San Diego, CA – Trader Vic’s Los Angeles announces a special promotion whereby it will be giving away iTiki(TM) iPhone cases to the first 50 customers on Thursday, March 25.

John Valencia, Big Kahuna at Trader Vic’s LA, said, “We love these iTiki cases and we want our customers to know about them too. The first fifty folks who come in on March 25th will get their very own iTiki case. They just need to get here in time while we have them in stock.”

iTiki was designed in Oahu, Hawaii and the first authentic Tiki-based iPhone case. Terence Goggin, creator of iTiki, explains how the case came about, “I love tiki. I love everything tiki. I’m a bit obsessed. It occurred to me that there were other folks who loved tiki like I do and had iPhones.”

The cases were designed over a 2-month period with the goal of capturing the fun and exotic nature of tiki art and culture.

Valencia added, “What better place than Trader Vic’s, the home of the original Mai Tai to let the world know about one more way to tiki-fy your life.”

Also appearing at Trader Vic’s on March 25th will be DJ Jay Strongman’s EDEN event. The pioneer in the booming club London club scene, Strongman mixes house, electro, disco, world music, hip hop, funk, northern soul and rock music that keep crowds entertained all night. Strongman is often requested for nightclubs, private parties and events for Madonna, Pink, Playboy’s Hugh Hefner, Whitney Houston Sony Music and MTV Europe. Now Trader Vic’s at L.A. LIVE patrons won’t even have to pay a cover to be treated to his weekly performances.

Goggin added, “This is such an exciting event. Not only will customers be able to get their own FREE iTiki case, but they’ll be able to experience this incredible DJ at work.”

The cases are only available for the first fifty customers so customers should arrive promptly at 8pm to guarantee their own case.

iTiki is available in two forms:
* Cosmic Blue–this iTiki was crafted to match the blue of the ocean
* Earthly Orange–this iTiki is the closest thing to a wooden Tiki sculpture

Incline Village, Nevada – Xeric Design today is pleased to announce the release of EarthDesk 5.3, an update to its award-winning, real-time dynamic desktop map. Version 5.3 provides a work-around for a long standing screen saver issue in OS 10.6. In addition, minor updates to the city database and help system are included.

EarthDesk replaces your static desktop with an image of the Earth showing current sun, moon and city illumination, as well as real-time global cloud coverage, allowing you to track hurricanes and other weather systems on your Macintosh or Windows desktop.

The software operates silently in the background, keeping your desktop updated while you work. Unlike a screen saver, which only appears when your system is idle, EarthDesk’s dynamic desktop is continuously displayed as your desktop background (and optionally as a screen saver).

Major new features introduced in EarthDesk 5:
* Faster rendering, lower processor usage, more robust and a cleaner interface
* Seasonal maps, with snow and vegetation levels changing month-to-month
* Supports higher resolution map and cloud data on large displays
* Adjustable brightness and background color
* Starfield background option
* Updated political map now displays city lights and/or moonlight
* Supports dual GPUs controlling a single screen as with the new unibody Macs
* Checks for updates automatically

Other improvements in EarthDesk 5:
* The globe projection can now be positioned anywhere on the screen
* EarthDesk now properly handles monitor attach/detach while running
* When overlaying desktop pictures, the image aspect ratio is respected
* Original desktop restored upon quit, including periodic picture changing
* EarthDesk now displays details of the cloud capture date and time
* The evaluation watermark in the unlicensed version is now softer

EarthDesk 5 is a full rewrite, with many internal improvements:
* EarthDesk’s rendering engine has been fully rewritten in Cocoa
* 32/64 bit application and ready for Snow Leopard
* No dependence on older Carbon or QuickDraw technologies

Pricing and Availability:
EarthDesk 5.3 requires Mac OS X 10.5 or newer. Single user copies may be purchased online for $24.95 (USD). Upgrades are available for $12.95 for licensed users of version 4 and $17.95 for licensed users of versions 1, 2 and 3.

Chicago, Illinois – Yazsoft today is proud to announce Playback 1.5.1, an important update to their popular zero configuration media server for Mac OS X. With a focus on ease-of-use, Playback allows anyone to share their media with any Playstation 3, Xbox 360, or other supported UPnP compatible device. Playback can also share media stored in folders or even make entire disks available to a Playstation 3 or Xbox 360. No configuration required. Version 1.5.1 brings a highly anticipated feature to PS3/Xbox users – built-in HD MKV support to all PS3/Xbox users without the use of messy and resource hogging transcoding.

Playback is engineered for extreme performance, while at the same time delivering a streamlined design with unparalleled reliability and stability. By default, it will share almost any content on the users system. And Playback automatically integrates with iTunes, iPhoto, Aperture, Adobe Lightroom 2, Photobooth, and EyeTV too, making it a perfect complement to Apple’s iLife Suite. Users can share all content from these applications transparently or choose specific playlists and albums.

Those who like to tinker will appreciate Playback’s built-in Access Control List (ACL) and bandwidth throttling. The ACL allows users to control which devices have access to their media. Bandwidth throttling limits the transfer rate from the computer to their UPnP device. This allows others on the network to do other internet related activities, such as surf the web and check their email.

Playback was engineered for extreme speed, while offering complete control of shared content. Media is served via lighttpd, the same rock-solid technology that powers YouTube, Wikipedia, and many other popular sites. Playback sports many creature comforts as well, including Growl notifications, Spotlight based searching, on-screen thumbnails (powered by QuickLook), and much more. Playback even includes a handy Status menu which conveniently displays live stream info, at-a-glance.

Feature Highlights:
* Streamlined design
* Unparalleled performance and stability
* Share movies, music, and pictures
* Built-in support for HD MKV files
* Transparent integration with iTunes, iPhoto, Aperture, Photobooth, Adobe Lightroom 2 & 3, and EyeTV recordings
* Complete control of shared content
* Spotlight based searching
* Quicklook thumbnails for all media
* Bandwidth throttling
* ACL access
* Growl notifications
* Status menu with live stream info
* And much more

What’s changed in 1.5.1:
* New: Many MKV files that failed to convert previously will now work.
* New: Changed the way pictures are organized for improved browsing via the Playstation 3.
* New: Playback now broadcasts a UPnP “reset” if/when the machine’s IP address changes.
* New: The demo period has been reset for users who’ve tried Playback before.
* Fixed: Minor bug fixes & enhancements.

System Requirements:
* Requires Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard or later
* 47 MB Hard Drive Space
* Any Playstation 3, Xbox 360, or other supported UPnP compatible device
* Network connection (Gigabit recommended for HD)

Pricing and Availability:
Playback is offered at the low price of $15.00 (USD) for three (3) licenses, and can be purchased from the Yazsoft website. A free 7 day demo is also available for download.

“When we launched three years ago, we were the first regional provider of online business news.

“We have been receiving more and more requests for an app since the iPhone was released to more networks last year and we are all about giving users the best information in whatever format they want. We will be following this launch with an app for the Blackberry and other platforms too,” added Parkin.

Based in Leeds, TheBusinessDesk was launched in 2007 by former Yorkshire Post business editor David Parkin; it now employs a total of 17 journalists and support staff and is set to turnover £1m this year. The service sends more than 500,000 emails bulletins to business readers every month and in January launched a third site in the West Midlands, which has already attracted more than 2,500 registered users in its first month.

The BusinessDesk app is available to download free from the iTunes store and is completely free to use. The development of the app has been between Leeds based app specialists The Engine Room and Liverpool web firm Rippleffect who manage the growing portfolio of TheBusinessDesk sites.

Ashdod, Israel – Apparent Software announced today the participation of Cashculator and ImageFramer in the TheMacBundles March bundle.

Cashculator is a Mac way for users to track their cash flow. It is a different kind of personal finance application – instead of focusing on the past and logging previous transactions, it focuses on the future by forecasting a user’s financial situation. It helps people to make better decisions about their personal finances as well as the finances of any small business that they may own.

Cashculator is different from most other personal finance applications, which are usually complex, costly and focus on past performance by logging and tracking transactions that previously occurred on users’ accounts. Unlike them, Cashculator is very easy to use: There is no need to define your accounts and configure the application, and there are no complex dialog boxes, no credits, no debits, and no portfolio management to deal with. With Cashculator, there are just simple numbers: income and expenses.

Cashculator is the simplest way to manage personal finance. Like a spreadsheet, Cashculator is very visual and straightforward. Built specifically for personal finance, Cashculator improves upon a spreadsheet by supporting budgeting, easy “what-if” scenario comparisons, and more.

ImageFramer allows to frame images with beautiful photo-realistic and artistic frames. It is used by thousands of professional artists, photographers, bloggers and just people who want their family photos to look better.

ImageFramer helps you to make your photos stand out with life-like frames for a professional look. Decide how to best frame your art by comparing multiple designs. Easily frame and watermark your entire photo collection. ImageFramer is very easy to use, but it also has a multitude of features, like adapting the color of the frame and mat for the best painting appearance before ordering a real one, selecting background color to preview hanging on a wall, easily comparing multiple variations for each image, watermarking, shadows, batch framing etc. ImageFramer has received Apple Staff Pick Award.

In addition to Cashculator and ImageFramer, the bundle includes 11 other high quality Mac software products.

TheMacBundles can be purchased for a great low price of only $49.95 (USD). Users can receive an additional $5 off on each bundle while buying a Weekly Special title at the same time they buy the bundle. All software titles included in TheMacBundles come with the same level of customer support, the same upgrade privileges, and the same features that apply to users that paid the full retail price for the software. Also, all of the programs included in a bundle on TheMacBundles are the latest versions of the software. The bundle is backed up by a 30-day money back guarantee.

Los Angeles, California – 24×7digital today is pleased to announce the release of Smiley Sight Words 1.0, a new educational flash-card app for iPhone and iPod touch. Smiley Sight Words is a comprehensive flash-card learning tool containing over 1,500 high-frequency sight words, compiled from a variety of sources including Dolch, Fry, Pinnell-Fountas, and UK word lists. Flash-cards respond to taps, swipes, and shakes – students may tap the displayed sight word to hear professionally recorded American-English pronunciations; swipe flash-cards to navigate the stack of words; and shake their iPhone to shuffle the flash-cards.

Features:
* Over 1,500 common sight words
* Choose from over 80 pre-defined word lists or create your own custom set
* Tap a card to hear the word spoken
* Mark flash cards with smileys based on right or wrong answers
* View history results for each card
* Easily switch between cards by swiping, tapping or shaking
* Beautifully recorded American-English pronunciations for all words
* Show and Hide individual words
* Customizable settings for up to 5 players
* Player names and photos can be customized
* Progress Report can be saved to Photo Library
* In-app Help documentation

The fun-to-use smiley rating system allows a parent or teacher to rate a student’s mastery of each word. Students are encouraged to earn 3 thumbs-up smileys for each word, and may view their progress report at any time. Students advance to higher levels after learning the words in the current stack.

Rating System Levels:
* Top 1000 – 40 levels sorted by frequency
* Dolch 300 – 7 levels (pre-primer, primer, grade 1-3, nouns 1-2)
* Dolch 300 – 11 levels sorted by frequency
* Fry 1000 – 10 levels sorted by frequency
* UK 1000 – 10 levels sorted by frequency

The 1,500 sight words included with Smiley Sight Words comprises up to 85% of the text in a child’s early reading materials. A child who can recognize just 8 of 10 words in a sentence can typically understand its meaning! “Sight words” often cannot be illustrated via simple pictures or sounded out according to regular phonetic decoding rules, thus they need to be learned and recognized “on sight”. Smiley Sight Words is a handy way to keep track of and encourage a child’s mastery of their sight words.

System Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later
* 20.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Smiley Sight Words 1.0 for iPhone is only $0.99 (USD) and available exclusively through Apple’s App Store in the Education category.

Corel Springs, FL – Announcing that ScavoMed, the developers of Pocket Therapy 1.0, is proud to launch a unique product. It is the only application available that gives very specific therapeutic routines for the fifteen most common injuries. The Pocket Therapy app is like having a physical therapist in your iPhone, providing injury specific information, advice and exercises, complete with photo and video demonstrations.

Pocket Therapy was developed to answer a growing need. “The inspiration for this app came from patients of mine who were seeking home physical therapy. Many didn’t have accepted insurance or the time to be seen by a physical therapist,” explained Ross Scavo, certified athletic trainer and owner of ScavoMed. He designed the application to also provide answers to an array of common questions that came up during patient visits.

To date, Pocket Therapy is the only app available that offers very specific therapeutic routines for fifteen of the most common injuries, including achilles tendonitis, ankle sprain, calf strain, epicondylitis, groin strain, hamstring strain, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, shin splints, shoulder impingement, TMJ, rotator cuff strain, knee pain, low back pain, and neck pain.

Each injury listing contains basic information and advice to inform and guide sufferers to a more comfortable life. All of the recommendations are specific for each injury, letting users know about whether or not to take an over-the-counter medication, which types of massage may help and if they should apply heat or not. This is all very practical and necessary to help users achieve maximum success with the exercise portion of the program.

The feeling of having a physical therapist in a device hits home with the strengthening and stretching exercises, which are meant to help users overcome pain and regain flexibility. Scavo has included photos and video demonstrations to help patients understand and safely follow the treatment steps. Thanks to Scavo’s background in athletic training, the therapeutic routines are professionally based and users can trust the source.

Pocket Therapy Features:
* Physical therapy instructions for 15 most common injuries
* Injury information
* Strengthening and/or stretching exercises
* Pictures of each pose for exercises
* Video demonstration
* Advice about when to use heat treatment, when to use certain types of massage and over-the-counter medication to take
* App was created by a Certified Athletic Trainer

To assist in future, ScavoMed is including one of their previous apps, R.I.C.E., which is a quick, first-aid reference manual for a wide variety of common injuries. For anyone in need of physical therapy for one of the listed conditions, Pocket Therapy may be the perfect answer. It’s low cost, private, convenient and well worth checking out.

Device Requirements
* iPhone 3GS and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 3.1.3 or later
* 206 MB

PasswordWallet makes it easy for users to lock and unlock all of their passwords with a single master password. They can even save web addresses, and PasswordWallet will launch the default browser automatically. The application’s auto-typing feature fills in the required user name and password, allowing users to quickly login to any previously visited website.

Version 4.5 adds 4 completely new synchronization modes: Computer-to-iPhone, Computer-to-Computer, MobileMe and WebDAV. In addition, the app is available now for Windows XP through Windows 7 as a beta release. Early adopters may purchase it now at a discount and receive the finished, retail version free when released. “These days it’s impossible to keep all our sensitive, personal information in our heads,” asserted PasswordWallet creator Sanford Selznick. “And you can’t write it all down, because it can easily get into the wrong hands.

New York, NY – Announcing that Spurrier Group, the developers of eyeBuy Visual Search, has released the 1.5 version of their app for users looking for price deals. The application offers a myriad of local shopping search engine results, which can be obtained with barcode scans, photos or used manually to find the best online deals for specific products. A combination of learned image recognition and a speedy performance makes eyeBuy Visual Search a fast, easy resource for bargain hunters.

Whereas finding the prices on products used to involve reading flyers and driving from store to store, the best deals on the web can now be located simply and quickly by using the eyeBuy Visual Search app. Users can scan the UPC barcode of a product or snap a photo of it. eyeBuy Visual Search software uses that code or picture to search through several shopping search engines to return results that are local to the user’s region. In other words, a search engine like Amazon would only search the U.S. site if the user is located there.

Currently, there are seven search engines being used, with more being added shortly:
* Google Products
* Yahoo! Shopping
* Bing Shopping
* Kelkoo
* Amazon
* Pricegrabber
* Craigslist local
* More search engines coming

This application features the newest technology being employed – learned recognition, content-based image retrieval. That means that the app learns, based on the images that are used. The more times an image is used for searching, the finer the search results become for that product.

Almost anything can be searched for by UPC code or photo. Most common items are CD’s, DVD’s, records and household items. With items like computer peripherals, grocery items, and household goods, the learned recognition comes into play. Once several people scan the same item for searching, the app will realize what it is and know where to look for it.

Features:
* Cutting-edge, content based image retrieval (CBIR) platform
* Integrated with Occipital’s RedLaser to read UPC and EAN barcodes
* App automatically returns results applicable to a user’s region
* Faster performance than ever before
* Can be used globally
* Works manually for iPod touch devices without a camera
* Uses learned recognition for increased search and find ability
* Even more search engines, speed, real-time product recognition and in app purchases of products available soon

While eyeBuy Visual Search works for both the iPhone and iPod touch devices, there are some models of iPod touch that do not have a built-in camera. In that case, users are still able to take advantage of what the app has to offer, they just do their searches manually.

Although this application presents the latest, easiest, fastest shopping searches available, upcoming releases to add even greater speed and functionality are in the works. One of the new features will allow users to purchase the deals they find from within the app and have the product delivered to their door. Is eyeBuy Visual Search changing the way people shop? Undoubtedly and for the better. People can save time, work and money without having to leave their devices. Shopping doesn’t get much easier than that.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 3.1 or later
* 2.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
eyeBuy Visual Search 1.5 is only $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.
