The app features VR content that provides an experiential view of the world's most amazing travel destinations. Zanadu, having recently raised more than CNY80 million (USD12.5 million+) in its A+ financing round led by Tencent Holdings Limited, is well-poised as an up-and-coming leader in travel technology and China's continually-growing luxury travel market.

China's first luxury travel website and online travel agency has expanded its platform into the world of Virtual Reality -- making Zanadu the first and only VR travel content producer and distributer in the market and enhancing the booking process with this latest technology. The Beijing-based company will also be China's very first VR Company to provide complete solutions that include VR content production, content distribution, marketing and booking services to the travel industry.

Leveraging Zanadu's leadership position in the luxury travel industry and existing business relationships with some of the world's most exclusive hotels and resorts, Zanadu will collaborate with premium partners in the luxury hotels and travel industries to produce premium travel VR content that features the most glamourous destinations to entice even the most discerning traveller.

"The luxury travel industry in China is experiencing a major growth spurt. The affluent Chinese traveller is always looking for new outlets to explore a chosen destination before making a financial commitment. Zanadu saw this demand as the perfect opportunity to create a virtual reality bridge between travellers and luxe destinations, through a unique experiential journey,'' said Creative Director & CMO of Zanadu, Dirk Eschenbacher.

''With VR becoming an increasingly hot topic, this move helps to push forward the Chinese VR Market, where currently only very limited VR content is available. This will help us to become the number 1 VR travel content producer and distributer in the Chinese market and also on a global level.''

Zanadu believes that "experiences and stories" are the building-blocks of life and carefully curate some of the world's best destinations and journeys where amazing experiences and stories are guaranteed to happen. Products such as boutique and design hotels, private villas, bespoke itineraries and luxury cruises cater to Chinese travellers who increasingly value experiences more than material possessions.

The company's initial foray into the Travel Virtual Reality includes a new APP which features China's first virtual reality (VR) travel film ''The Dream'', taking viewers onto a cinematic and immersive travel experience. The video is the first of many with 30-40 slated for release on the Zanadu platform and on 3rd party platforms like Samsung's MILK and Oculus and Youtube 360 in 2016 alone. In conjunction with the App launch, Zanadu also launched Zanadu Studio, a content production studio specializing in high-quality experiential and travel themed content, both in 2D and VR. Zanadu has also formed a strategic content partnership with Tencent Video to feature its travel VR content on Tencent's VR app. Both the major VR headset manufacturers and major video websites are moving towards launching VR platforms as the technology continues to gain popularity. However, quality content itself is in short supply and will be in much demand as more consumers adapt to VR. Live event broadcast and travel content offer a good user-case for the immersive medium and Zanadu plans to work with all major platforms to provide best-in-class travel VR content.

Zanadu is not only known for its selection of outstanding travel products, but also for high-end content with several impressive collaborations with top brands and celebrities. Notable projects include a very successful WeChat channel, and a short film with Cui Jian, the famed Chinese artist often cited as "the Father of Chinese Rock" in partnership with Maserati, a series of films with Mini Cooper, a travel-themed music video with Hong Kong actress and singer-songwriter Karen Mok and a personal travel journey with top fashion photographer Chen Man. By pioneering innovative travel content with Virtual Reality, Zanadu is aiming to bring experiential journeys even closer to the Chinese traveller.

Zanadu's initial 360 degree Virtual Reality Travel Journey, The Dream, was shot in Thailand in October 2015 and can be viewed online along with an exclusive behind-the-scenes video.

Tapinator undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. The
quoting and trading of the company's common stock on the OTC Market Group's OTC Link

prospects. As a result, there may be volatility in the market price of the shares of the
company's common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC
Market Group's OTC Link quotation system is not a stock exchange, and trading of
securities on it is often more sporadic than trading of securities listed on the NASDAQ
Stock market or another securities exchange. Accordingly, stockholders may have difficulty
reselling any of their shares. For a further description of the risks and uncertainties

Market Disruptor LeEco Launches Two Flagship Superphones - Le Max and Le 1s

DELHI, January 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    - Indian Consumers to Plug Into a New Ecosystem Era With LeEco  

    - Market Disruptor LeEco Brings a Phone With the World's Fastest Processor and Another
With the World's Fastest Battery Charging  

    - LeEco, Formerly Known as Letv Worldwide, Finally Entered India by Holding an
Extravaganza Official Launch Event in Gurgaon

    - LeEco Releases Le 1s, the Disruptive Flagship - Great Design, Power Packed Device at
an Amazing Price 

    LeEco released a flagship killer, Le 1s, which was released in China in November and
in a short 2-month, LeEco has sold more than 3 million Le 1s, the best seller in China and
other markets.

    Le 1s is equipped with Helio X10 Turbo, the flagship processor of the year with
outstanding features and performance. It not only gives users the best multimedia
experience and gaming experience without any lag or interruption, but also allows a quick
charge which means 5 minutes charge for a 3.5 hours of talk time.

    A good comparison with Le 1s is iPhone 6s plus, according to Atul Jain, COO of Smart
Electronics Business, Le Eco India. Although both have the same screen size, Le 1s' body
length and width are 7.1mm and 3.7mm shorter respectively than 6s plus, which means less
bulk, but more screen ratio for Le 1s. And the 7.5mm thick Le 1s weighs only 169 g, an
even 23 g lighter than the same screen sized iPhone 6s Plus.

    Le 1s's rare 13-megapixel camera is definitely worthy to mention about. Equipped with
blue glass infrared filter and ISOCELL, a technology interprets every single detail back
to life, the camera could capture the finest picture never a phone could make before.

    And thanks to the adopted three core focusing technologies, namely PDAF, ball bearing
VCM, Closed Loop, the camera could focus in a blink of eyes, 0.09 second. This makes the
phone a best choice for sport fans, who can capture finest and un-blurred picture even in
a fast-moving sports game.

    Le 1s has also the world's fastest fingerprint recognition technology, which can
unlock the phone from any angle within 0.15s with 99.3% accuracy, and the phone can
maximally add 5 fingerprints. Le 1s also has the world's first mirror-surfaced fingerprint
scanner which could be a gospel to appearance-loving persons.

    The full-metal aircraft grade aluminum unibody makes the phone scratch proof, for
which competitors can hardly offer the same level of resistance. Users can erase their
worries of having other hard or sharp objects in their pocket which may scratch the phone.

    A big outstanding and unique feature of Le 1s is its type-C port and fast charging
technology. Different from traditional charting ports, which may need users to fumble
twice in connecting correctly, type-C port is a two-way charging and customers can charge
either side up.

    And Le 1s has its unique fast charging technology, ensuring plugging for 5 minutes in
return for 3.5 hours of talk time, which is rarely seen with other existing brands.

    Le 1s is such an art piece that it even doesn't have a single screw in its body, which
is even not achieved by iPhones. Le 1s might be the world's only metal unibody phone
featuring a screwless industrial design, which upholds breathtaking minimalism.

    The super-slim body and bezel-less industrial design makes Le 1s a great choice for
business and entertainment and for almost all age groups. This is why LeEco called Le 1s
as "the Super Model".

    The price of the two flagship superphones is also shocking, not for its high end, but
for its below production cost pricing strategy.

    LeEco releases Le Max, a premium phone owning the fastest processor  

    Atul Jain, COO of Smart Electronics Business, Le Eco India, who used to serve in
Samsung as the Senior Vice President at South-West Asia Regional HQ, introduced the 6.33
inch screen Le Max as the premium phone of the company. This phone's slogan, 'Go Big, Go
Bold' was the brainchild of a Le Superfan, and its eUI (Eco User Interface) was constantly
improved with feedbacks from more than 200,000 users worldwide.

    Le Max is backed by the world's fastest processor, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, which
is primed for better multi-tasking and unrivaled performance, all thanks to an octacore
processor and the phone's 4GB DDR4 ram plus 64GB or 128G storages.

    To prove the phone's outstanding performance, LeEco compared Le Max with several other
international brands by adopting AnTuTu Benchmarking Scaling, which showed Le Max leaving
other flagships with the same Qualcomm 810 processor, like HTC one M9, Sony Xperia Z5, in
the dust with a performance score of almost 84,000.

    The 6-piece lens 21 Megapixel rear camera with Sony's IMX230 sensor and Optical Image
Stabilizer make sure the best and sharpest picture and video quality even in a dark
environment. The Dual tone flash has two sources of light with different color
temperatures ensuring the user getting the best balance of light when clicking pictures at
any time of the day. An even better performance than the latest iPhone 6s.

    LeMax is also the world's first phone with a 2K display and a 21 MP camera.

    The front camera with a wide angle 5P lens and F2.0 aperture allows people take the
best selfies and groupies. And a more user-friendly design is when taking selfies, people
can just touch the fingerprint scanner at the back to capture photos or videos, making a
large phone of a 6.33 screen easier for life.

    Le Max also boasts of the best-in-class Hi-Fi audio experience with features like
noise-reduction, lower surface noise, better frequency response and higher power output
capacity. LeEco has partnered with AKG Acoustics, a world-class audio equipment
professional company in Europe, to develop the Le Hi-Fi experience which delivers a
powerful, undistorted sound that music professional have trusted for almost 70 years.

    The full metal unibody design out of aircraft grade aluminum makes the phone
fashionable and sturdy, and Le Max is also the world's first full-floating glass, which is
a Sharp Screen exclusively for LeEco, and bezel-less design, reaching an unmatched viewing
experience.

    Atul, COO of Smart Electronics Business, Le Eco India, said Le Max will be available
in 2 colors - shimmer gold with 128GB and titanium silver with 64GB of memory, which would
be for flash sales since February 2nd on Flipkart.

    LeEco will have flash sales for Le Max and Le 1s exclusively on Flipkart, the largest
e-commerce platform in India, on February 2nd. And for anyone who buys Le Max and Le 1s on
February 2nd, the consumer with an Axis Bank card can get 10% cashback. An important note
is due to the limited stock of Le Max and Le 1s, 500 units and 80,000 units, consumers
have to register for flash sale from 1800Hr on January 20th .

    LeEco pays so much attention to Indian market that it plans to build a large-scale R&D
center in Bangalore within 2016, with more than 1,000 people, covering Super TV, Super
Phone, accessories, LeMall, and Clouds etc.

    LeEco is facing a huge but cluttering market in India. The way it does has already
arouse strong market interests, like disruptive market strategies and unique ecosystems,
and like Atul Jain, COO of LeEco India, said, "We are facing one of the most promising
markets in the world, and LeEco hopes to sustain its legendary story here."

Crown Media Family Networks Transforms Video Workflow With QuantumStorNext 5 Platform and Lattus Object Storage

Hallmark Channel's Parent Company Achieves Faster Ingest and Transcoding, Along With Extended Online Storage for Quicker Access to Archived Assets

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp. (NYSE: QTM) today announced that Crown Media Family Networks has transformed the way it manages high-resolution video content by adopting Quantum's workflow-optimized storage. One of the largest U.S. providers of family-oriented content and parent company of the Hallmark Channel, Crown Media turned to Quantum and Integrated Media Technologies (IMT), a digital media technology integrator, to help it keep up with rapidly growing content production and distribution demands. IMT architected and deployed a Quantum StorNext 5 shared storage appliance and Lattus(®) object storage system, providing a highly scalable content management solution that automatically preserves and protects the company's digital assets while making them readily available as needed.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141209/163323LOGO

[Suggested tweet: Crown Media, parent of @HallmarkChannel, combines @QuantumCorp Lattus and @StorNext for complete workflow upgrade http://qntm.co/1UUHqnn]

Content Growth Creates Storage Challenges
Under its previous storage infrastructure, Crown Media ingested files into online storage for editing and moved them to a tape archive when they were no longer active. Then, when the company needed content for repurposing or rebroadcast, it would pull the video files out of the tape archive and stage it back to online storage. As Crown Media took on more work, however, this workflow became unsustainable.

"The strain created by so much more new content meant that we were continually buying new online disk storage, managing larger tape archives that were hard to access and not protecting content as well as we should," said Roy Burns, director of digital asset management at Crown Media. "Knowing that IMT had helped so many other companies dramatically improve their media workflows, we engaged them to help us find a solution."

Extending Online Storage With Lattus
IMT quickly recognized the benefits Quantum could provide in Crown Media's existing environment based on StorNext's complete compatibility with the company's previous Xsan online storage network. In addition, StorNext(®) offered industry-leading performance and seamless integration with Lattus, which IMT knew would provide unique advantages from deployments it had made at other customer sites.

Lattus uses object storage technology to create extended online storage repositories that can hold up to hundreds of petabytes of content and, through geographic distribution, provide a self-healing environment that is both more scalable and more resilient than traditional RAID arrays. The Crown Media Lattus configuration spread content between the company's Los Angeles headquarters and a second site near Denver. For added resilience, the company has an additional controller at a third site in New York.

Archiving and Protecting Content While Keeping It Readily Accessible
The Quantum solution has enabled Crown Media not only to ingest and transcode content but also to copy it immediately to Lattus and replicate it from California to Colorado as soon as it is brought into the system.

"As a result, we get much higher levels of protection than we had before," explained Burns. "Best of all, the process is automatic, which reduces the load on our IT guys; it completely eliminates the overhead and delays of a separate backup process."

When content is no longer being actively used, StorNext moves it from online storage to Lattus object storage while continuing to provide editors access to all content through the StorNext file system and Levels Beyond Reach Engine. This provides Crown Media with an extended online storage environment that scales to petabytes of capacity and makes retrieving files a transparent and nearly instantaneous process that is fully integrated with media asset management.

"That's important for us because we pull data content out of the archive literally every day," continued Burns. "Plus, we see everything through Reach Engine, so we have a single point of management and control for all workflow assets."

Looking back at the decision to adopt the Quantum solution, Burns said he and his team originally thought it would need a couple of years to grow into it. Although that proved to be inaccurate, fortunately, the massive scalability of Lattus has easily accommodated Crown Media's needs.

"A year later, we're in the process of doubling the amount of content stored on Lattus, and we'd be dead without it -- we wouldn't be able to function," concluded Burns. "The Quantum solution has been invaluable in increasing the efficiency of our workflow, from ingest to edit to delivery and re-use."

"Customers like Crown Media are increasingly requesting storage options beyond RAID and LTO tape," said Jason Kranitz, senior vice president of sales at IMT. "The trick is the solution must integrate seamlessly into the existing workflow. With StorNext, Crown Media can not only easily deploy Lattus to take advantage of object storage today but also have the flexibility to add other technologies in the future, including Quantum's Q-Cloud(®) cloud storage."

Casio Launches New Workstation Keyboards At Winter NAMM 2016

Casio's Cutting-Edge MZ-Series Includes Color Touch Interface(TM) and Powerful Sound Features for Professional Musicians

ANAHEIM, Calif., Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Casio America, Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of two new flagship models in its lineup of professional digital keyboards - the MZ-X300 and MZ-X500. Perfect for the home, studio and live performances, these arranger workstation keyboards offer new sounds, innovative effects and new rhythm content created by developers from all over the world. The MZ-X300 and MZ-X500 will be on display in Casio's booth (#5900) at Winter NAMM 2016, January 21-24, 2016 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160120/324057

"We are excited to debut our new MZ-Series at Winter NAMM 2016," said Stephen Schmidt, Vice President of Casio's Electronic Musical Instrument Division. "The MZ-X300 and MZ-X500 are top-of-the-line keyboards with a diverse range of features suited for many different musical genres."

The MZ-Series keyboards come with built-in speakers driven by dual 20-watt amplifiers that deliver a big, powerful sound. The MZ-X300 has 900 preset tone patches and 280 rhythm patterns, while the MZ-X500 features 1,100 preset tone patches and 330 rhythm patterns. With these abundant sound and backing-track options, users can select musical instrument patches to fit a particular performance style. In addition, there are many different rhythm patterns ranging from standard beats used in rock, jazz and pop music to rhythms from various regions of the world.

The MZ-X300 and MZ-X500 are capable of 128-note polyphony and feature Digital Signal Processing (DSP) effects that have been programmed based on 20 types of algorithms. Also fitted with a four-band parametric equalizer for precisely adjusting tone, both keyboards offer everything a musician would hope for to perform their very best. Additionally, the keyboards' 5.2-inch (color touch interface) LCD display enables easier operation and more intuitive control for musicians. This display makes it easy to call up and modify any of the rhythms or sound patches.

Casio's MZ-X500 offers 16 touch-responsive multi-pads for broadening performance capabilities. The pads can be used to trigger preset patches and samples created by the user, as well as to play back musical phrases, allowing the user to enhance a performance with percussive hits and additional melodies. Auto accompaniment chord progressions can also be assigned to any of the 16 pads, enabling the user to play chord progressions just by striking a pad. This eliminates the need to play chords continuously with the left hand so the user can focus on playing melodies.  Similarly the MZ-X300 has 4 multi-pads which can be used for triggering phrases, samples, chords and more.

The MZ-X300 comes in an all-black design and the MZ-X500 features a blue design with black accents. Both new keyboards will be available in March 2016 at select music dealers nationwide for a MSRP of $1099 and $1499 respectively.

CynoSure Brings the Speed of Light to Non-Invasive Body Contouring...Introducing SculpSure®

Innovative light-based technology reduces stubborn fat and delivers slimmer appearance in a 25 minute procedure, without surgery or downtime.

WESTFORD, Mass., Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- If your clothes could talk, what would they say? Is that little black dress a little too little or are last year's go-to pants now relegated to the back of the closet? Everyone has at least one piece of clothing in their closet they look at longingly, hoping to wear someday. However even with a healthy diet and regular exercise, fat in certain areas, such as the abdomen and love handles, can be particularly difficult to eliminate. In fact, 89% of Americans report feeling bothered by excess weight on their bodies.(1) But now there's SculpSure, a breakthrough technology that reduces stubborn fat in problem areas for a more slender, sculpted figure, in just 25 minutes.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160120/324435

Developed by Cynosure, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYNO), the leader in laser and light-based aesthetic treatments, SculpSure is a safe and effective non-invasive treatment which eliminates up to 24% of treated fat(2) in a 25-minute procedure with no downtime, so patients can return to their normal activities immediately. And this innovation couldn't come at a better time, since nonsurgical fat reduction procedures are one of the fastest growing categories in the aesthetics market, with a 42% increase in procedures performed from 2013 to 2014.(3)

"Based on the expertise gained through the development of products such as SmartLipo(TM) and Cellulaze(TM), we're thrilled to introduce SculpSure, an entirely new approach to non-invasive body contouring for men and women," says Cynosure Chairman and CEO, Michael Davin. "Most people have areas of stubborn fat that seem impossible to get rid of and SculpSure can help these patients achieve the noticeable results they're looking for with a treatment that fits into their busy lifestyles."

SculpSure's patented, breakthrough technology utilizes a selective wavelength laser that precisely targets fat cells under the skin. The laser raises the temperature of body fat to disrupt and destroy those subcutaneous fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated over time and do not return. The SculpSure device is also designed for maximum versatility, offering physicians the ability to customize treatment to each patient's desired results.

FDA cleared and clinically tested on over 100 patients, SculpSure works on all skin types and is intended for patients who are struggling with stubborn fat in common trouble spots. Multi-site testing yielded over 90% patient satisfaction, with results seen as quickly as 6 weeks and optimal results usually seen in 12 weeks.

"To be able to achieve this level of body sculpting without surgery or recovery time is a real game changer for the category," says Dr. Lawrence Bass, board certified plastic surgeon and a lead investigator in SculpSure clinical trials. "SculpSure is also comfortable and well-tolerated, with most patients feeling nothing more than a deep warming sensation."

About SculpSure
SculpSure non-invasive body contouring uses patented light-based technology to permanently eliminate fat cells in problem areas without surgery or downtime.  SculpSure is clinically proven and FDA cleared for the reduction of fat in the flanks and abdomen.  For more information, visit http://www.SculpSure.com.

Open Your Garage Door From The Palm Of Your Hand With Overhead Door's New OHD Anywhere(TM)

Remote Opener Offers Incredible Convenience and Security

LEWISVILLE, Texas, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine you're at work and your babysitter accidentally locks herself and your children out of the house.  Or a stranger somehow opens the garage door of your summer home. To help you with these and many other potential situations, Overhead Door, the inventor of the upward lifting garage door, has launched its new smart device enabled garage door controller, OHD Anywhere((TM)). OHD Anywhere((TM)) allows homeowners to remotely monitor, as well as change, the open/close position of a garage door from their compatible smart device, providing convenience and peace of mind to those who need to know the status of their garage door while away from home. In addition, OHD Anywhere((TM)) can be especially convenient for families who wish to monitor an elderly parent's house or a vacation home.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160120/324335

"The OHD Anywhere((TM)) controller makes homeowners the master of their garage's security, which for many people is the main entry to their house," said Ali Isham, marketing director at Overhead Door. "The ability to open the garage door for a loved one or neighbor, or instantly know if there is unexpected operation of the garage door is now literally at their fingertips."

The OHD Anywhere((TM)) system uses a Wi-Fi(®) enabled door control module, incorporating the low-power SimpleLink((TM)) Wi-Fi CC3200 wireless MCU from Texas Instruments (TI)*, to safely allow a homeowner to remotely operate the garage door from virtually anywhere. If the garage door is activated from the owner's smart device, there will be an audible and visual notification, giving those around the garage door ample warning that it is about to move. The system is UL 325 compliant and can be used in conjunction with, or in place of, the opener's standard wall console.

Along with the Wi-Fi(®) control module, OHD Anywhere((TM) )comes with a door position sensor that attaches to the garage door itself. The sensor relays any change in its position to the control module, allowing the homeowner to know whether the door is open or closed via a signal to their smart device. Unlike remote access systems that are built into the powerhead, OHD Anywhere((TM)) offers increased security by alerting a homeowner even if the garage door is opened or closed manually after someone has disengaged the door from the opener. One sensor comes standard with the unit; additional sensors can be purchased to monitor up to three doors.

For an up-to-date list of compatible openers and smart devices in addition to a detailed list of helpful FAQs, homeowners and builders can check http://www.overheaddoor.com for the Home Automation Compatibility List.

Alpha, Turing Robot, and Blue Frog Robotics to Build China's First "Smart Home Ecosystem"

GUANGDONG, China, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Alpha (http://www.gdalpha.com) yesterday announced the launch of its S Plan - a $304 million initiative aimed at developing a range of smart devices from smart robots to smart watches. As part of the initiative, Alpha revealed its strategic partnership with leading robot developers and manufacturers, Blue Frog Robotics and Turing Robot, to build China's first "Smart Home Ecosystem."

The S Plan entails the establishment of Alpha Smart Technologies, which will seek to extend Alpha's core competitive edge in creating content for children, to creating smart devices for children, paving the way for Alpha's full entry into the smart home market in the future.

"We do not want to build impersonal hardware and platforms," said Lin Bin, Chief Strategy Officer, Alpha Smart Technologies.  "We want them to be a melting pot of family emotions that is welcomed by children and trusted by the parents. The partnership we struck with Turing and Blue Frog will allow us to take full advantage of smart technologies in order to build a network of friends and a whole ecosystem around children."

As a result of the partnership, Alpha formally introduced its Jett Companion Robot and JIAJIA Social Robot, which are designed for children and their parents.

Jett, a companion robot for preschoolers based on the character from the popular animated series Super Wings, is powered by the Turing operating system developed by Turing Robot. Equipped with voice recognition, semantic analysis, emotion recognition, visual identification, and self-learning capabilities, the smart robot can hear, see, analyze, and decide, empowering it to accompany children in their growth.

Just as important as the robot's technical functions, is Jett's familiarity as a household character, being the flying robot in Alpha's animation Super Wings, the first season of which has been aired in 28 countries and regions, earning top viewership ratings among similar animations in the U.S., China, and South Korea.

"The popularity of Jett's character will allow our products to connect emotionally with consumers," said Liao Bin, Chief Product Officer, Alpha Smart Technologies. "Being a content creator we understand the latest needs amongst children. The more popular a product is, the easier it will be to build rich interactions and multi-dimensional emotional links around it, making it more memorable."

JIAJIA smart devices range from robots to smart watches. Products under this brand are designed to make it easier for children to connect with the people they love using a mobile app on the parents' smartphone that serves as the nexus that links JIAJIA devices together.

"Our future Smart Home Ecosystem will be built around smart robots and devices, covering education, animations, maternal-infant online stores, social networking, gaming, and other cornerstone industries, thereby transforming every home into an amusement park," said Chen Jingqing, CEO, Alpha Smart Technologies.

"The future looks very bright," said Yu Zhichen, CEO, Turing Robot. "Robots designed for children are not limited to being toys and storytellers, but they are in fact a large computing platform. In that capacity, they are poised to become a super gateway for a family's entertainment, education, and living needs, not to mention applications such as Internet of Things."

Also at the January 20, 2016 press conference, Alpha announced a strategic partnership with Blue Frog Robotics, the French company responsible for creating BUDDY, which is billed as the "world's first robotic steward." By leveraging its expertise in creating, operating, and marketing IPs and virtual avatars, Alpha will provide a one-stop localization service covering the promotion, marketing, sales, and operations of BUDDY in Greater China. Meanwhile, BUDDY will help connect international audiences with Alpha's rich repertoire of animation shows and educational programs, upgrading their home entertainment experience with the "IP + Smart" paradigm.

About Alpha Smart Technologies:

As a part of Guangdong Alpha Animation and Culture Company Ltd, one of the world's largest developers of animation and toys, Alpha Smart Technologies has the most extensive IP matrix and content lineup for China's K-12 group, as well as solid industry platforms and the sharpest insights about children as consumers. With a projection of having more than one million smartwatches and robots by 2016, Alpha will be the cornerstone for the largest gateway to the smart device market for children. The conversion of technology into application, so that children may physically and meaningfully interact with characters who had previously existed only in the virtual world, and experience the joy that technology brings, is Alpha's motivation and starting point for building its smart ecosystem.

Owlet Baby Care Announces Android Version of Smart Baby Monitor

Owlet Monitor to release Android compatibility June 6

PROVO, Utah, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Owlet Baby Care announces today the Android-compatible version of its smart baby monitor will be released June 6. The Owlet Monitor, which uses hospital technology designed to alert parents if their baby stops breathing, also allows parents to view live vitals via a simple app on their smartphone, which has only been available on iOS since the product's launch last year.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160120/324438

"The release of Android compatibility will enable even more parents to use the Owlet Monitor, empowering them with hospital technology made appropriate for the home," said Zack Bomsta, CTO and co-founder of Owlet. "The feedback and stories we have already heard from parents using the Owlet Monitor with its current iOS companion app has been incredible. More than a dozen families have shared stories of being alerted by the monitor when their babies stopped breathing, allowing them to intervene."

Owlet will run a private beta test period on the Android version prior to the public release. More information can be found at OwletCare.com/Android.

Owlet has miniaturized hospital technology--pulse oximetry--into a baby sock, the Owlet Smart Sock, that connects via bluetooth low energy to a Base Station, designed to alert you if your baby stops breathing. The Base Station connects via Wi-Fi, and sends vitals data to your smartphone so parents can monitor from down the hall, across town or around the world.

The Owlet Monitor currently sells for $249.99 on OwletCare.com.

About Owlet Baby Care

Owlet Baby Care, Inc. was founded in 2013 by a team of passionate parents who wanted to bring themselves--and other parents around the globe--peace of mind and assurance by developing a monitor that tracks a baby's breathing and heart rate. Using pulse oximetry, the same technology used in hospitals, the Owlet Smart Sock is designed to send alerts to the Base Station and via Wi-Fi to a smartphone, if a baby were to stop breathing while sleeping. See the device in action by watching this video or visiting OwletCare.com.

Lynn's iPad-powered learning goes Pro

University deploys iPad Pro to faculty and undergraduates

BOCA RATON, Fla., Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Lynn University, one of America's top 25 most innovative schools according to U.S. News & World Report, today announced it will deploy the all-new iPad Pro, Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard to all undergraduate day students and faculty. Lynn will distribute approximately 1,800 new devices this semester.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160120/324166

"At Lynn, we continue to embrace new ideas and technology that allow us to engage our students, enhance learning and empower faculty," says Lynn President Kevin M. Ross. "Our introduction of iPad-powered learning in 2013 has supported rises in retention and prospective student inquiries, as well as improved student outcomes."

iPad Pro offers groundbreaking performance that rivals most portable PCs and multitasking that allows users to do more at the same time. The new, full-size Smart Keyboard will make it easier for students to draft essays, complete tests and build complex spreadsheets from anywhere. Apple Pencil expands the power of Multi-Touch on iPad and opens new possibilities for creative learners by providing students with a bigger, more dynamic canvas to capture ideas as notes, sketches or diagrams.

"iPad Pro, its accessories and the next generation of education-focused apps will make learning even more relevant to the world students live in," adds Lynn Chief Information Officer Chris Boniforti. "This immersive, versatile technology also provides access to top-notch content and can replace bulky desktop devices to save space and allow Lynn to convert computer labs into interactive, mobile workspaces--places that inspire creativity and foster collaboration."

iPad Pro also supports Lynn's ongoing efforts to create a more affordable education, eliminating personal computer costs and saving students money through apps and e-books that are more cost-effective, timely and relevant than  traditional textbooks and support materials. iPad Pro provides even greater flexibility, too. Whether studying aviation, design or music, students now can use one device for writing papers, taking notes with Apple Pencil, creating videos that demonstrate learning, completing in-depth projects outside the classroom and much more.

"iPad Pro enhances the entire music-making experience," shares Lynn Conservatory of Music student and violinist Kristen Seto as she uses iPad Pro and Apple Pencil for the first time to compose her own notes. "It's mobile so it's there when creativity strikes--plus it's just like writing music on paper!"

Recognized as an Apple Distinguished School for innovation, leadership and educational excellence, Lynn first implemented Apple technology in 2013 to deliver its nationally praised core curriculum. iPad mini(TM) replaced traditional books, saving students up to 90 percent on core curriculum textbook costs, and provided greater accessibility with unified student-to-teacher communication, content sharing and learning applications.

Lynn University is an independent college based in Boca Raton, Florida. U.S. News & World Report recognizes the university as one of the nation's most innovative colleges and consistently ranks it among the top five most international schools, given its approximately 3,000 students from almost 100 countries.

BICS Enables Next Generation Data Roaming With Over 325 Mobile Operators Across the Globe

BRUSSELS, Belgium, January 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

                  LTE roaming is now available in 126 countries worldwide 

    BICS, a global leader in wholesale carrier services, today announced a 70% increase in
the number of countries adopting LTE roaming in the last year, with availability now in
126 countries worldwide. Through the BICS IPX (IP exchange) platform, its operator
customers can now offer their subscribers high quality data roaming with over 325
operators around the world.

    During 2015, LTE roaming has been launched in countries such as the USA, Italy,
Morocco, Iceland and the Seychelles. Carriers launching these next generation services
enable their customers, and inbound visitors roaming onto their networks, access to the
highest quality data services through either direct connections or peering agreements.

    The growth of LTE roaming has been astounding with double-digit growth seen each month
during 2015. The holiday seasons in particular saw a rapid month-on-month rise in data
roaming traffic as operators transitioned to next generation services and customers
increased their data usage abroad.

    Enabling LTE roaming requires a whole new set of commercial agreements and technical
interconnections to support this all-new IP signalling infrastructure, built on IPX, to
replace the SS7 signalling network.

    BICS' market leading IPX platform, including LTE signalling, allows service providers
to exchange IP traffic bilaterally with any IPX destination. Through one single
interconnection with end-to-end quality management, BICS' IPX platform is able to minimise
operators' efforts and costs. This also removes the need to engage in separate agreements
with multiple operators around the world and allows for the swift deployment of LTE
roaming services.

    BICS' IPX network also supports VoLTE interworking, which was successfully
demonstrated during 2015 when BICS successfully tested the world's first end-to-end
international VoLTE call taking place between carriers in Asia and Europe.

    "2015 was a pivotal year for data roaming with operators around the world continuing
to adopt and promote 4G," said Mikael Schachne, VP Mobile Data Business, BICS. "End users
have enthusiastically embraced data roaming services in the last twelve months, driven by
price reductions and the availability of higher-bandwidth services, through LTE."

    He added: "In the upcoming year, BICS anticipates international LTE usage will
continue to expand as a greater number of operators roll-out 4G services across the world,
with a heavy focus on growth in the African and Middle East markets."

    About BICS 

    BICS delivers best-in-class international wholesale solutions to any communication
service provider worldwide. Through its Mosaic portfolio, a comprehensive, flexible and
innovative suite of solutions designed to be used individually, or collectively, BICS
meets the existing and future requirements of the global telecoms industry.

    BICS is headquartered in Brussels with regional offices in Bern, Dubai, Madrid, New
York and Singapore. We also have a satellite office in Beijing and local representation in
Accra, Cape Town, Miami, Montevideo, Nairobi and Toronto. Our team continuously strives to
provide our customers with the highest levels of quality, reliability and interoperability
enabling them to maximise their end-user value.

    With our successful consolidation strategy, and a continuing focus on technological
advancement and innovation, we have achieved a world-leading position in the international
Voice and Mobile Data markets.

HDA125 High-speed Digital Analyzer

The HDA125 samples 18 input signals at 80 ps intervals (12.5 GS/s) for accurate characterization of the fastest signals. However, sample rate is only half the story -- high-speed embedded systems testing often poses challenging signal amplitude conditions. The High-speed Digital Analyzer meets these challenges with a 3-GHz digital leadset, ultra-low probe loading, and industry-leading sensitivity (150 mV minimum signal swing). The system ensures the most precise digital signal interpretation with a unique hysteresis adjustment capability, and three times better threshold accuracy than competing mixed-signal instruments.

QuickLink Probing System

The QuickLink probe tip system is designed from the ground up to be compatible with both the HDA125 High-speed Digital Analyzer and with Teledyne LeCroy's WaveLink series of differential analog probes. This cross-connection capability allows a device under test (DUT) to be equipped with QuickLink Solder-In (QL-SI) tips at all desired test points, enabling swapping of connections between digital and analog acquisition systems as needed.

Unlike other "consumable" probe tip solutions that rely on tiny, delicate tips located very close to the DUT, the QL-SI tip has an integral 9-inch lead. When connected to a WaveLink analog probe using the new Dxx30-QL adapter, QuickLink tips provide 6 GHz of bandwidth and a flat, well-controlled frequency response. Used for digital acquisitions with the HDA125, they support 3 GHz bandwidth with industry-leading sensitivity. In both cases, high input impedance (110 k , 0.12pF differential) ensures minimal loading of the DUT.

Enhanced DDR Validation and Debug Capability

Teledyne LeCroy already offers the industry's only dedicated DDR Debug Toolkit, designed to simplify challenging memory interface validation. Adding the HDA125 allows the DDR command bus to be directly acquired and integrated into the analysis, enabling advanced command triggering and sophisticated, searchable bus state viewing. This is complemented by the intrinsic flexibility and performance of the QuickLink probing system, which allows easy transitions between digital and analog acquisitions of the signals under test.

Pricing and Availability

The HDA125 is available in two models. The HDA125-18-LBUS is supplied with a full 18-channel leadset (including 18 QL-SI probe tips), and is priced at $20,900. For applications requiring fewer channels, the HDA125-09-LBUS is supplied with a 9-channel leadset (including 9 QL-SI probe tips), and is priced at $17,900. The HDA125 will initially be compatible with WaveMaster, SDA, and DDA 8Zi series oscilloscopes; compatibility with other instruments will follow.

The Dxx30-QL connects QL-SI probe tips to Dxx30 8-13 GHz WaveLink differential probe series and is priced at $850. A QuickLink "starter pack," the Dxx30-QL-3SI, is priced at $1390 and consists of one Dxx30-QL adapter and three QL-SI tips. Support for the QL-SI tip on 4-6 GHz WaveLink differential probes will be added in the spring of 2016.

Delivery time on the above products is approximately 8-10 weeks ARO.

Delvv Reinvents the Android Lock Screen with Defumblr, Giving Users One-Swipe Access to the Most Important Actions on their Phone

LOS ALTOS, Calif., Jan. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobile app developer Delvv® today announced the launch of Defumblr, a smart lock screen that unifies communications and gives users one-swipe access to their most important information and apps. Powered by machine learning, Defumblr(TM) identifies what matters most and when, and it presents that information in a bite-size, actionable format. Defumblr is available on Android smartphones and can be downloaded for free at Google Play.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160119/323770

In August 2015, Delvv's Mobile Overload Survey found that many Americans feel overwhelmed and frustrated by continuous feeds of irrelevant information pushed at them by their smartphones.  The survey revealed that push notifications are often poorly targeted or irrelevant, leading 49 percent of respondents to manually customize notification settings for their apps. Furthermore, 90 percent felt the need to manually organize information on their smartphones, or use some tool to help them with this task, to make it easier to get to the right app or resource.

"Our research showed that smartphones were becoming a double-edged sword," said Raefer Gabriel, CEO of Delvv. "It seemed as if devices were running people when people should be running their devices. So, we built Defumblr to help users get the most out of smartphones without the burden of digital housekeeping. Fundamentally, Defumblr is a new kind of smartphone interface that helps people manage digital information efficiently. It's about giving the user control."

Defumblr organizes information into widgets that appear as colored circles on the Android lock screen. Like a "Swiss Army Knife" for the smartphone, Defumblr contains a vast array of helpful widgets that improve the user experience. Each widget helps users quickly do what they need to do without unlocking the phone. Defumblr currently offers 17 customizable widgets including:

    --  Messaging: Users can view and reply to calls, emails and text messages
        from lock screen. Defumblr highlights messages that come from real
        people and important sources.
    --  Quick Apps: One-swipe access to the most frequently used or contextually
        appropriate apps.
    --  Calendar: Syncs with your Android Calendar to track upcoming events.
    --  To-Dos: Keep critical To-Do items right on your lock screen.
    --  News: A curated selection of breaking news stories.
    --  Nearby: Location-based recommendations for customizable categories
        (shopping, coffee, gas, etc.)
    --  Activity Tracker: Track your activity on your smartphone, see number of
        messages and notifications and where they come from, how many clicks you
        save, and more.
The key to Defumblr is its machine learning engine that prioritizes information based on content, context, usage patterns and other factors that are individual to each user. For instance, if a person loads Pandora each morning at 8 a.m. for the commute to work, Defumblr learns to place Pandora in the Quick Apps widget during that time of day. Likewise, as a calendar appointment nears, Defumblr enlarges the Calendar widget to make sure the user notices. However, Defumblr never blocks or removes anything without permission - it only prevents irrelevant information from distracting users.

Defumblr differs in several ways from conventional home screen and launcher products. First, it conveniently lives in the lock screen, so it's always that first point of contact between users and their phones. Second, information in Defumblr is designed to be digested at a glance; there are no feeds or lists to scroll through. Third, Defumblr emphasizes quick actions and productivity. For example, Defumblr can generate calendar events and to-do items based on the content of messages. So if a friend named Sam texts, "Hey, how about dinner at 6 p.m.?", the user can tap once to add "Dinner with Sam at 6 p.m." to the calendar.

"Defumblr makes smart associations across your digital life so that we can anticipate what you need before you do," said Felice Miller Gabriel, founder and President of Delvv. "You need important information to reach you, but you don't need to drown in a flood of irrelevant information. Defumblr strikes a healthy balance based on your habits. It's about improving the quality of your digital life."
