iPhone and iPad Controlled Light Bulb is Award Finalist - Published on 01/31/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

zSmart announces the Mood LED, a Bluetooth Breakthrough Awards finalist for 2012. The worldwide contest is sponsored by the official Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), for the best bluetooth products of 2012. Utilizing an app on a Smart Device, a user can manage an unlimited number of bulbs at once, controlling millions of colors, brightness, and power. The 6 Watt Mood LED will replace a traditional 50 Watt incandescent with an 80% energy savings, and will be available April 1, 2013.

Ann Arbor, Michigan - A new LED light bulb with millions of colors controlled by a Smart Device will make home lighting control easier and more energy efficient.

Available April 1, 2013, the Mood LED by zSmart has been selected as one of 3 worldwide "Breakthrough Prototype Finalists" from official Bluetooth Special Interest Group. The Bluetooth SIG announced the finalists at the 2013 Consumer Electronic Show, showcasing the Mood LED at their media event.

"The zSmart Mood LED light bulb uses Bluetooth Smart technology to allow users the utmost control over their lighting, specifically in regards to color - in prototype form now, this product showcases where Bluetooth technology has the potential to light up home automation scenarios," said Suke Jawanda, Bluetooth SIG CMO.

The Mood LED is a 6 Watt LED light bulb in the shape of a traditional incandescent bulb. With an APP, the Mood LED can change to millions of colors - including white, have the brightness adjusted, and be turned on and off.

A limitless bulb network can be created, or a consumer can simply control one bulb. And, to make it easy to identify and control the Mood LED, each bulb may be given a special name - i.e. "Sarahs Room". All done simply within the free APP.

LEDs are an energy efficient way for consumers to light their homes, yet with the same functionality of a traditional light bulb at a higher cost. This has prevented many consumers from transitioning to LED lighting. zSmart is hoping to draw more consumers to these energy efficient products by providing features and connectivity in an LED bulb that don't currently exist.

So, why Bluetooth?

"We wanted to keep up with the theme of LEDs providing an energy efficient use of electricity. The Mood LED stays away from energy draining routers or other complex networks for feature control with the use of Bluetooth, and are very proud of the recognition from the Bluetooth group" said Arnold Goetzke, zSmart President.

Utilizing Bluetooth 4.0, the Mood LED has a wireless control range of up to 100 feet. This version of Bluetooth is available on the latest iOS products, including the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad2, and iPad mini.

With the Mood LED being equivalent to a 50 watt incandescent bulb, it generates an 80% energy savings.

The Mood LED simply replaces the existing incandescent bulb, with no extra components required. A standard wall switch can still be used to power the bulb ON and OFF when it is not convenient to use a Smart Device.

zSmart has established an IndieGogo campaign for people interested in supporting the Mood LED and being the first to receive the product. Based on a successful campaign, the Mood LED will be available April 1, 2013 with an expected retail price of $49.95. The app will be free.

AlphaDigits Top Rated Apps January 2013 - Published on 01/31/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AlphaDigits names five of the top rated mobile apps every month based on the reviews published in the website during the month. Now, it has named the top rated mobile apps for the month of January. January's highlighted apps include Epic Evil Twins, LifeTopix, Guitar Coach Magazine, Kumoku, and Manifest.

Long Island, New York - AlphaDigits has released the names of top rated mobile apps for January 2013. AlphaDigits names five of the top rated mobile apps every month based on the reviews published in the website during the month. Now, it has named the top rated mobile apps for the month of January.

Here is the list:
* Epic Evil Twins (5/5): It is a nifty little free app for the iPhones and iPads. This well-polished game is available for free, entertains you and doesn't ask anything of you except that you think about candy a little more than is healthy. It stays fun even as you play through with all the upgrades, unlocks, and new characters you could ask for.

* LifeTopix (4.8/5): This app lets users organize their whole life in one place. LifeTopix has 12 topics like - Manage projects and tasks, track services and service providers, maintain shopping lists, track events like birthday parties, coordinate travel, log health metrics, track finances and assets. If LifeTopix does not magically cure that but it definitely helps.

* Guitar Coach Magazine (4.8/5): Guitar Coach Magazine has been designed in such a way so that everyone can have access to this magazine even if they are unable to get the soft copy in hand. This app requires a space of 2.8 MB in total. It is available in English, Russian, Thai, Spanish, French, Danish, Portuguese, German, Italian and Chinese.

* Kumoku (4.7/5): Kumoku is one of the challenging board games, where you actually don't need to crack much of your brain initially. There are different colors you can choose for your board- Cyan, Blue, Green, 3D-Glass, 3D-Wood, and other colors. There are different game modes, One player, Two player and Auto . Sound effects make this game more fun.

* Manifest (4.3/5): Manifest is an application that allows its users to speak out their thoughts and opinions in matters relating to their day to day lives. The main idea here is that if everybody is adequately informed about something that is happening before it happens, they will be able to think about the most effective way of doing it and avoid being taken advantage of.

Joe Ellen, an editor at AlphaDigits said, "We are planning to launch a few new services to market mobile applications and web services and are planning to launch a new site for these services. I hope that I can disclose more details in our next press release."

Developers can contact AlphaDigits through the onsite form to get their apps reviewed.

CWA Game Announces Launch of Action/RPG Title: Sword of Inferno - on iOS - Published on 01/31/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sword of Inferno 1.01, the action/RPG hybrid which has received over 2000 five-star reviews on the Google Play store, with an average rating of 4.6, is hacking and slashing its way to iOS. Charting the story of Matthew the Force Blader and three loyal companions, Sword of Inferno pits players against the evil Inferno forces in a life and death struggle to reclaim the legendary weapon through a series of mystical locales brimming with danger.

Beijing, China - Sword of Inferno 1.01, the action/RPG hybrid which has received over 2000 five-star reviews on the Google Play store, with an average rating of 4.6, is hacking and slashing its way to iOS.

Charting the story of Matthew the Force Blader and three loyal companions, Sword of Inferno pits players against the evil Inferno forces in a life and death struggle to reclaim the legendary weapon through a series of mystical locales brimming with danger. Fans of old-school side-scrolling beat-em-ups and hardcore RPG players will be in for a treat as 'Sword of Inferno' mixes the two genres with stunning results.

Echoing the classic beat-em-ups of the 1990's, the game presents players with side-scrolling environments filled with vibrant and bold characters and unique enemies. It incorporates an Auto-Attack system exclusively designed for smartphones - simply approach the enemy and Matthew will automatically hack and slash, performing multi-hit combos that virtual controls would struggle to replicate. In fact, the entire experience has been optimised for touchscreen devices with intuitive swipe controls allowing the player to get right to the heart of the action.

And that action is of a high calibre indeed. Combo combat may be the foundation of the game, but the ability to harness the power of the elements and cast spells that fill the screen with destructive power, as well as dragon-riding levels really brings the game into its own. Mounting a winged fire-breathing beast and bringing its own special attacks adds a new type of variety to gameplay. Think of it as a vehicular section, but with the ability to eat through your enemies. Literally.

Sword of Inferno also gives the player complete freedom to fashion their own legend with deep RPG and customisation elements, allowing them to create the exact type of warrior they want. Levelling up, learning skills and assigning points to a wide range of attributes are all featured, as is an exclusive crafting element which allows you to collect and combine rare and beautiful equipment from all parts of the game world. Defeating bosses rewards the player with ancient drawings which act as instructions to construct new and increasingly powerful weapons.

With Sword of Inferno, China Wireless Arts is giving iOS gamers the opportunity to discover the story of a legendary blade forged in the depths of Hell. Packed with action, intrigue and twists, just how the sword gets back into players' hands is completely up to them. New legends are sure to be born.
