Steti iPad or Tablet stand - Published on 12/04/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Steti is here. It's the best iPad or tablet stand. It's thin and light and easy to use, move and store. Designed to be light enough to move easily but strong enough to hold the weight of an iPad or Tablet, Steti allows users to use the camera on their device and can be placed in any position thanks to the strong flexible arm, rotating cradle, and swivel base.

Kenosha, Wisconsin - Steti gives you the user several reasons why it's the better stand. Here's why in several parts:

First, we have found so many uses for Steti that we have taken advantage of, but the primary design came from my arms falling asleep while I was holding the iPad in bed. I know this is a common problem that people share as many of the iPad or tablet owners have stated the same problem. We designed Steti to be light enough to move easily but strong enough to hold the weight of your iPad or Tablet. Steti allows you to use the camera on your device and can be placed in any position thanks to the strong flexible arm, rotating cradle, and swivel base.

Uses Steti for:
* Watching a movie while laying on the bed or sofa comfortably
* Use as a stand for Skypeing or Facetime
* In the kitchen as your recipe holder
* Make a kiosk stand with your tablet
* Steti is a great set of extra hands for the iPad or tablet and gives you the freedom to be comfortable allows you to relax

The integrated sound scoop in the custom cradle redirects the audio and magnifies the sound toward the user. This sound scoop enables them enjoy the audio clearly without additional accessories or headphones. It is a great concept with such a simple and minimal design.

The bendable support arm has unlimited articulation. Easily bend and shape the Steti arm into position, and place your tablet where you prefer. This component comes in slimming black and later models will be available in stark white. The arm easily connects and disconnects by inserting the end into the base mount, no funny business just plug and play. The arm features a full 360 degree rotation at the base, giving the user more versatility while using Steti. The user can easily separate the arm from the base, and allows for easy, compact storage. The base is sturdy and made of lightweight material and will be finished in a clear finish to show the natural beauty of the wood.

The cradle is made of sturdy yet flexible plastic allowing the use for Ipad2 and Ipad3 directly out of the box. Made from plastic that won't harm your tablet but provides enough tension to hold your iPad or tablet in place securely. With the additional adapter, users will be able to incorporate the use of the Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD, and the Google Nexus 7, giving you 5 options in just 1 stand. Steti is the perfect partner for the biggest brands.

We developed a cam system and integrated it into the cradle. The cam system allows the user to position the cradle in a desired setting holding your device at the perfect angle. With the designed cam system, the user is able to rotate the cradle 360 degrees, yet keeping firm while typing or pressing on the screen.

Final assembly of Steti, will be done here in the United States.

Both Eric Barden and Gordon Crum joined forces and started Spring Board Idea Co. we collaborated on the ideas stuck in our heads...thus Steti. Check out Steti on Kickstarter, and make a pledge to support us and get your own Steti stand!

I don't always solve puzzle apps; but when I do, I prefer Gryptics. Why? Because this sultry and deceptively simple game combines the logic rush of Sudoku with the wordplay of crosswords, and its 2.0.1 version (iPhone friendly!) is now available free in the iTunes Store.

You're given a few letters in and around the grid to get you started, plus up to three hints along the way. As in Scrabble, no proper names are used in Gryptics.

The app is free and comes with 10 puzzles; additional bundles are available for 99 cents each, ranging in difficulty, from easy to killer.

Gryptics is crosswords evolved, so evolve along with us. Won't you?

Sight Words Learn to Read for iOS - Kids Recognize the Most Common Words - Published on 12/05/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer Karina Ranaldi today introduces Sight Words Learn to Read 1.0 for iOS, her app that helps pre-schoolers and kindergarteners learn to recognize the most frequently used words by sight. Since some of these words cannot be sounded out, they must be learned by sight. Based on the well-known Dolch Sight Word List of 220 "service words" required to achieve basic fluency in reading, the app provides entertaining practice through a 3D animated game where fish swim by with a word on them.

Sydney, Australia - Indie developer Karina Ranaldi today is pleased to introduce Sight Words Learn to Read 1.0 for iOS, her app that helps pre-schoolers and kindergarteners learn to recognize the most frequently used words by sight. Since some of these words cannot be sounded out, they must be learned by sight. Based on the well-known Dolch Sight Word List of 220 "service words" required to achieve basic fluency in reading, the app provides entertaining practice through a 3D animated game, where fish swim across the screen with a word on them. At the start of each round, one sight word is announced aloud and written in text onscreen, and Kids must tap on each fish they see with that word.

According to Wikipedia, "The Dolch Word List is a list of frequently used words compiled by Edward William Dolch, PhD, a major proponent of the "whole-word" method of beginning reading instruction. The list was originally published in his book Problems in Reading in 1948. The list contains 220 "service words" that have to be easily recognized in order to achieve reading fluency in the English language. The compilation excludes nouns, which comprise a separate 95-word list. These lists of words are still assigned for memorization in American elementary schools. Although most of the 220 Dolch words are phonetic, children are sometimes told that they can't be "sounded out" using common sound-to-letter implicit phonics patterns and have to be learned by sight; hence the alternative term, "sight word."

"Players have 45 seconds to correctly tap on fish displaying the announced word, which is read aloud by a professional voiceover artist at the start of each round. Kids must correctly tap on a minimum of 10 or a maximum of 15 instances of the announced word in each round,� points out Ranaldi. "Played in portrait orientation, most animated fish swimming from left to right will display sight words that are not the announced word. However, according to Ranaldi, "there is no penalty for incorrect choices, but 10 correct answers are necessary to complete each round."
