Spinlight Closes the Gap in Early Education - Published on 03/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Literacy is essential in the modern world. It determines the jobs you choose, the positions you achieve and the income you earn for the essentials of life. And yet, many children never receive the early help they need to develop critical reading skills. This week award-winning app developer Spinlight Studio took the wraps off a new game designed to change that. Packed with 200 three-letter words, Gappy's First Words provides the perfect adventure for pint-sized learners just beginning to read.

Champaign, Illinois - According to research published in the Children's Literacy Initiative, only 10% of students who read poorly at the end of first grade will ever read proficiently in later grades. Now the creative minds behind AlphaTots(TM), the Parents' Choice Award winning alphabet app, have put their full force behind a brand new game designed to close the gap, giving little learners the tools they need to read at an early age.

In Gappy's First Words(TM), the goal is simple - players spell words to close gaps and help the story's loveable hero hop home. From dusty deserts to distant planets, they'll progress through four different levels, learning to identify letters and spell words successfully all on their own.

But just because the game is heavy on the learning doesn't mean it's light on the fun.

"We're big kids at heart," says Matt Hutton, CEO and co-founder of the innovative app company. "And that means there's always a major element of fun in every game we release." In Gappy, it's a creative reward system designed to keep curious learners coming back for more.

With every adventure they complete, players are rewarded with one of 56 different parts, letting them redesign Gappy's house - anyway they want. From a cozy cabin, to a space house to a castle with a gingerbread house, there are over 720 creative combinations. And each time they come back for another part, they'll be getting more than a metal roof or candy cane fence, they'll be gaining the essential learning tools they need to build a better life.

Gappy's First Words, the company's tenth official title, is being released simultaneously on the iOS, Android and Mac platform. To learn more about their long list of award-winning education titles, including AlphaTots(TM), Operation Math(TM) and Geography Drive(TM) USA, visit spinlight.com.

Device Requirements:
* iOS 4.0 or later
* iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad

Pricing and Availability:
Gappy's First Words 1.0 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Dash Office extends Speed, Data Usage, and Security Optimization for iOS - Published on 03/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ActMobile, Inc. releases Dash Office mobile device acceleration and data savings extensions for email, off-line web browsing.

San Jose, California - Dash Office Release 1.15 enhances the most sophisticated mobile device all-app acceleration and data savings solution available for the power and business Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) user. Off-line web browsing, email acceleration, internet access location settings, and email download data savings are a few of the major enhancements in the new Dash Office release for Apple iOS devices.

�ActMobile has created a truly revolutionary solution for the power and BYOD business user. Our focus is to ensure performance, data savings, and security on 3G/4G/LTE networks anytime, anywhere. The worse the network, the better we perform�, states John Williams, Co-Founder and EVP Business Marketing of ActMobile Inc. �We have customers reporting huge savings and acceleration on apps like ShareFile, Gmail, SaleForce.com, not to mention Newstand apps like The Wall Street Journal, The Economist and the New York Times. If you are on the road, travel internationally, or just live in a poor coverage area you need to give Dash Office a try.�

With over 100,000 installs in just two months the Dash Office product suite including VPN, all device acceleration and data savings are proving their worth. The product is sophisticated but relatively easy to install and manage. Dash Office has three basic usage modes each providing different levels of app, network, data savings, and security. Engage the VPN either in on-demand or manual mode and all apps on the device are secured, accelerated and data is reduced saving you money on your data plan. Use the super-fast in-app multi-view browser as an effective business tool for your most important sites. It even works off-line. Additionally, Dash Office offers usage and management tools for advanced data plan management, network performance analysis (speed test) and roaming usage statistics.

�Our challenge is getting the word out about this fantastic solution to our target market. These apps are perfect for the mobile BYOD workforce and power user that find themselves in poor or congested network coverage areas and need to get important work done. There isn�t a product on the market today that achieves the capability of Dash Office for mobile device productivity,� states Andrew Foss, Co-Founder and CEO of ActMobile, Inc.

�I was on a flight from Boston to San Francisco the other day that provided a paid WiFi service. I fired up Dash Office with the VPN, read email and watched NetFlix. The poor guy next to me gave up reading email in frustration after 20 minutes. I love this product!� reports a customer of ActMobile at 32,000 feet over Michigan.

Dash Office provides three levels of acceleration and data savings through a unique app on the device and a cloud based service. Cellular networks, and even congested WiFi (like those free airport services) create a sever problem for data communications. The Dash Office technology addresses these issues at the network, data, and application level to ensure performance even under the poorest of mobile network conditions.

�Dash Office is designed for the sophisticated power user and mobile worker; anyone who finds themselves on the road, in airports, and cursing expensive wifi service at their hotel will appreciate this app. You know, the life of a road warrior. � states Tim Bush, CFO of ActMobile Inc. ActMobile also provides a secure access solution called Dash VPN which provides secure and accelerated network access and anonymity for mobile users worldwide.

-- Features --

SUPERCHARGE MOBILE NETWORK PERFORMANCE

- Network acceleration, data savings and security for ALL apps on the device

Dash Office extends Speed, Data Usage, and Security Optimization for iOS - Published on 03/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ActMobile, Inc. releases Dash Office mobile device acceleration and data savings extensions for email, off-line web browsing. Dash Office provides three levels of acceleration and data savings through a unique app on the device and a cloud based service. Off-line web browsing, email acceleration, internet access location settings, and email download data savings are a few of the major enhancements in the new Dash Office release for Apple iOS devices.

San Jose, California - Dash Office Release 1.15 enhances the most sophisticated mobile device all-app acceleration and data savings solution available for the power and business Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) user. Off-line web browsing, email acceleration, internet access location settings, and email download data savings are a few of the major enhancements in the new Dash Office release for Apple iOS devices.

"ActMobile has created a truly revolutionary solution for the power and BYOD business user. Our focus is to ensure performance, data savings, and security on 3G/4G/LTE networks anytime, anywhere. The worse the network, the better we perform", states John Williams, Co-Founder and EVP Business Marketing of ActMobile Inc. "We have customers reporting huge savings and acceleration on apps like ShareFile, Gmail, SaleForce, not to mention Newstand apps like The Wall Street Journal, The Economist and the New York Times. If you are on the road, travel internationally, or just live in a poor coverage area you need to give Dash Office a try."

With over 100,000 installs in just two months the Dash Office product suite including VPN, all device acceleration and data savings are proving their worth. The product is sophisticated but relatively easy to install and manage. Dash Office has three basic usage modes each providing different levels of app, network, data savings, and security. Engage the VPN either in on-demand or manual mode and all apps on the device are secured, accelerated and data is reduced saving you money on your data plan. Use the super-fast in-app multi-view browser as an effective business tool for your most important sites. It even works off-line. Additionally, Dash Office offers usage and management tools for advanced data plan management, network performance analysis (speed test) and roaming usage statistics.

"Our challenge is getting the word out about this fantastic solution to our target market. These apps are perfect for the mobile BYOD workforce and power user that find themselves in poor or congested network coverage areas and need to get important work done. There isn't a product on the market today that achieves the capability of Dash Office for mobile device productivity," states Andrew Foss, Co-Founder and CEO of ActMobile, Inc.

"I was on a flight from Boston to San Francisco the other day that provided a paid WiFi service. I fired up Dash Office with the VPN, read email and watched NetFlix. The poor guy next to me gave up reading email in frustration after 20 minutes. I love this product!" reports a customer of ActMobile at 32,000 feet over Michigan.

Dash Office provides three levels of acceleration and data savings through a unique app on the device and a cloud based service. Cellular networks, and even congested WiFi (like those free airport services) create a sever problem for data communications. The Dash Office technology addresses these issues at the network, data, and application level to ensure performance even under the poorest of mobile network conditions.

"Dash Office is designed for the sophisticated power user and mobile worker; anyone who finds themselves on the road, in airports, and cursing expensive wifi service at their hotel will appreciate this app. You know, the life of a road warrior. " states Tim Bush, CFO of ActMobile Inc. ActMobile also provides a secure access solution called Dash VPN which provides secure and accelerated network access and anonymity for mobile users worldwide.

Infographic - We're All Losers, But New Tech Can Help - Published on 03/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Linquet, the Internet of Things company with the mission of linking everything to make everyday items "smart" and prevent them from being forgotten, lost, or stolen, today published an Infographic showing what huge losers we all are. It's true. Among other stats, The Big World of Lost Things Infographic shows the average person loses 9 items per day, a total of 200,000 in their lifetime. What's the number one item we lose?

Vancouver, Canada - 160,000 phones are lost every day, and 96% of people try to access private data when they find a lost phone. Linquet, the Internet of Things company with the mission of linking everything to make everyday items "smart" and prevent them from being forgotten, lost, or stolen, today published an Infographic showing what huge losers we all are. It's true. Among other stats, The Big World of Lost Things Infographic shows the average person loses 9 items per day, a total of 200,000 in their lifetime. What's the number one item we lose? Cellphones top the charts, and the average lost phone costs the loser $900, with the total value of lost or stolen phones and their data costing Americans $30 billion.

"Face it, we're all losers," says Pooya Kazerouni, founder of Linquet. "We all have busy lives and are constantly forgetting or losing our phone, keys, bag, wallet, pet, purse, laptop--the list goes on and on. This is exactly why we invented Linquet. With our crowdfunding campaign in full swing we are giving people the opportunity to back the company and get early bird pricing on a unique cloud-based product every single one of us can benefit from."

The infographic shows Philadelphia is the top city for phone loss in the US, followed by Seattle, Oakland, and Long Beach. While Americans lose 160,000 phones every day, tablets and laptops aren't far behind. With the growing adoption of tablets, these handy mobile devices are quickly becoming one of the most frequently lost items at airports, and every 53 seconds a laptop is lost or stolen.

Linquet gives people an effortless way to keep tabs on everything important to them by allowing them to "linq" their valuables to their smartphone. Using Bluetooth technology, Linquet can be added ('"linqed") to a phone via the free Linquet app.

Now available for pre-order for the low price of $25 including registration and shipping to the U.S. and Canada at, Linquet Mini works with iOS devices and has a one year battery life, even with 24/7 use. About the size of two quarters laid side by side, Linquet Mini is so tiny it can easily be slipped into even the smallest wallets.

The free Linquet app will be available in the iTunes App Store this summer to coincide with the shipping of the Linquet Mini.
