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. The App is called “OMG Texting Dictionary” and is the perfect companion App to the new book Read Between the Lines by author Shawn Marie Edgington. This is the first time a mobile App has been part of the Academy Awards SWAG.

Read Between the Lines: A Humorous Guide to Texting with Simplicity and Style, is a take on the pop-culture and text lingo that has sprung up everywhere around the practice of text messaging and tweeting. Thinking about sexting? Take a look at chapter 3 before sending that message. Want to know what “*$s” means? A helpful SMS acronym translator is included. The iPhone application gives you quick access to all the information you need to be considered “hip” in a world of CUL8R’s and ROTFL’s.

“It was an honor to be chosen to be included in this years Oscar SWAG bags” said Edgington, a successful female CEO and President of Granite Insurance Brokers. “Suddenly friends I haven’t talked to in ages are all coming out of the woodwork and volunteering to help hand out RBTL at the SWAG event down in Los Angeles!” Shawn’s 17 year-old daughter and semi-professional texter Nicole will be her assistant during the show event (mostly because she’s dying to meet Miley Cyrus), along with a photographer and a few “select” close friends.

OMG Text Dictionary was developed and designed by Clever Twist, a popular mobile development shop out of Atlanta, Georgia. The App can be found in the social media section of iTunes and the

San Francisco – A special Macworld 2010 conference session – targeted at corporate and business decision-makers – will attempt to demystify the entire process of producing custom iPhone and iPad software, from start to finish.

The high-level session, entitled: “Demystifying iPhone & iPad App Development: A Non-Technical Overview for Decision-Makers and Idea People,” will be held on Saturday, February 13th, from 10:30am to 11:45am, as part of the Macworld 2010 Conference & Expo, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

“What we’re doing here is unusual – and perhaps unprecedented,” says Ron Diamond of Los Angeles-based Parade of Progress Productions, who will present the session. “There’s lots of information out there for developers themselves … but to my knowledge, no one has ever tackled this all from the perspective of the Client: namely, just what does a decision-maker really need to know in order to lead the creation of their own branded ‘app’?”

The session thus encompasses the entire spectrum of developing software, both in general, and for the iPhone and iPad in particular.

“The mobile space has many untapped opportunities, especially for brand extension,” says Diamond. “But it’s a big challenge to get up to speed on such a vast and quite technical subject, and yet do it in a non-technical and unintimidating way. So we’re going to cover the gamut from what software development is and how the process works, all the way up through developing and deploying for the iPhone and iPad … and do it all in a little over an hour. It’s really quite ambitious.”

The session will culminate with a ‘big picture’ look at the future of Mobile. An extensive list of Action items and third-party resources will also be provided.

“Demystifying iPhone & iPad App Development” is presented as part of the “Users” track of the Macworld 2010 Conference.

Blue Planet Software, Inc., the company that manages the exclusive licensing rights to the Tetris® game, and EA Mobile™, a division of Electronic Arts Inc., today announced at a press conference at the EA Montreal studio that Tetris has reached over 100 million paid downloads on mobile phones since 2005, making it the pre-eminent game for the platform. Since becoming the exclusive mobile publisher for Tetris in 2006, EA Mobile has brought a number of Tetris games to almost all mobile platforms including the App Store^SM.

“Tetris on mobile will never go away,” said Henk Rogers, CEO of Blue Planet Software. “As mobile devices get into the hands of more people, so does Tetris. People are always looking for ways to fill their time — be it in waiting rooms or on the bus — and with the advent of touch screens and improved platforms, our eyes are opened to a whole new way to develop games. After Tetris’ success with the Game Boy in 1989, we always hoped that potential would carry over into today’s mobile devices. It’s a testament to the game’s staying power that it remains popular on today’s most modern technology.”

Over its 25-year history, the Tetris game has been sold on almost every gaming platform. Currently, the game’s greatest growth is occurring on mobile platforms.

“Tetris is the biggest franchise in mobile gaming, which speaks to the evergreen nature of the brand and the fact that it translates to any platform,” said Adam Sussman, VP Worldwide Publishing for EA Mobile. “Our strong relationship with Blue Planet Software has enabled us to optimally adapt Tetris to the ever evolving handset market while keeping the true spirit of the game alive. 100 million paid downloads are testament to this.”

Created in 1984 by Russian-born mathematician Alexey Pajitnov, the Tetris game has become a worldwide success model for the gaming industry. Tetris was first available on mobile in 2001, the product of collaboration between Rogers and Takeshi Miyaji of Japan’s G-mode.

“Tetris provided the crucial building blocks for our company when we started 10 years ago,” said Miyaji, president of G-mode, the exclusive distributor of Tetris in Japan. “Just this past year alone our ‘Tetris League’ game in Japan has been played nearly 100 million times. As G-Mode and Blue Planet Software grow alongside each other, we hope to continue our contributions to Tetris’ recognition and popularity.”

In addition to reaching this mobile milestone, the Tetris brand has created numerous headlines in the past year. It is currently celebrating its 25^th Anniversary, which officially kicked-off in June 2009 at an event attended by thousands of videogame enthusiasts and journalists from E3 in Los Angeles. And in September 2009, a scientific study published by BMC Research Notes showed that participants who played the Tetris game over time had increased efficiency and a thicker cortex in areas of the brain linked to critical thinking and coordinated movement.
