Pick words, record clues and stump your friends with Listen Up! for iOS! - Published on 12/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Delaware based AppSLAW, LLC today announces the release of Listen Up! for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Listen Up! is a wildly engaging, new turn-based word puzzle game where the key to winning is all about decoding audio clues from opponents! Emphasizing player creativity, this game makes connecting with friends, family, and strangers a blast, all while offering a completely new take on the most popular mobile gaming genre today!

Wilmington, Delaware - AppSLAW, LLC, an emerging mobile applications and games developer, is excited to announce the launch of Listen Up! on the App Store. Compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, this new socially minded guessing experience takes turn-based puzzle gaming to a whole new creative level! The aim of the game is simple - players pick a word and record sound clips for their opponents to hear and guess what the word might be. After recording, the app sends off the recording to the other player to Listen Up! and guess. The better the recorded sound clips are, the more audio puzzles that are guessed correctly, and earning more "mic" points to use in various ways within the game! Created to connect tech savvy gamers and encourage them to get creative and goofy together, Listen Up! is currently available on the App Store for free in the Games category.

They player's mission is to record sound bites that describe words and challenge friends to guess the words. Starting a new game is easy. Players simply invite their Facebook friends to play, search out specific Listen Up! gamertags and email contacts to connect with, or find a random opponent to go head to head with! The next step is to pick an Easy, Medium, or Hard word and record an audio clip, making whichever sounds or phrases believed best to describe that word. The only real rule is not to mention the actual word itself.

Listen Up! has a unique "mic" point system that rewards players based on the degree of difficulty of the word. The harder the word, the more "mic" points to be earned. "Mic" points can then be used to unlock funny visual hints to help guess the word. Convenient audio recording options are available giving players the power to record, review, and re-record their audio clues effectively. The game gives players the ability to view hints to help solve incoming audio clips, a "Pass" option if they give up but want to keep playing, and a unique "Susie Soundmaster" feature that lets players nominate awesomely epic sound bites possibly to win weekly and monthly prizes. Listen Up! is primed to be the next social game gaining buzz around the watercooler!

Device Requirements:
* iOS 4.3 or later
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad

Karaoke Guitar for Christmas - iPad app lets non-musicians play songs - Published on 12/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

instruMagic, the company behind Songful guitar app (launched November by Ultimate Guitar) today is proud to announce a free edition including Christmas Carols. This "Karaoke Guitar" app is unique in that it lets users with no musical background play songs on their iPad. In contrast to Tap Tap style music games, instruMagic's apps are real musical instruments, just easy to play. Once a song is selected, its lyrics are displayed and the user can switch through the song's chords with a single tap.

Tel Aviv, Israel - On November of this year, an app that threatens to revolutionize the music-playing scene was born. Songful guitar app (developed by instruMagic, launched by Ultimate-Guitar) gives non-musicians the ability to play any song on an iPad guitar. The magic lies in the fact that the songs are included within the app (Songful contains the entire Ultimate-Guitar database of over 200,000 songs). Once a song is selected, its lyrics are displayed, and the user can switch through the song's chords with a single tap, while strumming the strings free-style.

"This takes Tap Tap style music games to a whole new level, by allowing non-musicians to really play songs, not just get an experience that's overlaying a game", says Eyal Eldar, CEO of instruMagic. "From the other end, it dramatically lowers the barrier to playing musical instruments, as it allows non-musicians to play songs on their mobile devices."

Eyal adds: "Karaoke Guitar for iPad" is an opportunity for users to get the Songful experience for free, before deciding if they'd like to purchase Songful app."

Device Requirements:
* iOS 5.0 or later
* Compatible with iPad
* 57.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Karaoke Guitar for Christmas 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Music category.

Located in Tel Aviv, Israel, instruMagic creates "Ultra-Friendly Music Playing Apps" that allow non-musicians to play music on their Mobile devices.

IT Challenged by Pace of Mobile Device Adoption - Published on 12/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

According to a recent survey of IT professionals by the Enterprise Device Alliance, management software implementations in large organizations are lagging the IT departments' increasing security concerns. IT administrators are concerned about the race between demand for access and security threats. This survey asked IT to comment on the issues and indicate how their organization was dealing with these challenges.

Sunnyvale, California - IT managers, constrained by fixed headcounts, believe that the challenge of security is the most important issue for enterprises whose employees are using mobile devices according to a November survey conducted by the Enterprise Device Alliance (EDA). At the same time, selection and deployment of security solutions has fallen short of their own expectations perhaps due to staff limitations or the rapid pace of change in the marketplace.

Compared to the same survey conducted last year, the respondents seemed more aware and even more concerned about the security implications of adopting mobile devices. For instance, "devices don't meet our security standards" (65%) replaced "devices are too easy to steal/lose" (59%) as the number one reason that limits organizations' willingness to support employees using a mobile device.

The security concerns had several implications for the Administrators. First, more than 40% of the organizations are constraining the use of mobile devices because of the difficulty of making them compliant with government and industry regulations. Second, 64% of IT administrators (up from 56% in 2011) believe the use of consumer solutions such as Dropbox or Gmail for work activities compromises security. Consumer solutions are losing their acceptability, so organizations are looking for secure enterprise-managed alternative solutions.

The Impact of BYOD:
Compounding the security issue is the pervasiveness of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies that allow employees to use their own smartphone or tablet. This year, 86% of the respondents said that their organization allows some degree of BYOD, up from 75% a year ago. The survey revealed that even among the largest organizations, those with more than 10,000 employees, more than four fifths (81%) allowed some employees to bring their own devices and that IT would support them to some degree. Allowing BYOD adds the complication of separating, isolating and securing company information, access, and applications from personal information and applications.

"Enterprise IT has stepped up to the onslaught of mobile device deployments in 2012. However, our survey reveals that many IT organizations are still not adding staff to manage mobile devices and are slow to invest in tools to help with the challenge. This could cost companies competitiveness and delay solutions that reduce security risks," said T. Reid Lewis, president of the Enterprise Device Alliance and co-founder of GroupLogic, an Acronis company. "The Enterprise Device Alliance conducted the survey to help IT professionals make the best choices for their organizations by arming them with an aggregate view of the plans of their peers. We also provide examples of solutions to some of these issues that are proven in the marketplace."

How they are managing now:
The respondents report that they expect increases in demand for new hardware, software, end user applications, help desk support and related technology and service demands, but very few expect any additional staffing. They also anticipate that they will need to learn more management tools specific to mobile devices. The IT professionals responding to the survey appear to be as conscientious as their respective organizations allow. A particularly telling response: 20% said that users are using consumer solutions: "It's not really acceptable, but we don't have an alternative."

Currently these IT professionals are trying everything they can to manage smartphones and tablets, including BYOD devices. First they are applying technology: the most commonly used management application is Exchange ActiveSync. However 68% use two or more management utilities, with some using as many as six. In 2011, only 16% of organizations with more than 500 employees reported using Mobile Device Management solutions. The 2011 respondents expected the number of organizations using MDM users to more than triple to 50% by the end of 2012. However it has peaked at 38% so far, with another 22% planning to add MDM in 2013.

Second they are establishing standard configurations: in 2011 55% reported that they provide a standard configuration for mobile devices; in 2012 73% provide some standard configuration. The standard configuration most often includes mail support (57%), a custom address book (25%) and a Mobile Device Management (MDM) client (38%.

Other noteworthy findings of the survey include:
* 70% of the organizations expect to have completed their pilot testing of tablets and moved to production deployment by the end of next compared to 55% last year
* More than 70% are using (or want to use) Microsoft Active Directory for authentication

About the survey:
This second annual survey sought to learn the impact of smartphones and tablets on large organizations and the IT administrators who are tasked to manage and support them. The online survey was conducted from November 16 to October December 8, 2012. Respondents are in commercial, government and educational organizations with more than 100 employees. More than 70% of the respondents were from organizations with more than 500 employees. A complete report (PDF) of the findings and an on-demand webinar analyzing the survey results are available at Enterprise Device Alliance online.

Enterprise Device Alliance members comment on the implications of the survey data:

GroupLogic:
"The 2012 EDA survey data shows that 64% of IT staffers in enterprise IT view consumer solutions like Dropbox(TM) as security risks, and they need secure, enterprise-ready alternatives," said T. Reid Lewis, co-founder of GroupLogic, an Acronis Company. "Our mobilEcho 'mobile file management (MFM)' solution provides an easy to use, secure, and centrally managed alternative to consumer solutions such as Dropbox."

Centrify:
"The growing popularity among employees for Mac and mobile devices is requiring organizations to support and manage additional platforms in their environment," said Frank Cabri, Centrify vice president of marketing. "The majority of the surveyed organizations said they want to utilize Microsoft Active Directory to manage their mobile devices. They understand that it make sense to leverage that same infrastructure to easily and cost-effectively centralize administration and management of all users, Macs and other devices, and to give end users Active Directory-based single sign-on (SSO) from their mobile devices to SaaS apps and other cloud resources."

Absolute Software:
"The results of the EDA survey reflect the reality faced by most of our customers. Tablets and other ultra-portable devices are definitely entering business deployments, either as corporate- and/or employee-owned devices. And the number one concern on the part of IT is how to adequately secure these form factors and the corporate data they may access and contain," said Peter Frankl, vice president for Lifecycle Management at Absolute Software. "The most surprising result is the rapid rate of growth. This exceeded our expectations and only emphasizes the need for IT to act now."
