Bubble Chart Pro 2.5 Helps Uncover Hidden Value in Business Investments - Published on 05/01/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Data Machines, Inc announces the release of Bubble Chart Pro Version 2.5. Bubble Chart Pro helps managers quickly find the value hidden in their business investment portfolios by letting them visually compare investments in multiple business data dimensions, such as value, cost, and risk. By visualizing their data this way, managers can quickly see and understand which investments are the most attractive and which are the least attractive.

New Castle, Delaware - Data Machines, Inc announces the release of Bubble Chart Pro Version 2.5. Bubble Chart Pro helps managers quickly find the value hidden in their business investment portfolios by letting them visually compare investments in multiple business data dimensions, such as value, cost, and risk. By visualizing their data this way, managers can quickly see and understand which investments are the most attractive and which are the least attractive. Bubble Chart Pro can be used to compare many different types of potential business investments, including R&D projects, marketing strategies, and new product development proposals.

Bubble Chart Pro is available in three editions: basic Bubble Chart Pro, Bubble Chart Pro PLUS, and Bubble Chart Pro OPTIMAL.

With basic Bubble Chart Pro, managers can create colorful bubble charts in as few as four clicks. They can modify and drill-down into the underlying data by directly interacting with the bubbles on the chart so that they can quickly model different scenarios. In addition, the bubble charts are fully-customizable, so managers can get the look that they want.

Bubble Chart Pro PLUS adds a SMART project prioritizer that assigns a value score for each project based on business objectives and goals. The SMART prioritizer is built on research by scientists from Harvard, MIT, and the University of Southern California. By combining multiple inputs into a single score, the SMART prioritizer makes project ranking much easier, robust, and defensible.

Bubble Chart Pro OPTIMAL adds a fast portfolio optimizer for finding the set of projects that will deliver the maximum value when the business doesn't have enough capital, resources, or risk tolerance to do all the projects. A portfolio of only 30 projects has over 1 billion subsets of projects to choose from, so the Bubble Chart Pro portfolio optimizer makes finding the most valuable subset of projects that also meets the constraint limitations fast and easy.

"This latest release of Bubble Chart Pro is designed to bring powerful visualization tools and business analytics to business managers and consultants for prices starting at less than $150," says George Huhn, Developer of Bubble Chart Pro. "In fact, Bubble Chart Pro OPTIMAL brings a unique toolset that is generally only available in enterprise applications that cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, and we've made the analytics understandable and easy for business people to use."

4.: Worldictionary 3.2 now Available at a 50% Markdown

Worldictionary 3.2 now Available at a 50% Markdown - Published on 05/01/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Once again, California's Penpower Technology Inc. has upped the ante on practical business applications. With the release of the latest version of their rousingly well-received Worldictionary app, the prospects have never been better or more convenient for on-the-go international business people - and travelers in general - looking for fast and impeccably accurate on-point translation. This indispensable technology is now available to consumers for 50% off the previous price.

Fremont, California - Once again, California's Penpower Technology Inc. has upped the ante on practical business applications. With the release of the latest version of their rousingly well-received Worldictionary app, the prospects have never been better or more convenient for on-the-go international business people - and travelers in general - looking for fast and impeccably accurate on-point translation. Worldictionary 3.2 has all the great features of previous versions, but now has the added bonuses of improved performance, the elimination of all minor and major bugs, and the inclusion of Bing translation engines to the mix. What is more, this indispensable technology is now available to consumers for only $3.99, 50% off the previous price.

Penpower is well known and regarded as a developer of popular, pragmatic, and easy-to-use iPhone applications. Aside from Worldictionary, they are also the developers of WorldCard Mobile, a perennial bestselling business app. Both are designed for heavy use, utilizing amazingly intuitive software that performs on the highest level. With Worldictionary 3.2, all you do is scan any word from one of 21 languages in your iPhone's viewfinder, and an instant translation of that word will pop up instantly.

This application is perfect for anybody who wants instant on-point text translation between any of the following languages: English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, French, Germany, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Danish, Norwegian, Polish, Hungarian, Russian, Czech, Slovak, and Romanian. Yes that's a lot more languages than previous versions. You'll also have the capability to search more comprehensive meaning for your translated words on Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, and now Bing, just so you can get a better grasp.

"Even though the world has reached a high point in cultural and material homogeneity, due to globalization, the paradox is that we have more impediments to communication than ever before," muses Penpower's Vice President DP Deng. "Those old translator books just aren't going to do it anymore. They're expensive and impractical. We wanted both ease of use and seamless performance in our Worldictionary product, and with version 3.2 we are even closer to the perfection we envisioned initially. Considering such feature-density, this application at 50% off is much more than a tremendous value... it's a godsend".

Penpower has indeed cut the price of Worldictionary 3.2 in half, from $7.99 to an outrageous $3.99, in order to make this practical and valuable technology available for anybody with an iPhone and a couple of bucks to spare.

Translatable languages:
English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, French, Germany, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Danish, Norwegian, Polish, Hungarian, Russian, Czech, Slovak, and Romanian

New features:
* Add Local Dictionary (English-Chinese)
* Bing translation support

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (4th generation), iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iPad (3rd generation) and iPad Wi-Fi + 4G

* 27.7 MB

6.: FoxSpring Labs' new iOS app uses Singular Software's CloudEyes

FoxSpring Labs' new iOS app uses Singular Software's CloudEyes - Published on 05/01/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FoxSpring Labs, FSL, is nearing the beta release of CrowdSync, an iOS app that aggregates user-generated content from live events and delivers seamless playback on mobile devices. FoxSpring has chosen CloudEyes as its foundation - Singular Software's web-based media synchronization technology that lets producers and contributors share footage and collaborate remotely. With the new FSL app, footage captured within the application or with the native iOS camera is pushed to CrowdSync servers.

Vancouver, British Columbia - FoxSpring Labs (FSL) is nearing the beta release of CrowdSync, an iOS app that aggregates user-generated content from live events and delivers seamless playback on mobile devices. FoxSpring has chosen CloudEyes as its foundation - Singular Software's web-based media synchronization technology that lets producers and contributors share footage and collaborate remotely.

"We wanted to create a rich user experience," says Laird Hayward, FSL co-founder. "We knew that we'd have to capture and provide high quality audio, and synchronize from several video feeds shot at the same time. CloudEyes takes care of all of that for us - they're an indispensible partner."

With the new FSL app, footage captured within the application or with the native iOS camera is pushed to CrowdSync servers, where it is analyzed and stitched together to create a virtual event users can explore using multi-touch controls. But without a reliable way to synchronize the visuals and sounds of multiple cameras, crowd-sourced event coverage would have been impossible.

"It takes sound over a second to travel from the first row to the last row at the Hollywood Bowl in L.A.," says Alex Fortunato, FSL co-founder. "Two clips may have the same network time stamp, but there will be audio latency. We needed to fix this problem and to make it easy for people to accommodate different angles on the same event."

To solve FoxSpring's audio latency challenges, the Singular Software team worked with their developers to create an elegant and scalable solution.

"CloudEyes does an in-depth analysis of audio captured on multiple devices to ensure that they are perfectly in sync and to avoid latency effects," says Bruce Sharpe, Singular Software CEO. "With us looking after this aspect of crowd-sourced video, FoxSpring's developers can focus on creating a fun and functional playback experience for their users."

Look for the official launch of FSL's CrowdSync in the iTunes App store this summer.

About FoxSpring Labs:
Based in San Francisco, FoxSpring Labs is a software company focused on creating mobile applications that allow users to share their media in exciting new ways.

Since 2008, Singular Software has pioneered workflow automation for audio and video professionals. The breakthrough innovations of PluralEyes and DualEyes automate and simplify multi-camera, multi-take and dual-system audio productions, and integrate with the industry's most widely used video editing software.

8.: iPhone app reduces tinnitus loudness

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

iPhone app reduces tinnitus loudness - Published on 05/01/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

About 3% of the Western population suffer from tinnitus - a constant ringing sound experienced in one or both ears. Causal treatment strategies for tinnitus are not yet available. At the University of Muenster in Germany, researchers have discovered a therapy which significantly reduces the loudness of tinnitus. Now there's an app for that: Tinnitus Pro Music Therapy. The therapy is called Notched Music Therapy and exposes tinnitus patients to music.

Amsterdam, Netherlands - The therapy is called Notched Music Therapy and exposes tinnitus patients to music that has been modified, or "notched," to contain no energy surrounding the individual tinnitus frequency. The app, Tinnitus Pro, enables users to easily find their personal tinnitus frequency. The app then automatically does the rest. Tinnitus Pro filters out one octave of audio exactly around the individual's tinnitus frequency. Users can listen to their own, favorite music on their iPhone, and over time will benefit from a significant reduction in the loudness of their tinnitus. Each week users are alerted to rate the loudness of their tinnitus, while the time spent listening to the "notched" music is measured; over time this shows the progress of the therapy.

Tinnitus Pro is an easy-to-use app which can reduce tinnitus loudness.

Theory Behind The App:
The exact causes of tinnitus remain relatively unknown, however research has shown that it could be caused by maladaptive auditory cortex reorganization. In many cases hearing loss results in neurons within the auditory cortex no longer receiving a normal electrical input. The neurons then become "rewired" so that they develop a sensitivity to surrounding frequencies, whilst losing responsiveness to the original frequencies to which they were tuned. This altered neural activity may be the cause of tinnitus. Research has shown that this type of cortical reorganization can be modified by behavioral training.

The research was undertaken by Okamoto, Stracke, Stoll and Pantev at the Institute of Biomagnetism and Biosignalanalysis and the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at the University of Muenster in Germany. All research has been endorsed by the Tinnitus Research Initiative.

The Developers:
The app developers, known for creating audio software for the iPhone, came across the German research by chance. They discovered that a therapy had already been developed based on this research, but was only available through the production of costly CDs. They moved ahead to develop an app that would let tinnitus sufferers take treatment into their own hands with more options and at a much lower cost. Testing was done by real tinnitus patients to ensure the end result is an app that provides relief, while being easy-to-use thanks to its clear and simple user interface. Tinnitus Pro is an inexpensive app based on scientific research - not another app that simply covers up the tinnitus. With millions of tinnitus sufferers across the globe, Tinnitus Pro Music Therapy is a huge step forward in the search for an effective and cost-friendly treatment for an often-debilitating illness.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation) and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 26.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Tinnitus Pro : Music Therapy 1.0 is $9.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Medical category.

11.: Crazy Kangaroo 1.0 for iOS - Wild, Platform/Z-Scroller with Tilt Con

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Wed May 2, 2012 3:01 am (PDT)

Crazy Kangaroo 1.0 for iOS - Wild, Platform/Z-Scroller with Tilt Control - Published on 05/02/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Gamelion Studios today introduces Crazy Kangaroo 1.0 for iOS, their platform/z-scroller Game, where players control Barney the kangaroo by tilting forward and backward, and left and right. Featuring zany graphics and animation, Barney is seen from an overhead view as he hops from lily pad to alligator to stone trying to get home. Evading hunters, collecting stars, scoring power-ups, avoiding drowning by hopping from one waterborne object to another, Crazy Kangaroo includes more than 50 missions.

Cupertino, California - From the creators of Doodle Fit and Monster Shooter, Gamelion Studios today is pleased to introduce Crazy Kangaroo 1.0 for iOS, their platform/z-scroller Game, where players control Barney the kangaroo by tilting forward and backward, and left and right. Featuring zany graphics and animation, Barney is seen from an overhead view as he hops from lily pad to alligator to stone trying to get home. Evading hunters, collecting stars, scoring power-ups, avoiding drowning by hopping from one waterborne object to another, Crazy Kangaroo includes more than 50 missions.

Feature Highlights:
* 3 fantastic worlds
* Eye-candy graphics with Retina support
* Easy to learn gameplay
* Hilarious power-ups including Sugar Rush and Multi-Score
* Over 50 missions
* Leaderboards and ranks
* GameCenter support
* Universal build for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad

Poachers have captured Barney the kangaroo in the Australian outback, and they have packed him in a crate. Luckily, the crate falls out of the plane soon after takeoff, and Barney lands safely. The game begins with Barney's trek back home. Players control his speed and hopping distance by tilting their iDevice forward and backward, while control of movement left and right is accomplished by tilting the device appropriately. Players can calibrate device "level" at the start of each game.

Depending on their strategy players may want to hop slowly or quickly, and can even hop backwards. For example, when hopping across a river using alligators as stepping stones, players may choose to slow down to earn the Bonus points available for hopping 5x on an alligator. Native hunters are right behind Barney, so a moderate average rate of speed is necessary.

Power-Ups:
* 1x, 5x, 10x Holy Interventions: save the kangaroo from trouble and beat everyone's score
* Magnet: pulls in all the stars and goodies
* Life Preserver: gives the kangaroo one-time protection from drowning
* Shield: one-time protection from enemies and land obstacles
* Sugar Rush Dessert: extends rocket flight duration
* Bomb: collects nearby stars
* Multi-Score: multiplies points by 2x
* Multi-Power-Ups: lets Barney use two power-ups simultaneously

Crazy Kangaroo is filled with movement, as each world is filled with creatures, plants, and objects that are animated. Hopping on a lily pad creates concentric circles in the water, and crossing the river opens the eyes of each alligator along the way. The exaggerated perspective from the overhead view is dizzying as Barney hops up, becoming much bigger, and descends, shrinking back to normal. The tilt controls are smooth and responsive, and experienced players can achieve perfect control, even when Barney is in the air.

"Unlike most platformers that are played on the x and y-axes, Crazy Kangaroo allows players to move forward and backward on the z, or depth axis" stated Sebastian Szczygiel of Gamelion Studios. "Join Barney on an insane adventure, chased by native hunters, hopping his way back home."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 27.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Crazy Kangaroo 1.0 is $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Review copies are available on request.

15.: Fluency Timer Comes to iPhone/iPad/iPod touch

Fluency Timer Comes to iPhone/iPad/iPod touch - Published on 05/02/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Popular desktop application, Fluency Timer, comes to the iOS this week. The app allows teachers, parents, and students to record fluency readings with the push of a button. An adjustable timer automatically stops the recording at the end of a preset time. Recordings can be played back, e-mailed, or transferred to the desktop. Teachers can collect audio recordings as evidence of student achievement and communicate results by sharing recordings with parents and colleagues.

Los Angeles, California - Popular desktop application, Fluency Timer, comes to the iOS this week. The app allows teachers, parents, and students themselves to record fluency readings with the push of a button. An adjustable timer automatically stops the recording at the end of a preset time. Recordings can be played back, e-mailed, or transferred to the desktop. Both free and pro versions are available.

Created by internationally know teacher and literacy coach, Mathew Needleman, the simple app provides classrooms with an easy option for improving student achievement. "I created this because I needed it in my classroom. There are lots of timers and lots of recorders but I need both combined in one. And I need it to be simple enough that I can give it to my first graders to use when I'm working with a small group," says Needleman.

Research has shown that having students listen to themselves reading increases reading scores because students are able to hear and correct their own mistakes. Teachers can collect audio recordings as evidence of student achievement and communicate results by sharing recordings with parents and colleagues.

A free (ad supported) version is available as well as a pro version which eliminates ads and provides the ability to transfer multiple recordings to a desktop computer. Both versions allow recordings to be individually e-mailed.

Canberra, Australia - Independent developer, Ricky Vuckovic today is proud to announce the release of Fly Plane 1.0, his latest iPad game. Fly Plane is a quick and simple iPad kids game that lets people have fun flying around without worrying about things like stalling and crashing. Choose a plane or helicopter, choose a scene to fly around, and fly with your fingers.

"I designed it for really quick and casual fun", says Ricky, "something a kid could pick up and play all by themselves without someone older having to explain to them what a main menu is, or to read out button names in order to get through an options screen". This is evident in the game itself, with its big obvious buttons and a swift automatic return to the aircraft selection screen a few seconds after landing the aircraft. The game is designed to get the player and their aircraft back in the air for another round as quickly and easily as possible.

Speaking of aircraft, Fly Plane launches with three planes and one helicopter. These can all be flown through the three different scenes spanning green trees, city and snow. Each aircraft has its own realistic design and sound effects, including a slight radio chatter in the background when near the airport control tower.

Although aimed at young children, Fly Plane is proving to be fun amongst adults too. "The first time I showed a couple of friends an early version of the game, they couldn't help but make plane noises as they swept up and down the screen. There's something about Fly Plane that just makes you a little kid again".

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 3.2 or later
* 28.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Priced at $0.99 USD (or similar cost in other countries), Fly Plane 1.0 is now available for the iPad on the App Store in the Games category, and will appeal to anybody that can't help but make those little aeroplane zooming noises.

20.: Withings and BodyMedia Partner to Promote Weight Loss

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Wed May 2, 2012 5:01 am (PDT)

Withings and BodyMedia Partner to Promote Weight Loss - Published on 05/02/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Withings today announced a strategic partnership with body monitor pioneer BodyMedia, Inc. to aid consumers in weight loss efforts. Under the partnership, weight data can be automatically imported into the BodyMedia FIT Armband System simply by stepping on the Withings WiFi Body Scale, eliminating the need to enter the information into the BodyMedia FIT Activity Manager manually. The Withings WiFi Scale measures a user's body weight, lean and fat mass, and calculates body mass index and more.

Issy-les-Moulineaux, France - Withings, developer of the world's first WiFi-connected personal weight scale, today announced a strategic partnership with wearable body monitor pioneer BodyMedia, Inc. to aid consumers in weight loss efforts. Under the partnership, weight data can be automatically imported into the BodyMedia FIT(TM) Armband System simply by stepping on the Withings WiFi Body Scale, eliminating the need to enter the information into the BodyMedia FIT Activity Manager manually.

The Withings WiFi Scale measures a user's body weight, lean and fat mass, and calculates body mass index (BMI) and automatically transmits the data to a secure personal webpage using the built in WiFi. The data can be accessed from any Internet connected device or the free Withings smartphone application. The scale can track eight users and, if desired, automatically tweet or update the user's Facebook status with the details of the latest weigh-in to generate support for the user's weight loss efforts from Twitter followers or Facebook friends. By using the WiFi Scale, users can see a graphical representation of users' journeys in attaining their health goals.

BodyMedia FIT armbands collect physiological data from the human body using four unique sensors that capture over 5,000 data readings every minute. This raw data includes measurements of heat flux, skin temperature, motion and galvanic skin response. BodyMedia's proprietary algorithms convert these readings to accurately capture key areas that directly affect people's health and wellness: calorie burn, physical activity duration, steps taken, and sleep duration and efficiency. The data is then stored on each user's online Activity Manager, where it is available at any time via a computer or smartphone to help manage and track fitness and weight loss progress.

"Partnering with Withings will make it easier for BodyMedia armband users to log their weight information in our software," said Christine Robins, CEO of BodyMedia. "Being able to track your weight over time is a true motivator and indicator of when you're heading in the right or wrong direction for your goals, and now Withings makes this step simple."

"Weighing yourself is obviously a vital component of weight control, but BodyMedia's body monitoring armband system takes it a step further by measuring vital statistics like calorie burn that help consumers see exactly why they are or are not losing weight," said Cedric Hutchings, Withings General Manager. "Through this partnership, we have simplified the process of documenting weight data in the BodyMedia FIT Activity Manager, helping to provide ongoing support and motivation that is critical to weight loss success."

21.: Localscope now integrates with Citysearch and Wikipedia

Localscope now integrates with Citysearch and Wikipedia - Published on 05/02/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cynapse today announces Localscope 2.3, an update to its popular location browser for iOS devices. Localscope provides an un-matched local discovery experience by seamlessly tapping into geo tagged information from multiple local search engines, social networks and media sharing services and serving up unprecedented results around a location. With v2.3, Localscope adds 3 new source choices - Wikipedia, Citysearch and Google Local besides the already integrated sources.

Mumbai, India - Cynapse today is pleased to announce the newest version of Localscope, v2.3, an update that highlights how location as a facet reveals relevant local information from conventional information systems. Localscope provides an un-matched local discovery experience by seamlessly tapping into geo tagged information from multiple local search engines, social networks and media sharing services and serving up unprecedented results around a location. With v2.3, Localscope adds 3 new source choices - Wikipedia, Citysearch and Google Local besides the already integrated sources - Google Places, Foursquare, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Panoramio, Flickr, Picasa, YouTube, Wikimapia, Google Local, Bing, Wikipedia, Citysearch, Fwix News and Fwix Reviews.

"While the new geo-app trend is to provide automated social serendipity; a fun concept, we believe that intuitive consumption of geo information is the biggest need of the user. With the smartphones in their hands, users are frequently sharing their discoveries in the form of check-ins, photos, videos, place reviews via different networks. But how does one put all of this shared knowledge to use? Thats where Localscope comes in. With Localscope, we provide a hyper-local search experience and aggregate geo specific info and media around a location from 16 diverse sources enabling the users to choose whats most relevant to them." said Romasha Roy Choudhury, Chief Evangelist at Cynapse.

Wikipedia, one of the newly integrated sources, the free online encyclopedia written and maintained by volunteers from all over the world is a remarkable source of information on countless number of places. It currently contains over 1.3 million pages linked to geographic coordinates. Localscope uses the GPS on the iPhone and meshes it with this large set of geo data from Wikipedia presenting relevant articles about places around a location.

Localscope v2.3 also integrates with Citysearch, a popular yellow pages service that covers more than 75,000 locations across the United States. The integration allows Localscope users living in or traveling to the United States to find local businesses in various categories from the online local city guide with editorial recommendations and user comments.

In the previous version release, we had introduced integration with Google Places and discontinued Google Local. While Google Places turned out to be a great source for reliable business listings for an area, users still craved for the bulk of location information that they were discovering with Google Local. On popular demand, Localscope v2.3 is bringing back Google Local along with Google Places as 2 separate sources. Users can now independently use either of the sources to discover their locality or choose to disable either of them from the Source Manager screen.

Besides the above, Localscope v2.3 bundles new pre defined search terms, icons and updates to the Facebook integration. A full list of What's New in v2.3 is available on the App Store. Localscope supports US English, Arabic, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai and Turkish languages.

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

Pricing and Availability
Localscope 2.3 is available for US $1.99 (or equivalent amount in other currencies) exclusively on the App Store in the Navigation category. If you're interested in reviewing Localscope, get in touch with us and we'll gladly provide a promo code.

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Wed May 2, 2012 5:02 am (PDT)

Remoter Pro 1.0.0 - VNC ScreenSharing, RDP, SSH for iPhone and iPad - Published on 05/02/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Remoter Labs today announces Remoter Pro 1.0.0 for iOS, a new productivity app app that allows users to remotely control Macs via Screen Sharing, and Windows or Linux PCs using the VNC or RDP standards right from their iOS devices. The app uses Bonjour to make setup a cinch, and also features a novel "virtual trackpad" to precisely control of the mouse cursor. Sound redirection, RDP, Telnet and SSH which also allows for secure VNC/RDP over SSH, are also included.

Vestal, New York - Remoter Labs today is pleased to announced the release of Remoter Pro 1.0.0 for iPhone and iPad, an new productivity app that enables users to remotely control Macs via Screen Sharing, and Windows or Linux computers using the VNC or RDP standards right from their iOS devices, with full external keyboard support or using a software keyboard. The app uses Bonjour and NetBIOS to make setup a cinch, and it features a novel and highly praised "virtual trackpad" that allows to control the mouse cursor intuitively. RemoterFusion, which provides sound redirection and easy setup, RDP, Telnet and SSH support are also included.

Full support for external keyboards and retina level artwork is included, and the app is 100% compatible with the new iPad.

The app offers one of the fastest implementations of the VNC and RDP protocols on the iOS platform. Operation is intuitive, with a well thought out interface that allows users to either tap on the screen and have taps converted into clicks on the remote system, or use a unique "virtual trackpad" that gives users precise control, and ease of use. A drag or stylus mode on the iPad version is also provided, which gives users the ability of easily dragging items, or drawing on their computers directly from their iPad just by using their fingers or a stylus.

On Macs, setup is ultra-simple using the optional RemoterFusion app. Port-forwarding and/or dynamic DNS is no longer needed in order to establish connections from outside the computer's network. This also provides sound redirection, which allows listening to music tracks, or any sound playing remotely on the computer from the iOS device. RemoterFusion is included 100% free with Remoter Pro.

Otherwise, local session set-up is still simple, all the computers from the WiFi network are found using both the Bonjour and NetBIOS standards. The user then taps on the desired connection, and all queried information such as computer name, IP address, service port, and more auto-populates the set-up screen. The user then only needs to enter the VNC password to complete setup. A button labeled "Advanced" reveals many useful advanced options, like color depth, server scaling setting, compression level and more.

The RDP support allows connecting to Windows computers that include an RDP server (Remote Desktop Protocol). This allows connecting to these machines without having to install a server, as is the case with VNC. Even the new Windows 8 Consumer Preview is supported!

Via the SSH function, the app allows users to establish secure and tunneled VNC, or RDP connections to their computer desktop. This also gives users the ability of establishing terminal connections to any SSH server. Featuring full terminal control, including special keys such as Control, Alt, F1-F14. Terminal support implements font foreground and background color, a terminal buffer, and clicking. SSH authentication includes both passwords and private/public key support. A fully featured SSH Key manager allows users to create SSH keys using RSA or DSA. Passphrases can also be set, and independent SSH keys can be used for each SSH session.

Remoter Pro gives users the ability of create up to five TCP tunnels (via SSH). The tunnels can then be accessed while the app is in the background by any other app on the iOS device. Providing a VPN connection to the SSH server. Background connections can stay active for a full ten minutes.

The Telnet function enables users to connect to server computers using the Telnet protocol. Like with SSH, the app provides full color support, a terminal buffer, and special keys.

Both SSH and Telnet allow for selection of text which is then synchronized with the device's pasteboard, and can then be pasted within the application, or into any other app.

The app features a connection selection interface that is controlled by swiping on the iOS device to graphically select the desired connection. On the iPad, a wholly new interface, which features a grid of servers that can be filtered is presented. A "Session Selection" screen is also available. This option presents a list view of all available connections. Sessions can be sorted by name, type or usage.

Wake-on-LAN support is also built-in, when the server session is setup using Bonjour or NetBIOS, the MAC address is automatically populated. Otherwise the field is provided to allow the user to populate it manually. Wake-on-LAN can then be sent either from the main screen of the app, or via the session selection screen.

Macros can also be created and run. Macro support is included for VNC, RDP, SSH and Telnet sessions, and a Macros manager allows for renaming and deleting of existing macros.

The app is extremely configurable, in the "Remoter Config" screen users can select from a variety of options to best suit their needs. Options such as trackpad type and acceleration, visual clicks, international keyboard support for OS X are included.

While connected to a server, the app supports both landscape and portrait mode, full-screen mode, different pre-set zoom levels, along with a smooth pinch-to-zoom interface. Pasteboard synchronization is also supported for all connection modes. Full external keyboard support, either USB or Bluetooth is also provided.
