IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Freeridecoding today announce SmartBackup 3.3, an update to its alternative lightweight backup, sync and clone application for OS X. SmartBackup syncs multiple source items to a destination folder on an external harddrive, flashdrive or network share, or creates a bootable clone of your system.

Wellington, New Zealand - Freeridecoding today is thrilled to announce the release of SmartBackup 3.3, a new version of its alternative lightweight backup, sync and clone application for OS X. SmartBackup gives you more control than Time Machine and is easier to set up than most of its competitors.
SmartBackup syncs multiple source items to a destination folder on an external harddrive, flashdrive or network share, or creates a bootable clone of your system. SmartBackup features a modern 64 bit sync engine that only copies what has changed after the initial sync and is very fast in updating your backup or system clone. SmartBackup can archive deleted or changed files during the backup. The archive can easily be searched from within the application and the user can choose which version of a file should be restored.
SmartBackup can use Spotlight Saved Searches to define what needs to be backed up or what should be excluded, a powerful way to greatly simplify your backup configuration. SmartBackup can be automated using iCal, Automator or via LaunchDaemons. SmartBackup's commandline makes it painless to include it in shell scripts.

PrestoBingo Shapes App is Now Available for iPhone - Published on 05/01/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Baltimore based Spur Design today announces PrestoBingo Shapes 1.2, an update to their popular shape-finding app for iOS devices. PrestoBingo Shapes helps kids learn to identify basic geometric shapes, providing an excellent introduction to geometry for children. Circles, diamonds, ovals, rectangles, semicircles, squares, triangles, trapezoids, and triangles are explained and identified. Each screen presents a different shape-finding puzzle. Version 1.2 offers improved navigation and more.
Baltimore, Maryland - PrestoBingo Shapes, an app for kids designed by Spur Design, is now available for the iPhone. The shape-finding app helps kids learn to identify basic geometric shapes. The modern design of this app, with whimsical illustrations by Joyce Hesselberth and animations throughout, sets it apart from the rest.
Designing the app for the iPhone presented new challenges. "We added a zoom feature, to accommodate the smaller screen size. Instead of being a detriment, we found that zooming into the puzzles allowed the child to focus more clearly on certain areas and notice more details. It actually became even more fun to search for shapes," said app creator Joyce Hesselberth.
PrestoBingo Shapes provides an introduction to geometry for children. Circles, diamonds, ovals, rectangles, semicircles, squares, triangles, trapezoids, and triangles are explained and identified. Each screen presents a different shape-finding puzzle and kids are verbally and visually prompted to click on the shapes. Animations throughout the app explain geometric forms concisely, and encourage children to see shapes in a unique way. When prompted for more information, shapes are described in terms that young kids can understand, "A trapezoid is a triangle with the top cut off. It can be a tent in the woods, or a lampshade, or a ship sailing away."
Features:
* 12 Illustrated puzzles
* Over 20 animations
* Concise descriptions of shapes in terms kids can understand
* Text based, verbal and visual prompts throughout
* A narrator to guide the child through the app
Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad

MEI Helps Howard Hughes Medical Institute Revamp iPad App

MEI Helps Howard Hughes Medical Institute Revamp iPad App - Published on 05/01/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Managing Editor Inc. today announced that the Howard Hughes Medical Institute is now using Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to produce the iPad edition of its quarterly magazine, the HHMI Bulletin. HHMI hired MEI's design and production team to help create upcoming tablet issues of the magazine as well as to rebuild existing iPad issues using Adobe DPS. MEI also enhanced the folios with new features, including social-media linking and sharing.
Jenkintown, Pennsylvania - Managing Editor Inc. (MEI) today announced that the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) is now using Adobe(R) Digital Publishing Suite(TM) to produce the iPad edition of its quarterly magazine, the HHMI Bulletin. HHMI hired MEI's design and production team to help create upcoming tablet issues of the magazine as well as to rebuild existing iPad issues using Adobe DPS.
HHMI implemented an HTML-based tablet-publishing strategy in 2010. Recently, the organization's communications team determined that a solution integrated with Adobe InDesign(R) would add flexibility to its production process, since the HHMI team already was working in InDesign to produce the Bulletin in print. Based on recommendations from other publishers using Adobe DPS, including Reader's Digest, HHMI decided to migrate the HHMI Bulletin app.
HHMI met with MEI and developed a plan for rebuilding the six back issues and creating new ones using DPS. MEI began by building InDesign templates and reworking the HTML content issue by issue, finding creative ways to replicate the existing functionality with the Adobe software.
"We were able to rebuild almost all of the interactivity either exactly or pretty closely using the DPS tools in InDesign," said Will Steuber, creative director at MEI.
MEI also enhanced the folios with new features, including social-media linking and sharing. Plus, MEI provided provisioning training when HHMI was ready to submit its DPS-based updates to the iTunes App Store.
"We're very pleased that we made the decision to go with DPS and MEI,' said Mary Beth Gardiner, HHMI Bulletin editor. "We're looking forward to continuing the production partnership."
In addition to creating DPS versions of the back issues, MEI is collaborating with HHMI to develop all-new tablet editions, conceptualized and built entirely with Adobe DPS. The February 2012 HHMI Bulletin iPad edition was the first beginning-to-end DPS release, and the May 2012 issue is under way. MEI is providing Adobe DPS training to give the HHMI team a greater understanding of the tools.
For HHMI Bulletin readers, the transition has been nearly seamless. Users simply need to download an app update to access the DPS-built back issues.
"HHMI's transition to DPS demonstrates how publishers can dive right into DPS at any time without worrying about abandoning their existing content," Steuber said.
Visit the iTunes App Store to download the free HHMI Bulletin.
