Emerging Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (Pink Sheets: EHSI) enthusiastically welcomed a highly anticipated report that Apple has unveiled the new iPhone 4.0 Operating System, which the Company believes will greatly benefit the MedAnywhere medical app currently in development. Specifically, new multitasking ability can be applied so that a physician can initiate patient monitoring subroutines without having to exit the MedAnywhere live communications portal. The Company expects this upgrade to bolster the MedAnywhere application’s advanced flexibility in the remote and mobile medical treatment arenas.

According to Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs, the previous version of the iPhone’s Operating System is installed in 85 million devices, including more than 50 million iPhones. This year, the total will surpass 100 million. The upgraded 4.0 software will be available for the iPhone and the iTouch around midyear, and for the iPad in September.

There is widespread speculation that new iPhone hardware also will be introduced around the time Apple makes the new iPhone software available. EHSI is monitoring this development very closely as it anticipates new equipment options to be made available for integration by the MedAnywhere application development team.

Consumers spent $2.4 Billion last year purchasing iPhone apps – a number that is expected to triple in the next three years. With 34 Million iPhone users currently connected to the system, the Company believes the MedAnywhere application could revolutionize the way patients interact with doctors and hospitals across America and around the world – including drastically lowering medical costs for the app subscriber.

EHSI took the lead in the new mobile Telemedicine industry through their prior licensing and development of an extraordinary ambulance trauma communications platform. This system was originally the brainchild of Dr. Red Duke and was funded through a $20 million US Department of Defense grant to the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at Houston. UT then engaged Texas A&M to fully develop the system.

iPhone Apps Are Latest Gold Rush

The iPhone has minted a gold rush. In just two years, the iPhone has become not just a gold mine for Apple Inc., but also for companies that create the software programs that run on the device. Since Apple launched its iPhone applications storefront via its iTunes software, more than 100,000 applications have been created (148Apps – Nov 2009), with more than 1 billion downloaded onto iPhones and iPod Touches.

iPhone applications are specially designed software programs that work exclusively on the iPhone. They vary from sports updates to video games to utilities that allow people to use their iPhones as flashlights or as locators of the nearest Tim Hortons.

For media companies especially, iPhone applications are about staying ahead of the curve. In industry parlance, it’s called being where the audience is. Optimistic industry observers such as Dale Fallon, director of Score Media Inc.’s mobile division, expect that within two or three years the audience for sports-based mobile Web sites and software will be the same size as the current Web audience.

Meanwhile, the applications act as incremental revenue streams, double as effective marketing tools and allow smaller media companies to extend their brands.

At Pelmorex Media Inc.’s Weather Network (Canada), the iPhone application WeatherEye is just part of the channel’s expanding mobile arsenal. The network’s offerings include a mobile Web site, desktop widgets and an application launched in March for use on the BlackBerry device.

The free WeatherEye has been downloaded almost 750,000 times since the end of October, with just under half of those by people outside of Canada. The French version of the application is the most popular weather application in France.

“From a return on investment perspective, it absolutely makes sense,” said Mark Thompson, director of The Weather Network’s mobile division.

Apple takes a 30% cut of any iPhone applications that are sold at its virtual store, but for applications offered for free, the companies do not have to share their advertising revenue with Apple.

The surge in iPhone applications has also benefited developers. With companies now scrambling to find anyone capable of making these programs, some developers command upwards of $200 per hour and applications cost between $15,000 to $50,000 to create.

Certain developers have found themselves in the spotlight after finding some of their applications – which invairiably retail for less than $5 – have yielded more than $250,000 in sales in thier first couple of months, convincing some to give up their day jobs in the process.

“It’s a market that has appeared out of nowhere, really,” said Ian Maskell, SEO of CA-based application developers site iPhone App Freelancer.

“All of a sudden, anyone who knows how to make an iPhone app are making lots of money off it. It’s one of those things that doesn’t come around very often but when it does, the first people through the gate make a bundle,” he said.

However, with developers being in such high demand, the prices quoted for the development of some applications is proving prohibitive for many, so Maskell came up with a plan.

With what he believed to be a killer application idea, but struggling to find a developer (within his budget) who could help, Maskell set about creating iPhone App Freelancer, to connect “ideas people” to programmers and developers. “Through our website we offer companies and individuals with great ideas the ability to turn them into iPhone apps with little or no programming knowledge”.

“Much like an auction, we bring entrepreneurs and businesses together with experienced iPhone application developers in the most cost effective manner possible” – says Maskell.

“We have approximately 800 members, and a pool of about 300 developers who receive notification whenever someone posts a new project,” he says. “I would estimate we’ve had close to 100 projects completed.”

And just how important will the iPhone become as an effective marketing tool in the coming months and years? “One customer stated that about 60% of the estimated five-million monthly page views they recieve on their site were generated by the iPhone” – Maskell states.

“With those kind of figures, you can see the potential is there for getting your brand exposed to a massive and ever increasing audience” Maskell continues – “from a business perspective, there is a massive captive audience at your disposal with the iPhone and the application market – the advertising potential is massive”.

The mobile advertising market is expected to hit $12-billion (USD) by 2013, compared with about $1.7-billion this year, according to research company Informa Telecoms & Media.

“If you’re not in the mobile space, you’re missing a very big opportunity to communicate with your consumers,” Mr. Maskell concludes.

InterLingua Educational Publishing is pleased to learn that its EngLits iPhone/iPod Touch app has been named a “Best iPhone App” by eight prominent technology and education websites in 2009. EngLits are detailed audio/text summaries of great literature by Shakespeare, Dickens, Austen, Hawthorne, Bronte, and other authors that can be played and read on an iPhone/iPod Touch.

Written by university professors and recorded by professional actors, EngLits tell the full story of the book or drama, including all characters and events that are important. The shortest EngLit is 21 minutes of audio and 10 pages of text (Romeo & Juliet), and the longest is over four hours of audio and 73 pages of text (Middlemarch). By formatting the summaries for iPhone/iPod Touch, listeners can “study” while riding on the bus, jogging, biking, lounging, and even walking the dog.

There are over 70 titles in the collection, which were selected to cover the gamut of required reading, so students will find EngLits helpful with term papers and exams.

The eight websites that acknowledged the EngLits content include:
* One of 100 Awesome iPhone Apps to Work and Study from the Beach (Online College Reviews)
* One of the Top 20 iPhone Apps for Overwhelmed Students (Phlebotomy Technician Schools)
* A Best iPhone App (Best Iphone Apps Review)
* A Best App (App Beacon)
* One of the Best 100 iPhone/iPod Apps for Educators (iPhonelk)
* One of the Top 50 iPhone Apps for Educators (Online Education Databasse)
* One of the 100 Apps for Tech-Savvy Teachers (Rasmussen College)
* One of the 100 Best iPhone Apps for Personal Development (Job Profiles)

“Obviously, we’re quite pleased,” says Jack Bernstein, Publisher of InterLingua. “With a hundred thousand apps out there, it’s nice to be recognized, especially by so many prominent websites in different fields. We put a lot of time and effort into the EngLits app to make it a valuable tool for students and I’m glad that so many people noticed.”

EDUmobile, the Mobile Training Lab behind the world’s most popular Online One-on-One Interactive iPhone Course with over 150 students in live training, is now offering the course for free to the first 10 early bird students. To avail of the offer, the student must currently be enrolled in any school or college across the globe. Students, simply need to enter the promo code STUDENTOFFER while registering, and they must have a .edu email address and/or provide proof that they are in college.

Recently, there has been a sudden spike in demand for iPhone development skills, at a global level. The increased demand replicates the demand for website developers when the Internet quickly became mainstream over 15 years ago. Students who move early and acquire iPhone Development skills, can add significant value to their profile and resume, thereby ensuring higher paying jobs. Alternatively, students in schools and colleges all across the globe may directly publish their own iPhone Apps on the Appstore, and thus open up a revenue stream to earn money directly from Apple Inc, while still in pursuit of their educational goals.

“There have been many successful stories of young students receiving hefty revenue checks from Apple, for their successful iPhone Apps. Our Interactive iPhone Training Program has been very well received by the development community at a global level, and we are getting candidates from all parts of the globe. We felt that we should give back to the student community in some way, and also simultaneously create awareness in the student community that our course can be done on the side, while attending school or college.” said Vishal Lamba, co-founder of EDUmobile. “It could make great pocket money for almost any student. But, if you have a unique App idea, and you’re smart and creative – you could end up with a significant pile of cash! So, if you have an iPhone App idea, but did not know where to begin, there couldn’t be a better time to get started.”

EDUmobile is offering the course complimentary to the first 10 early bird students, on a first-come first-served basis. To check availability, simply enter the promo-code STUDENTOFFER, while signing up. If there are open slots, it will reflect on the screen and you will have secured your complimentary seat.

The 60% promotional discount offer for students (that is, $80 fee for the full course) will be taken down after 100 students enroll.

The offer has been introduced to acknowledge that there are many students attending schools and colleges across the globe, who simply cannot afford the high training fees to learn iPhone programming.
