San Francisco, California – The Apple iPhone is defined by its user experience. “Sleek”, “Sophisticated” and “Stylish” are only some of the words that come to mind when faced with a shiny new iPhone or iPad. Traditionally, national and global news coverage does not have the same sort of adjectives associated with them. Things like “depressing”, “flat” or “biased” are often found more closely tied to how the public views mass news media. Pulling the two together is Blancspot, a revolutionary new way to experience and interact with the news on the iPhone that combines photojournalists elements and solid news reporting with social media and cause activation tools.

The idea has intrigued Apple, which is now prominently featuring Blancspot in the iTunes App Store for the second week running. “We were thrilled at the response we got to Blancspot from Apple”, said Camille LeBlanc, CEO of Blancspot Media. “The idea of Blancspot fits hand in hand with the ideology of Apple, where not only is function paramount, but the entire experience of the user. Blancspot is not just news you read – its news you experience.”

Being on Apple’s good side has its advantages. In the first 24 hours of its release, Blancspot shot to the top five of the best selling news applications, where it stayed for a week. In that time, its sales also landed it the number three position in the coveted top grossing news apps.

The goal of Blancspot is to give consumers a full 360 view of news, allowing them to form their own judgments and become a part of it, either through discussion or active engagement. To do this, Blancspot provides:

* Stunning images from top photojournalists around the world presented in cinematic sequences set to an ever evolving soundtrack.
* An unbiased summary of complex topics with links to relevant external sources on both sides of an story
* Engagement with up to the minute social conversation through a targeted look into Twitter
* The ability to engage with or create causes related to the news

Blancspot is currently available for the iPhone and iPod touch, and to celebrate its successful launch and featuring by Apple has reduced the price to $1.99 for a limited time . An iPad optimized edition of Blancspot is scheduled for a mid September debut. For up to the second headlines and updates, follow Blancspot Media on Twitter @BlancspotMedia, or on Facebook.

Los Angeles, CA – Announcing GTX Corporation, the developer of GPS Tracking, has just launched a new iPad version of their tremendously successful application. As it roars past 425,000 downloads in eighty-two countries and hits number two on iTunes’ social networking Top Grossing Apps list, GTX Corp (OTCBB: GTXO.OB) subsidiary LOCiMOBILE’s GPS Tracking app has just launched on Apple’s iPad(R), offering an iPad-specific full-featured version for about the cost of a grande latte, $4.99.

GPS Tracking App – from the leader in two-way GPS tracking systems – is dedicated to parent company GTX Corp’s guiding principle, “With You.” GPS Tracking brings people together, locating family, friends and co-workers. GPS Tracking isn’t a toy. It isn’t a game. It offers privacy, lets users share and upload pictures to Facebook and Twitter and simply said, it’s the most direct, purest, location-based check-in app on the market. GPS Tracking is cross-platform compatible with LOCiMOBILE’s GPS Tracking apps installed on other devices and smartphones such as Apple iPhone(R) and iPod touch(R).

What will users be able to do with GPS Tracking? One click and kids can find each other at the mall, amusement park, anywhere. Parents can keep track of their children at school, with friends, or on the go. Employers can use it to keep tabs on employees in the field, or at conventions. Friends can find each other at graduation, a concert or across the country at a new collage. These are the edible fruits of GPS Tracking’s promise, deemed a futuristic concept in science fiction movies only a few years ago. Now this game-changing concept has fueled an explosion in location-based check-in technology – but GTX Corp has been a leader in this space for eight years – putting GPS tracking technology in the hands of athletes, health care professionals – even in shoes – and now, perhaps everyone with a smartphone.

“We’re delighted to launch our GPS Tracking app on the iPad,” says GTX Corp CEO Patrick Bertagna. “It provides industry standard location-based check-in to iPad’s projected 10 million devices, expands our brand onto Apple’s estimated 100 million i-Phone, Pad, and Pod user base and of course adds another commercial product to our revenue stream.”

iPad is the latest innovation that has helped propel Apple to a market capitalization in excess of $200 billion, just behind Microsoft, who famously invested $150 million in Apple back in 1997.

Analyst/commentator Steve Kanaval, of World Market Media concludes, “This is a unique space with wind at its back and certainly the apps market is a niche to watch.”

Device Requirements:
* iPad, 3G iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later
* 1.5 MB for iPad; 1.2 MB for iPhone and iPod touch

Pricing and Availability:
GPS Tracking 1.1 is only $4.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.

USA Solar and Digital Communications Technologies LLC, aka Muzatch, gives the iPhone its much needed battery power boost, by developing the world’s most powerful and smallest (9.8 oz) solar power station specifically for the Apple iPhone series as well as the new Smartphone, iPod and Nano.

“With the need to move towards a more energy efficient nation, by investing in renewable sources of energy, it was imperative that we seek solar energy not only for our homes and businesses, but our electronic devices as well, and make it affordable,” says Willie E. Nason, Solarologist/Founder/Co-CEO, USA Solar and Digital Communications Technologies LLC , “Muzatch” brand name.

Our aim was to look at the most used electronic devices, not only in the US but worldwide, and how we could make them more energy efficient, i.e. the mobile phone. Solar energy devices for mobile phones and other devices such as laptops was the answer, thus the iPhone solar charger was developed. It has over 2000 uses, it will last over 4 years with continued daily use, (provided sun is available).

With over 95% of all Americans using mobile phones and laptops, and over 40 million iPhone users, losing power can be very frustrating, especially when an emergency hits of any kind.  Solar energy will be the best and only way to continue to operate and communicate with the various emergency agencies as well as family and friends.

Millions of Americans use the iPhone currently and so it was the first choice for developing the initial solar charger.  We are currently designing other solar chargers for several additional types of mobile phones, such as the “BlackBerry,” which will be coming in the near future.

“It’s almost unbelievable that something so small and compact can produce so much electrical power. To be able to instantly charge not only your iPhone, but iPod and Nanos, it’s simply Amazing,” says Jay Yenter, CEO, The Muzatch Co., a division of USA Solar and Digital Communications Technologies LLC.  “Especially in cases of emergency, or loss of power, no longer will you have to be tethered to your electrical a/c connection or care charger.”

The Muzatch Co. is leading the way in developing the latest in new solar energy products with exciting new models coming soon.  The MZH-1200 iPhone power station is now available worldwide through the Muzatch Co.’s website, at:www.muzatch.com.  It comes in 5 colors, white, black, blue, silver and GREEN! At this introductory price of only 49.59+s/h.

WindSpring, Inc., a leader in mobile data optimization technologies, today announced that DMTools™, the company’s software suite for mobile data optimization, now provides full interoperability with the Apple iPhone and iPad, including full support for iPhone SDK 3.2, OSX and XCode, Apple’s premiere OSX development environment.

“The powerful data management tools WindSpring has created are essential to the development of the next generation of rich, powerful mobile applications and services,” said Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies, a leading technology industry analysis and strategic planning firm.

WindSpring’s DMTools is a complete set of software tools for seamlessly optimizing application data in mobile, embedded and other space-constrained environments. It includes tools for analyzing data and data performance, libraries for data compression, access and update, utilities for optimizing the performance aspects of compressed data, and SDKs for the predominant desktop and embedded OS/IDE environments. In addition, DMTools enables advanced functions such as search and update — capabilities not previously available with traditional compression solutions.

“While the iPhone and iPad have led mobile application developers to push the boundaries of immersive and data-rich mobile applications, those devices still have only a fraction of the storage capacity of a PC,” said Tom Hunt, president and CEO of WindSpring. “WindSpring DMTools is the first tool set to optimize mobile application data on the device and make devicecommunications far more efficient.”

Cuppertino, CA – The Apple iPhone has long been the hot mobile device of the stars, including such big names as Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Aniston, Zac Efron and even the young Taylor Swift, so it’s no surprise that this year’s coveted Academy Awards SWAG bags include a little iPhone fun as well.

Apple Computer, Inc. has updated the iPhone developer SDK to allow VoIP over cellular networks. iCall is the first and only VoIP application that functions on the iPhone and iPod Touch over cellular 3G networks.

iCall is a market leader in desktop and mobile-based desktop calling platforms, including its highly popular version for the Apple iPhone.  Until today, restrictions imposed on developers prohibited VoIP functionality on any 3G network.

VoIP on the iPhone has been the source of many debates with companies such as Google being denied access to the platform and the FCC inquiring as to the restrictions in the Apple App Store; iCall is one of the few VoIP applications that has been permitted by Apple to operate on the iPhone platform.

With the latest revisions Apple has made to the iPhone developer agreement and Software Development Kit, iCall for the iPhone and iPod Touch now enabled unrestricted free local and long distance calling over 3G data networks.  iCall with support for VoIP over 3G networks is now available in the App Store for download.  iCall is the first and only VoIP application available for the iPhone platform that allows use over 3G networks.  iCall for the iPhone and iPod Touch may now be downloaded from the App Store at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icall-free-voip/id293837001?mt=8&uo=6

iCall CEO Arlo Gilbert is quoted as saying, “I applaud Apple’s decision to allow iCall to extend its functionality beyond Wi-Fi and onto the 3G networks. This heralds a new era for VoIP applications on mobile platforms, especially for iCall and our free calling model. I hope that now more developers will begin using our VoIP as a platform to integrate VoIP into their applications.”
