamWorks or Pixar type production values seen in animated movies geared toward the older child. It is not surprising that Kodee's Canoe breaks the mould in this regard considering that it was conceived and created by Nicole Stinn and Greg Tiernan, the Producer and Director of one of the world's most popular pre-school brands "Thomas & Friends". A mega-star amongst the toddler brigade, Thomas the Tank Engine was transformed by the team at Nitrogen Studios from a charming but dated model train TV show to a slick CGI production.
Feature Highlights:
* All flashcards come alive with beautiful, interactive CGI animations and sound effects
* Tap the text to hear the displayed word: helps teach kids to associate the spelling and pronunciation of the word with the image
* Multiple language support read aloud by native language speakers. Choose between English, French and Spanish; a fun way to introduce kids to a new language
* Interact with cute animals and fun objects from the world of Kodee's Canoe
* Easy navigation for parents and kids
* Select the order in which cards are displayed: alphabetical or random
Device Requirements:
* Compatible with all iPads
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 392 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Kodee's Canoe Nature Flashcards 1.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies)and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Vancouver, Canada - Nitrogen Studios adds a second App to the Kodee's Canoe lineup, and "Nature Flashcards" is a fantastic blend of educational content and gorgeous design. With over 60 nature based cards, 3 languages and direct links to online animated content, this is a must have on every parent's app list.
Kodee's Canoe "Nature Flashcards" is a premium educational App focusing on words and images from the great outdoors. By combining technology and a love for nature, Kodee's Canoe strives to inspire young kids to get outside and start exploring! There are over 60 cards that showcase animals and nature, each with their own interactive animation, and are all based on the world of Kodee's Canoe. Also, the initial launch of the app includes English, French and Spanish versions of each card, so learning basic vocabulary in multiple languages becomes engaging and fun!
"Educational Apps are an exciting way to introduce young kids to new ideas, learn basic vocabulary, or even introduce a new language, but far to often the graphics or designs are lacking the visual stimulation that kids deserve to have." says Nicole Stinn, CEO of Nitrogen Studios. "Why not strive to combine beautiful designs and great animation with solid educational content? It's a great way to keep children engaged with educational content and makes learning that much more fun."
There are a lot of Apps and television shows in the pre-school marketplace, but very few have the sophisticated DreamWorks or Pixar type production values seen in animated movies geared toward the older child. It is not surprising that Kodee's Canoe breaks the mould in this regard considering that it was conceived and created by Nicole Stinn and Greg Tiernan, the Producer and Director of one of the world's most popular pre-school brands "Thomas & Friends". A mega-star amongst the toddler brigade, Thomas the Tank Engine was transformed by the team at Nitrogen Studios from a charming but dated model train TV show to a slick CGI production.
Feature Highlights:
* All flashcards come alive with beautiful, interactive CGI animations and sound effects
* Tap the text to hear the displayed word: helps teach kids to associate the spelling and pronunciation of the word with the image
