QuickerTek Announces New CIGS 62 Watt Solar Juicz - Published on 01/24/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

QuickerTek announces a new 62 Watt Solar Juicz power charger. This new higher performance charger with fast-charging technology that uses Copper Indium Gallium DiSelenide (CIGS), yields amazing efficiency that results in higher output in a smaller form factor at a reduced cost. Available for significantly less than the 55 Watt Solar Juicz, Apple MacBook Pro, Retina display and MacBook Air users now have the freedom solar power offers and the satisfaction of lowering the carbon footprint.

Wichita, Kansas - QuickerTek, the technology leader in mobile power and wireless networking for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) computers, announces the 62 Watt Solar Juicz solar power charger. This a new, higher performance solar charger with new faster-charging technology that packs more power in a smaller size. Apple MacBook Pro, Retina display and MacBook Air users now have the freedom solar power offers and the satisfaction of lowering the carbon footprint.

QuickerTek packs an impressive improvement in efficiency of more than 39% over our previous Solar Juicz model as a direct result of using new technology as well as a philosophy of continual improvement. Faster charge time is provided by higher wattage (62 Watts vs 55 Watts of previous model). Of course, users can charge the laptop battery while using the Solar Juicz at the same time - something not possible using other solar products. If you have sunlight, you have power, whenever you need it.

Solar Juicz users gain 1.5 to 2 times greater power than more common thin-film flexible solar materials, by using new Copper Indium Gallium DiSelenide (CIGS). CIGS yields an amazing 10.5 to 11% average efficiency - ideal for power on the go. There is no other CIGS technology solar product available for any Apple device. MacBook users can now spend even more time working away from the wall power outlet. Even if the laptop battery is completely dead, the Solar Juicz charges and powers the MacBook laptop simultaneously.

CIGS technology offers these user benefits:
* Highest efficiency thin-film photo voltaic delivers faster charge times
* Highest efficiency energy produced under varying light conditions makes solar efficient more often
* Raw materials availability helps to reduce prices, while remaining environmentally friendly

The 62 Watt Solar Juicz also comes ready to use right out of the box with either a Apple Magsafe 1 or a Apple Magsafe 2 power cable. This allows users to power and charge a wide variety of mobile devices from Apple. Solar Juicz also charges QuickerTek's extensive line of Apple Juicz external battery products. QuickerTek also regularly makes custom cables for users who need the convenience of solar power for other devices, such as digital still and video cameras.

The solar panel itself is flexible - allowing for easy transport and use. The higher efficiency technology is only 1534 square inches - 40% more compact than the previous 2478 square inches. The lighter and flexbile solar panel also adapts to irregular surfaces better - providing an easy way to use the sun, regardless of the surroundings.

The new 62 Watt Solar Juicz has a new lower Suggested Retail Price of $999.00 USD - available from QuickerTek's worldwide dealer network. Like most QuickerTek products, the new Solar Juicz 62 Watt is backed with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Pete the Postman for iOS: 3D, Twin Stick, Shooter/Strategy/Puzzle Game - Published on 01/25/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

yavadoo today introduces Pete the Postman 1.0 for iOS, its new 3D, twin stick shooter, where players guide Pete as he delivers letters, navigates maze-like terrain, avoids adversaries, and fights chickens and monsters by throwing parcels at them. Featuring detailed, Hi-Res, 3D cartoon graphics & animation, every texture of Pete, the countryside, fences, and houses is rendered impressively on the Retina display. The game includes 3 difficulty settings and 12 levels/environments of gameplay.

Jena, Germany - yavadoo today is pleased to introduce Pete the Postman 1.0 for iOS, its new 3D, twin stick shooter, where players guide Pete as he delivers letters, navigates maze-like terrain, avoids adversaries, and fights chickens and monsters by throwing parcels at them. Featuring detailed, Hi-Res, 3D cartoon graphics & animation, every texture of Pete, the countryside, fences, and houses is rendered impressively on the Retina display. The game includes 3 difficulty settings and 12 levels/environments of gameplay.

Pete the Postman is a living 3D character in his blue uniform and cap. Standing still, his head and arms sway slightly; he is never a frozen robot. The dual stick movement controller allows the player to have Pete spin in place or set out in any direction. The farther the circular controller is dragged from center, the faster he walks. Players can quickly have Pete walking along narrow paths, through gates, and stopping at small, rural mail boxes, where the flag goes up after he delivers the mail. The circular controller is linked to the overhead, three-quarter-view camera. As Pete moves right, the camera moves right. Pete actually stays near the center of the screen as he walks through expansive rural villages, caves, and more. The wide-angle lens provides just enough distortion to emphasize the depth of the scene, and residents can be seen working outside their houses

Feature Highlights:
* Fight the evil chickens
* Defeat the bomb throwing creeps
* Smash the giant wasps
* Shoot the laserbats
* Kill the slimies in the cave
* Don't let Pete be bitten by the razor piranhas
* Avoid the falling stones, tentacles, and stumble roots
* Don't step into a hole or chasm

Each of the 12 different environment/levels (forest, meadow, lake, city, islands in the sky, cave, city at night, etc.) seems to go on forever. Pete never encounters an edge, though there are natural obstacles that prevent his movement in some directions. More than a simple shooter, players must use strategy to reach every mailbox on his route. Besides the large assortment of monsters he must eliminate by throwing parcels, there are dangerous chasms, tree roots, falling rocks, and other challenges. At the Easy setting, an arrow will guide Pete if he loses his way, but at the higher settings, players must figure out the right direction to reach the next mailbox. There are power-ups and surprises (like unexpected camera zooms) along the way, as Pete must complete each level before expending his five lives.

"Pete the Postman has minimal violence and maximal 3D graphics & animation," stated Ralf Sczepan of yavadoo. "A tutorial is included, and there are settings for beginning, experienced, and expert players."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 138 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Pete the Postman 1.0 is $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Review copies are available on request.

Balloonatic Pops onto the App Store - Published on 01/25/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mind Juice Media today introduces Balloonatic 1.0 for iOS, the spiritual successor to their hit game, Charmed. Players get to choose from 3 different balloon types and patterns as they twist & pop their way through 40 unique levels. After matches are made, the remaining balloons float up and make room for new ones. The UltraPop mode is a breathtaking bonanza of bulbous balloon busting that players won't want to put down. It features a quirky and fun new music track, Game Center support and more.

Surrey, Canada - Mind Juice Media today is pleased to announce the immediate release of their latest iOS game, Balloonatic. Balloonatic is the spiritual successor to Mind Juice's hit game, Charmed. Balloonatic is available now on the iTunes App Store for free.

In Balloonatic, players swipe balloons & rotate their iOS devices to twist gravity and make matches. Players get to choose from 3 different balloon types and patterns as they twist and pop their way through 40 unique levels. After matches are made, the remaining balloons float up and make room for new ones. Players can also rotate their devices to change the direction of gravity. This is also necessary in order to complete some of the trickier levels.

In addition to the normal balloons, there are crazy clown balloons. Matching these builds up the player's Clown Power meter in the top right corner of the screen. By tapping the Clown Power meter, players can activate Clown Power. While Clown Power is active, players are able to swipe balloons without the need for them to make a match. This powerful ability allows players to line up multiple matches of up to 9 balloons in a row. Clown Power can also be started and stopped at will.

Mind Juice is also excited to announce the availability of the new UltraPop mode. UltraPop mode is a breathtaking bonanza of bulbous balloon busting that players won't want to put down. In UltraPop mode, puzzles only have 3 different balloon colors, so the matches come fast and furious, making it easy to rack up huge scores.

Balloonatic also features a quirky and fun new music track from Mattias Holmgren of Morningdew Media. The music brings the game to life with its unique melody and instrumentation.

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

Haypi Monster: Where Players Can PVP - Published on 01/25/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Haypi Co., Ltd. announces that over a hundred different monsters dwell in Haypi Monster 1.02, an iOS MMORPG. Haypi Monster has received excellent reviews from its players and is growing at an astonishing rate. In just one short month, it has gained several thousand new players and has gathered praise from both gamers and professional reviewers alike. Haypi Co., Ltd wants to thank its players for the success of this game by gifting one free iPad Mini to a random player every day.

Shanghai, China - Haypi Co., Ltd. announces that over a hundred different monsters dwell in Haypi Monster 1.02, an iOS MMORPG. Haypi Monster has received excellent reviews from its players and is growing at an astonishing rate. In just one short month, it has gained several thousand new players and has gathered praise from both gamers and professional reviewers alike. Haypi Co., Ltd wants to thank its players for the success of this game by gifting one free iPad Mini to a random player every day.

Over a hundred different monsters dwell in Haypi Monster's six different scenes. Each monster has its own unique set of skills: Branchy, the plant-type tree, can regenerate its health through Photosynthesis or launch Poison Petals at its opponents. Pocahoontas, the psychic owl, can attack its opponents with a Mind Game or unnerve them with a War Cry. Each monster in the game belongs to one of eight elements: Physical, Fire, Water, Plant, Earth, Electric, Psychic, and Ghost.

Certain monster types have advantages over others: Crusty, a water-type crab, would have an advantage over Furocious, a fire-type wolf. Armordillo, an earth-type armadillo, would have an advantage over Fright, an electric-type bird. All these advantages and disadvantages come into play in every battle, including ones in the PVP Arena.

In the PVP Arena, players can challenge each other to monster battles. To do so, they must first create a room and select whether they want to fight 1v1 or 2v2. If they select 1v1, the system will automatically match them to an opponent. If they select 2v2, they must wait for another player to join their room and become their teammate. Once they hit Start, the system will automatically match them against another two-player team.

The great thing about Haypi Monster's PVP formula is that all monsters will be set at level 40 when they enter the PVP Arena, regardless of their actual level. This helps new players stand a chance against those much more experienced than they are. That doesn't mean experienced players don't have any advantages of their own, of course! Many have synthesized and bred their monsters for rare baby monsters with powerful base stats.

Players who excel at PVP will get honor points that they can trade in at the Shop for awesome prizes like stat-enhancing armor and new skills for their monsters. These items will help them advance further in the game and collect every monster they can find.

Haypi Monster has gained several thousand new players and has received excellent reviews. The newest iOS MMORPG from Haypi has gathered praise from both gamers and professional reviewers alike. Haypi Co., Ltd wants to thank its players for the success of this game by gifting one free iPad Mini to a random player every day.
