Press Release - Seline HD is a great live performance and improvisation music instrument

Tue, 31 Aug 2010

Seline HD (http://amidio.com/seline) is a great live performance and improvisation music instrument that will keep the players entertained for hours, even those who haven't touched any music instrument before. Highly advanced CrystalClarity HD sound engine is capable of analyzing and predicting melodies, altering the sound on the fly with a dozen of subtle algorhythms that add unbelievable expression, character and life to the generated music.

Seline HD features a completely new, ergonomically designed playing surface called ioGrid, suitable for players with all hand sizes. The melodies are supposed to be played with two hands, while keeping the iPad on the knees or on the table. Fully adjustable 16-note scale is divided into 2 parts (odd and even), which are then mapped on the left and right grids. Such way of note mapping is beneficial to the existing linear scale mapping solutions as it allows many more improvisation possibilities.  Such approach also guarantees that the player is never out of tune.

we7 makes the music pay for 6.5 million songs
 
25.08.10: Today, we7, the UK music streaming service announced that it has exceeded 6.5 million licensed songs for its music platform.  The site currently has over 3 million UK users and it announced earlier in the year that it was the first company to demonstrate that the music on-demand ad-funded model can work in the mainstream market.
 
In August 2009, we7 had around 3,000,000 of songs on its site, showing an increase of 116% in the last 12 months.
 
Commenting on the milestone, Steve Purdham, CEO, we7, said: “We have learnt that the quality of the music database was far more important than the size, and having the right songs has always been better for our audience than simply having lots of songs.  However we are ecstatic that we can continue to increase the depth of the music for our users and that we can embrace more artists and labels, paying them a fair amount for every song that is played.”
 
Continuing its policy of constant innovation in the year to date, we7 has launched its iPhone app, its Android app is in beta and there have been numerous functionality updates too, including integrated lyrics, gig data and merchandise finder as well as an innovative advertising partnership with Yahoo!
 
ENDS

Tue, 24 Aug 2010

Iomega Sets the Market Standard for Portable Hard Drives – First to Offer New SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Models at USB 2.0 Prices!
***
Award-Winning Premium eGo Portable Hard Drive Line
First to Feature All USB 3.0 Models with Hardware Encryption
And Industry-Leading Ruggedness
 
SAN DIEGO, August 24, 2010 – Iomega, an EMC company (NYSE: EMC) and a leading innovator in digital protection solutions for consumers and small and medium businesses, announces that it is moving to the new SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface for all Iomega USB 2.0 portable hard drives, beginning with the award-winning line of Iomega® eGo™ Portable Hard Drives.  The new all-USB 3.0 eGo Portable Hard Drives will feature hardware encryption and super toughness, too, thanks to a drop spec twice the industry average – all at USB 2.0 product prices.  This market-leading move continues Iomega’s tradition of technology leadership.
 
“As a market leader in external hard drive solutions, Iomega is proud to be the first to move towards an all USB 3.0 portable hard drive lineup – and at no extra price premium to our customers,” said Jonathan Huberman, president of Iomega Corporation and the Consumer and Small Business Products Division of EMC.  “With a super fast USB 3.0 interface delivering speeds of up to 10 times that of USB 2.0, super tough with a 7-foot drop spec that’s twice the industry average and super secure with AES 256 hardware encryption, Iomega’s eGo Portable Hard Drives will be the premium must-have portable storage product.  Factor in our bundled software Protection Suite with popular titles such as Iomega’s QuikProtect, v.Clone and Trend Micro’s Internet Security, and that makes Iomega’s USB 3.0 eGo Portable Hard Drives an exceptional premium solution at the same price as most entry level basic USB 2.0 products.”
 
USB 3.0 Transition Timeline for Iomega Portable Hard Drives
Iomega plans to move all eGo Portable Hard Drives in 500GB* and 1TB** capacities to the new USB 3.0 interface by early October.  Totally compatible will all USB 2.0 computers, the new USB 3.0 eGo Portable Hard Drives will include Iomega’s industry-leading Drop Guard™ Xtreme, which provides added protection from drops of nearly seven feet or twice the industry average***.
 
In the first quarter of 2011, Iomega plans to move the Iomega® Prestige Compact Portable Hard Drive line to USB 3.0 on all models.  Shortly thereafter, Iomega will move the rest of its portable external hard drive models to the USB 3.0 interface.
 
Perfect for slipping into a laptop bag or pocket, all of Iomega’s 2.5-inch portable hard drives are host powered, requiring no external power supply beyond the power provided through the USB bus on a personal computer, laptop or netbook.  Iomega’s new USB 3.0 portable hard drives are completely backward compatible with personal computers and other devices that only have USB 2.0 ports.  Iomega offers USB 3.0 adapter cards (sold separately) to insert into USB 2.0 laptop and desktop computers so users can experience native USB 3.0 transfer speeds of up to 5 gigabits per second.
 
More Than Just a Portable Hard Drive – A Total Solution
Iomega prides itself on providing total solutions, which is why all of the new Iomega USB 3.0 eGo Portable Hard Drives come complete out of the box with 256-bit hardware encryption built-in (PC only), as well as the cables required to enjoy your drive right away, whether your desktop or laptop has USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 ports.  The Prestige family of portable hard drives will also feature 256-bit hardware encryption built-in (PC only) with the transition to USB 3.0 models in the first quarter of 2011.
 
Best Software Package Bundled With Portable Hard Drives Today
Included free of charge with all of Iomega’s eGo and Prestige Portable Hard Drives is the Iomega Protection Suite, a one-stop portfolio of backup and anti-virus software giving users added protection for their photos, videos, music and other files.

Press Release - Thomson Reuters releases EndNote X4 for Mac

Mon, 23 Aug 2010

THOMSON REUTERS SHIPS ENDNOTE X4 FOR MAC OS X
 
Popular bibliographic management solution now adds references from full text PDF files,
addresses new journal style requirements, and more

Philadelphia, PA, London, UK, August 23, 2010 –Thomson Reuters today announced the immediate availability of EndNote® X4 for Mac ® OS X, the bibliographic management and publishing solution used by millions of researchers, librarians and students worldwide. With EndNote X4 researchers can import and search PDF files, collaborate more with EndNote Web, use new Cite While You Write™ features and more.
 
“EndNote X4 for Mac OS X introduces new efficiencies for users including the simple drag and drop of PDF files that saves multiple steps while building their research library,” said Keith MacGregor, executive vice president, Thomson Reuters. “This and other new features such as the enhanced interoperability between EndNote and the ResearcherID author community furthers our commitment to provide solutions that automate processes whenever possible, enabling users to focus on their research and writing instead of the technical details.”
 
Create new records from PDF files
Users can now import a full text PDF—even a folder containing multiple PDF files—to add new references with the full text attached. Mac users have the added advantage of being able to drag a PDF file onto the EndNote icon on the Dock to add a new reference to their library. EndNote extracts basic bibliographic information using the Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) and CrossRef® data to create new records in a reference library. And, PDF files are now searchable in EndNote providing users with greater depth in exploring their reference collection.
 
Simplify collaboration with EndNote Web
EndNote users can access their references anywhere and collaborate with colleagues using their EndNote Web account. Researchers can transfer up to10,000 references between the desktop and Web and search shared groups when selecting references to cite, making it easy to collaborate with others on research projects. Reference lists can be sorted by Times Cited, date added to the library or date modified to locate references quickly. And authors can use EndNote Web to manage their personal publication lists for the free ResearcherID (www.researcherid.com) community, where members are identified uniquely. References stored in the EndNote Web group are visible instantly in the public community where citation metrics are provided by Web of KnowledgeSM.
 
Use new Cite While You Write features
EndNote X4 introduces new formatting options for citing scholarly papers properly. EndNote links in-text citations to the bibliography automatically in Microsoft Word—with or without hyperlinks. Users also have increased options for formatting footnotes with customizable short forms as well as full support of the APA 6th style including a multiple author ellipse. The new combined Edit and Manage Citations command consolidates the most frequently used functions in one Cite While You Write window. And, users can view a report of references cited in a Word document with a new auto-group in the EndNote library.
 
Other features of the new version include:

The SanDisk iSSD drive is the first flash SSD device to support the industry standard SATA interface in a small BGA (Ball Grid Array) package that can be soldered onto any motherboard, and that is fast enough for use with advanced operating systems in next-generation mobile computing platforms.
 
“The new category of embedded SSDs should enable OEMs to produce tablets and notebooks with an unprecedented combination of thin, lightweight form factors and fast performance,” said Doron Myersdorf, senior director, SSD marketing, SanDisk. “With our embedded flash storage leadership, SanDisk believes it is uniquely positioned to deliver the ultra compact SSD solutions needed by OEMs.”    
 
“The ultra-thin tablet and mobile computer markets are expected to experience tremendous growth over the coming years, and new advanced platforms will introduce new requirements for storage solutions,” said Jeff Janukowicz, research manager, solid state drives, IDC. “New embedded SSDs such as the SanDisk iSSD drive, which meet the stringent size requirements of small and light devices while offering greater performance, are designed to enable OEMs to deliver an enhanced user experience in their next-generation designs."   
 
The SanDisk iSSD offers 160MB/sec sequential read and 100MB/sec sequential write speeds for greater system responsiveness*. With no moving parts, the tiny, robust drive is designed to deliver the durability needed by portable devices that are frequently dropped or jostled. SanDisk iSSD offers a substantial level of design flexibility for OEMs who seek to create the next generation of tablets and ultra thin mobile devices based on the standard SATA interface.
 
The SanDisk iSSD is available now for sampling to OEMs, and is being evaluated by top-tier manufacturers. Measuring 16mm x 20mm x 1.85mm and weighing less than one gram, the drive uses a BGA form factor and a SATA interface, and is compatible with all leading operating systems. SanDisk iSSD is available in capacities ranging from 4 gigabytes (GB)1 to 64GB, with pricing dependent upon the quantity ordered.

Press Release - skobbler 3.0 takes popular free iPhone navigation app to a whole new level

Wed, 18 Aug 2010

skobbler 3.0 takes popular free iPhone navigation app to a whole new level
 
New features, a complete new look and significantly enhanced core functionalities
 
Berlin, Germany, 18th August, 2010 - skobbler, creator of the first free turn-by-turn sat nav app for the iPhone, has today announced the launch of skobbler navigation 3.0, a groundbreaking leap forward for the popular application. skobbler 3.0 is available for download now, for FREE, at the UK App Store.
 
Following an impressive 100,000 UK downloads since June, a resounding win in a lawsuit against former parent company Navigon and a fresh round of venture investment, skobbler has put its positive momentum to good use by further developing and significantly improving its free iPhone navigation app. As well as offering full compatibility with Apple’s iOS4 firmware, skobbler 3.0 now delivers new levels of performance in a number of key areas.
 
Most visibly, skobbler has undergone a major user interface overhaul. Thanks to a fresh new look and feel, the system is clearer, easier and more accessible. In addition, skobbler 3.0 provides faster, easier routing thanks to an abundance of technical enhancements which significantly improve GPS positioning, performance and stability.
 
For ease of use, skobbler now includes Google local search which enables users to navigate to their place of choice with the tap of just one button, complementing the “traditional” address input. The iOS4 compatibility of skobbler also provides users with full access to their phone’s features without having to exit the skobbler app, allowing them to carry out tasks, such as taking a hands-free call, with skobbler still running in the background.
 
“skobbler 3.0 builds on the company’s reputation for developing a genuine alternative to costly and slow updating sat navs,” says Marcus Thielking, co-founder of skobbler. “The improvements are a reaction to UK customer feedback and we are pleased that these measures make our navigation software even more user-friendly. In just 5 weeks, skobbler users can already benefit from several enhancements and our promise to our customers is that we will continue to deliver lightning-fast cycles of free updates with significant improvements.” Thielking concludes, “We’ve really only just started. If we continue at this pace, just imagine what the future holds! I can’t give too much away at the moment, but as great as it is, our 3.0 version of skobbler is just the tip of the iceberg. We will be making several other major announcements in the forthcoming weeks.”
 
skobbler is a sat nav solution that empowers consumers to take matters into their own hands and make outdated and poorly detailed maps a thing of the past. It uses community maps from OpenStreetMap (OSM), the Wikipedia of maps that already has over 250,000 users worldwide dedicated to updating and creating the most detailed free map of the world. As a result, all users benefit from consistently updated maps without paying for expensive and already out-of-date updates.
 
-ENDS-
 
Price, availability and compatibility:
skobbler is free and is available on the App Store at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skobbler-uk-ireland-lite-truly/id374083118?mt=8. The skobbler app is compatible with iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4. You can find further information on recent developments at http://blog.skobbler.com.
 
skobbler sat nav app key features:
·         Turn-by-turn GPS navigation
·         Visual and voice-guided navigation
·         Choice between bird’s eye view or 2D graphics
·         Day and night display modes
·         iPod music playback during navigation

Fri, 13 Aug 2010

Football’s coming home with Virgin Media’s Sofa Stadium
 
Exciting, new online football app brings the crowd to the couch with social media, match statistics and fan interaction
Vote on player performance, refereeing decisions and cheer or jeer with other fans whilst watching a live match on TV
 
Virgin Media today announced the launch of its new online football app Sofa Stadium; a must-have for every football fan’s laptop incorporating match statistics, social networking and real-time voting, all designed to run alongside live Premier League football matches on TV. Designed from the ground up to provide a fun way to engage with fellow fans, Sofa Stadium ‘clicks off’ from this weekend’s first Premier League game on Saturday 14th August.
 
Freely available to anyone with an internet connection, Sofa Stadium helps fans enjoy the atmosphere of match day without obstructed views, overpriced car parking, cold weather and dodgy grub. With Sofa Stadium, fans can rant, rave and banter with fellow followers as the game unfolds; vote for the best player, and the worst; be heard at the click of a button by booing, cheering or singing, as if they were on the terraces.
 
Bringing together the multi-screen experience of Social TV to football, fans will be able to see what people are saying about the game on Twitter through Tweet Watch and have comments posted straight to social networks such as Facebook – all from the comfort of the couch. Channelling their passion, sofa supporters now have a place to vent their spleen in a social space, instead of shouting at the TV screen!
                                                                                         
Cindy Rose, executive director of digital entertainment at Virgin Media said “Sofa Stadium is the perfect place for armchair supporters, commentators and managers alike, to get actively involved in football, and a brilliant way to bring together the multi-screen entertainment experience. A perfect companion for fans looking to get the most of their football experience, Sofa Stadium provides an incredible way to enjoy the beautiful game, especially with Sky Sports now available in HD on Virgin Media.”
 
The Sofa Stadium online app can be accessed at www.sofastadium.co.uk from Saturday 14th August.

London, 12 August 2010 – Blackbox, the cutting-edge provider of best-in-class audio products, today announces the arrival of the M10 headphones, which virtually eliminate the effects of disturbing background noise such as people talking or engine hums through active and passive noise rejection.

Press Release - Bear Grylls and Team Depart UK for North West Passage Expedition with help from Pure Technology

Tue, 10 Aug 2010

Bear Grylls and Team Depart UK for North West Passage Expedition with help from Pure Technology
 
London, 10th August 2010: Final preparations are underway as Bear Grylls and Team prepare to embark on their Future Capital Partners sponsored expedition to navigate the legendary North West Passage using a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) for the first time in history!
 
With just over three weeks to go, Bear Grylls and his team of four intrepid explorers (Tim Levy, Dave Pearce, David Segel and Ben Jones) along with their support and logistics team (including John Coffey and David Smith), are making the final preparations for their expedition to navigate 5700 nautical miles of the infamous ice strewn North West Passage, linking the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans via the Arctic. The team will undertake the expedition on a customised Zodiac RIB, christened ‘Arctic Wolf’ by the team - the first time a RIB will have been used to navigate the entire North West Passage.
 
The 14 day expedition, which departs Pond Inlet, Nunavut, Canada on 28th August and is due to arrive at Tuktoyaktuk, North West Territories, Canada around 11th September, has been set up to increase awareness of the effects of Global Warming and to raise money for UK Charity Global Angels.  The North West Passage remains frozen for many months of the year and offers a journey fraught with dangers and on-going challenges (polar bears, hypothermia, frostbite, snow blindness, sunstroke and dehydration to name a few), so it’s crucial the team has the right kit and technology to support it on this forthcoming adventure.

 Bear Grylls, extreme explorer comments:  “It has been a dream of mine for many years to try and follow in some of the greatest pioneers’ footsteps to achieve what so many explorers died attempting - to travel the North West Passage.  And, along the way we hope to raise vital and life-saving funds for children all around the world.  The small boat and ice will provide some of the biggest challenges, but we have a great team and with some luck and careful planning, we will pull this off, God willing.”
