Pheed Celebrate Successful Launch of iPhone App Hailed: The New Twitter - Published on 02/14/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pheed Limited announces Pheed 2.0.5 for iOS. Pheed is a free social media platform based out of Los Angeles that launched on October 12th, 2012. The accompanying iPhone app was released on November 12th, 2012, making its way into Apple's Top Charts in the first month. Labeled by Forbes as The New Twitter, Pheed enables users to upload and share all forms of digital content including text, photo, video, audio, and voice-note. Pheed has picked and integrated features into one simple and fast app.

Cupertino, California - Pheed Limited announces Pheed 2.0.5 for iOS. Pheed is a free social media platform based out of Los Angeles that launched on October 12th, 2012. The accompanying iPhone app was released on November 12th, 2012, making its way into Apple's Top Charts in the first month.

Labeled by Forbes as "The New Twitter", Pheed enables users to upload and share all forms of digital content including text, photo, video, audio, and voice-note. In a sense, Pheed has cherry picked the features we love from other platforms and integrated them into one simple and fast app.

Users new to Pheed can create a channel directly from the app, subscribe to friends and people of interest, and view their subscribed channels' content in real time. They can 'love' or 'heartache' specific pheeds, hashtag and 'pheedback,' as well as share content from others' channels to their own via a feature called 'remix.'

Original content uploaded to Pheed is owned and controlled by the user, and the platform is without advertising. Users can search content via hashtags, and limit their search with filters that allow them to view specific content types (i.e. only photos, only videos, etc).

While it is free to join and use Pheed, users have the option to monetize their content if they wish to do so, either by applying a monthly subscription fee to their channel or setting up a pay-per-view live broadcast event through the web platform. Monetization is by no means the central feature on Pheed, the company simply thought it was fair to introduce the option to users; the idea being that content creators should be incentivized to create quality content for the web, whether it is for mass or niche scale.

Pheed aims to release an Android App in early 2013, and will continue to roll out exciting new products and features into 2013.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 13.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Pheed 2.0.5 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category.

Hidden Creek Software Releases Graycode iPhone/iPad App - Published on 02/15/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hidden Creek Software introduces Graycode 1.0, a handy, and useful iPhone/iPad application for engineers and scientists who need to quickly and accurately convert numbers among Decimal, Binary, Hex and most importantly Gray code. While Gray code is used extensively in modern digital circuit and mechanical system design to reduce switching noises and error, it is also well known to be used in solving ancient classic problems like a Hanoi Tower or a Chinese Ring Puzzle.

Rochester, New York - Hidden Creek Software has released an iPhone/iPad application called Graycode. This app is a handy, small and useful tool for engineers and scientists who need to quickly and accurately convert numbers among Decimal, Binary, Hex and most importantly Gray code.

The problem with natural Binary codes is that, with real mechanical or electrical switches, it is very unlikely that switches will change states exactly in synchronous way. In the transition between the state "001" to "010", two switches change state. In the brief period while both of them are changing, the switches will read some spurious positions and cause some noises or errors.

The reflected Binary code, also known as Gray code after Frank Gray, is a binary numeral system where two successive values differ in only a single bit. It is a non-weighted code.

The key feature of this app Graycode is that a user can type a number in any of the following numerical system, like Binary, Hex, Decimal or Gray code. The number key pad will change accordingly depending on the field the user types in. Therefore, there is no mistake which can be made by typing wrong values. For example, if a user tries to type a binary number of "101010" in the Binary number input field, the key pad will only show two numbers available to use, i.e., a '1' and '0'. If the user decides to type a Hex number, then other numbers like 'A', 'B', 'C' and others will be available as well.

When the user types one number in any given field (numerical system), the number will be converted instantly and show up in other fields (numerical systems) as well. The user can switch the input fields back and forth at any given time.

While Gray code is used extensively in modern digital circuit and mechanical system design to reduce switching noises and error, it is also well known to be used in solving ancient classic problems like a Hanoi Tower or a Chinese Ring Puzzle.

To make the app more visual appealing, an animated solution of a Hanoi Tower with three disks is also demonstrated in the app so that the user can have a visual understanding what a Gray code is and how it is different from a natural Binary code and how it can be used in a real world application.

Graycode has been localized in three different languages such as English, Chinese and Japanese.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th gen), and iPad
* iOS 4.2 or later
* 0.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Graycode 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.

UrbanTG Releases New Generation of Travel Guide Applications for iPhone - Published on 02/15/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Social-mobile technology company, UrbanTG today introduces Urban Travel Guides for iOS, a new set of mobile applications that claims to be the "smartest travel companion ever." Users can find activities and locations in New York City, London, Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome and Dubai. Each travel guide is filled with curated content that seasoned travelers from around the world have written to help newcomers find their way to the best vacation spots.

Dubai, UAE - Urban Travel Guides, a social-mobile technology company that specializes in pointing Travelers and vacationers in the right direction, announced today the release of a new set of mobile applications that claims to be the "smartest travel companion ever." The applications, which are available from Apple's App Store for $2.99 per city, helps travelers plan their trips and find locations that appeal to their interests.

After downloading Urban Travel Guides' apps to their iPhones, users can find activities and locations in New York City, London, Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome and Dubai. Each travel guide is filled with curated content that seasoned travelers from around the world have written to help newcomers find their way to the best vacation spots. Many of these people are from Travelers' Nation, an online community that prides itself on inspiration through tourism. For instance, with the program's inspiration tool, customers can find places that cater to their budget and trip interests.

"Our travel guide apps will help people build a meaningful itinerary for their trips, and it will suggest places that they ought to visit based on what they've entered into the application," said Halim Boumadani, founder of UrbanTG. "The inspiration tool itself is a unique feature that's based on algorithms; when customers search for places that they want to visit, only the most relevant and the highest-rated will appear at the top of the results."

"Ultimately, our objective was to offer a variety of choices, based on budget and interest, to the customer."

In creating the travel guides, Boumadani also sought to help travelers keep their itineraries organized. The "My Trip" function allows customers to check where they have been and to add and drop places from their sightseeing list.

"Once customers have decided what they want to do, the app will keep their plans ordered and tidy, unlike other apps that provide just the content and not the planning that it takes to get from one place to the next," said Boumadani.

As UrbanTG team is growing, the company promises to add guides for at least 40 more cities by the end of the year. To learn more about Urban Travel Guides, please visit UrbanTG online.

MyAppleSpace introduces a platform for Apple Social Networking - Published on 02/15/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MyAppleSpace is excited to introduce a new platform for Apple Social Networking. Apple fans everywhere can start their own community space, with just the click of a button. Each community space has a dedicated forum, blog, photo and video library, wiki-pages, file server, bookmarks and chat. Launching your own community space transforms MyAppleSpace into your community space. Apple fans everywhere can join your space, add content, interact with other members and chat. You are the administrator.

Aarhus, Denmark - MyAppleSpace is excited to introduce a new platform for Apple Social Networking. Apple fans everywhere can start their own community space, with just the click of a button. Each community space has a dedicated forum, blog, photo and video library, wiki-pages, file server, bookmarks and chat. Launching your own community space transforms MyAppleSpace into your community space. Apple fans everywhere can join your space, add content, interact with other members and chat. You are the administrator.

With the new MyAppleSpace platform, a revolution in website navigation has arrived. On most websites you must first choose the type of content before you can search for the specific content. As an example, you might first click on image library on a website, and then begin your search for i.e. photos of iMacs. Next you might go back to the front page and click on the video library and then once again search for i.e. iMac. This continues in the forum and blog area etc.

Wouldn't it be much nicer if you first search for i.e. iMac and then came to a hub that contained all the different types of content on your search query? This makes MyAppleSpace a great resource for finding content, and for the same reason it's just as great for sharing your own favourite content with the Apple community. Why? Because the Apple community will actually be able to locate your content and enjoy it.

"I have gotten lost for hours just browsing the spaces", states founder Brian Floe. "you can dive into a subject of your choice, whether it be old Apple II machines, iPhones or even rumours of future Apple products and you will have all content about this subject available in one space. And then you jump to the next space and the whole website transforms itself and seemingly is only dedicate to this subject. It's something you have to get your hands on before the dime drops"

Did you ever want to start a website and interact with your visitors? Launch a space on MyAppleSpace right now and in 5 minutes you'll be up and running with a fully interactive space dedicated to your topic of choice. Invite your friends to join and admire your new community space on MyAppleSpace - a little space for the rest of us.

KiteDesk Cloud Productivity App Exits Beta, Goes Mobile - Published on 02/15/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tampa based KiteDesk today announces its free new app for iOS users, which unites content from the most popular messaging, collaboration and social media services in a single searchable, shareable, commentable application. Email messages, social media posts, contacts, files and calendar events and more. Designed for busy consumers and professionals who use multiple cloud services, KiteDesk 1.0 is very easy-to-use and can be customized to create contextual cross-service streams.

Tampa, Florida - The web version of KiteDesk exited beta this week and the company launched a mobile app for iOS users. KiteDesk, which is free on the web and for mobile, unites content from the most popular messaging, collaboration and social media services in a single searchable, shareable, commentable application. Easy to use and customize, KiteDesk is designed for busy consumers and professionals who use multiple cloud services.

What is KiteDesk?
KiteDesk brings users their favorite cloud services together in one application, so users can spend more time communicating and less time flipping between apps. Email messages, social media posts, contacts, files and calendar events from Dropbox, Facebook, Google, Twitter and Yahoo (Facebook and Yahoo integration are new since the public beta launch in Oct 2012) can be accessed, integrated, searched and shared, right from KiteDesk's web or mobile application.

KiteDesk can be customized to create contextual cross-service streams for things like "home remodel" or "work project," based on easy to set up tags and search terms. Streams appear as graphical file cards that identify when, for instance, a Twitter post was made, by whom and about what. Users can click cards to drill deeper or respond. The result is a single inbox, calendar, contact list and file cabinet for cloud services, simplifying access to users' important information.

KiteDesk Main Features
* Connect - All cloud service accounts in one space
* Streams - The information organized into contextual streams
* Messaging - Unified messaging with email and social in one inbox
* People - Manage all contacts from all your services in one place and see a complete history of your emails, posts and files shared with each person in one view
* Events - All events and appointments, fully editable with rich details and links to personal streams for all attendees
* Files - Quickly find, review and share files from different cloud-based file services
* Search - Search across all accounts at one time, including social
* Unity - Web and mobile apps work together

"We are excited to announce availability of both our web and native iOS applications which work in concert to act as your Personal Cloud information manager on any device," said Jack Kennedy, co-founder and CEO at KiteDesk. "With the addition of Yahoo and Facebook integration and more services like LinkedIn underway, we believe that KiteDesk will offer a tremendous value proposition to our users who are looking for a more integrated cloud experience."

* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3/4/5 Gen) and iPad
