Introducing LandAirSea System's New On-Board Diagnostic Ready Real-Time GPS Tracking System: The SilverCloud Sync

CHICAGO, April 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LandAirSea Systems, Inc., a leading manufacturer and developer of GPS tracking systems since 1994, is pleased to introduce its newest On-Board Diagnostic ready real-time GPS tracking system: The SilverCloud Sync.

The SilverCloud Sync possesses all of the user friendly and intuitive software and tracking capabilities of the SilverCloud Real-Time GPS Tracking System. However, what makes it different, is that it has the added ability to obtain and transmit a vehicle's diagnostic information from its On-Board Diagnostics port (OBD-II).

How to Use the SilverCloud Sync

Just like the original SilverCloud, the SilverCloud Sync is extremely easy to use. Simply plug the device into the vehicle's OBD-II port, which is usually located underneath the driver's side dash. The OBD-II specification has been a standard of all vehicles sold in the United States since 1996. The port was designed to help technicians diagnose and troubleshoot a vehicle's malfunctions.

The SilverCloud Sync is powered through the OBD port - no batteries or hardwiring necessary. This allows for uninterrupted GPS tracking whenever the SilverCloud Sync is connected to the vehicle's diagnostic port. The device also comes equipped with a motion sensor, which alerts users if their car is moving when the engine is turned off (for example: when a car is being towed).

And with the OBD support offered by the SilverCloud Sync, users will be able to not only be able to track their vehicles in real-time, they will be able to gather important diagnostic information such as:

    --  Vehicle's VIN number
    --  Current speed and whether it's using excessive RPM's
    --  Low battery and fuel warnings
    --  Harsh braking and idling warnings
    --  Rapid acceleration and high speed warnings
    --  And odometer readings?
The data collected from the vehicle's diagnostic system provides car owners, fleet managers, business owners and even law enforcement divisions, valuable up-to-date information on the precise location and condition of one of their most important investments.

Tracking and Software Features Offered by the SilverCloud Sync

Along with the wealth of diagnostic data offered by the LandAirSea's SilverCloud Sync on-board diagnostic ready real-time GPS tracking system comes with a wide array of useful tracking and software features.

The SilverCloud Sync's intuitive and user-friendly web-browser based mapping software gives users the ability to set geo-fences, produce event and time-based alarms and generate detailed driving reports, indicating speed, distance, number of stops and precise location information. The SilverCloud Sync offers unlimited real-time tracking and data. The device is able to transmit the GPS location of a vehicle or asset with update interval speeds as low as 5 seconds.

With the innovative patent-pending ShareSpot feature, users of the SilverCloud Sync will also be able to share the precise GPS location of their vehicles online in real-time through their personal or corporate website, blog or even their Facebook page.

Announcing Permanent Price Cut on LandAirSea's SilverCloud Real-Time GPS Tracking System

The SilverCloud Sync is available on LandAirSea's website for special introductory price of $229.00.

LandAirSea Systems has also announced that it will be cutting the price on its flagship real-time GPS tracking system, the SilverCloud, from $469.00 down to $369.00.

The SilverCloud Sync On-Board Diagnostic ready Real-Time GPS Tracking System from LandAirSea have been designed with precision precision, simplicity and durability. For more information email LandAirSea Systems at sales@landairsea.com.

Technomedia Solutions Unveils Breakthrough in 3D Audio

Media and Technology Firm to Market Proprietary Technology

ORLANDO, Fla., April 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Technomedia Solutions announced today it has successfully completed development of a revolutionary audio technology that delivers a true "3D" audio experience through a range of environments from headphones to large venues.  The technology, known as "4D:360" evolved over years as Technomedia's founders delivered Academy Award winning sound for film and media for various attractions and theme park rides around the world.  It delivers sound dimensions that match the visual images experienced in 3D films, attractions, and building projection mapping.  Components of the new technology were introduced over time on Terminator 2:3D, Mazda Experience, Hidden Dragon for Richard Crane, Daytona Experience, a "wizard worthy" 3D ride experience, and other groundbreaking attractions at world renowned theme parks in Florida and around the globe. 

Over the past year, the Technomedia team finalized its concept for the technology and finalized its patent.  The Company intends to offer the technology exclusively for a period of three years and license it for outside use and development in early 2015.  True 3D audio effects have proved elusive for a number of developers because they require an enhancement beyond traditional stereo projection of audio to create the illusion of sound from all directions, including above and below, and at different distances.  Technomedia's breakthrough is differentiated because it does not require the placement of multiple speakers in a matrix or around the listener and can deliver the 3D audio experience even through headphones.

Morgan Scopetto, Technomedia's Vice President of Business Development, remarked, "The persistence and dedication applied to this project over the years is a testament to the passion and devotion we share for delivering unparalleled products and performance for our customers.  What is possible out of a pair of speakers on a blockbuster ride as we did for Universal is truly revolutionary."

Gladiator® GarageWorks Puts Home Organization Within Reach for National Garage Organization Month(TM)

Month-long Campaign Includes New Storage Bench Giveaway and Online Promotion

BENTON HARBOR, Mich., April 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Gladiator® GarageWorks, the leader in garage organization, is inspiring spontaneous bouts of spring cleaning by showing off its chic and versatile new Storage Bench in time for the seventh annual National Garage Organization Month(TM). As part of the month-long campaign, Gladiator brand is giving fans a chance to win a free Storage Bench and offering deep discounts and free shipping on selected products for a limited time.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090119/CLM013LOGO )

When asked in a 2011 Gladiator GarageWorks consumer survey* about which areas of the home collect the most clutter, 84 percent of respondents indicated an area other than the garage. Enter Gladiator brand's new Storage Bench, which provides storage and functionality in one. It serves as the perfect place to sit and take your shoes off in the mudroom or at the foot of the bed, while storing shoes and other household items. And, with its beautiful bamboo top, it's equally suited as a living room entertainment stand for your TV, while storing DVDs, remote controls and extra cables.

"Homeowners want flexibility in their product solutions," said Karl Champley, master builder and Gladiator® GarageWorks spokesperson. "Gladiator GarageWorks has specifically designed the Storage Bench to help consumers get organized anywhere in the home without sacrificing durability or design."

In celebration of National Garage Organization Month, Gladiator GarageWorks is hosting a month-long "Bench the Clutter" sweepstakes. From April 2 through April 30, 2012, fans can enter to win the new Storage Bench, valued at $279 (MSRP), via Facebook.com/GladiatorGW.

If you need any more inspiration to begin your own spontaneous bout of spring cleaning this National Garage Organization Month, Gladiator GarageWorks is offering the following tips:

    --  Rethink your space. Can your home office be moved to the garage? Is your
        road bike beautiful enough to hang on your living room wall? Try new
        arrangements and explore different possibilities. You may discover you
        have more space than you originally thought.
    --  Use your own organizational approach. We're not all TV celebrity
        designers or professional organizers. If your approach doesn't involve a
        24-hour organizational makeover marathon, don't lose hope. The important
        thing is to keep at it.
    --  Call in the troops. And by troops we mean friends and family. You don't
        have to tackle that spring cleaning alone. In fact, we'd be willing to
        bet you can find a handful of helpers happy to lend a hand for some
        pizza and cool beverages.

Trapollo LLC Teams with Humana Cares for Landmark Telehealth Deployment to 1600 Humana Subscribers

Largest Program to Successfully Utilize Fully Interactive Technology to Monitor Subscribers and Link them to Healthcare Professionals

STERLING, Va., April 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthcare Technology Services Provider, Trapollo LLC, announced today that in support of Humana Cares, a division of Humana Inc., the Company has completed the final in-home installation for one of the largest Telehealth "pilot" projects in the United States. Trapollo successfully installed and field tested over 1600 interactive remote monitoring devices nationwide to monitor Humana Medicare members living with congestive heart failure (CHF). The in-home devices enable a registered nurse to track a member's key vital signs daily. Launched in January, 2011, as one of the Telehealth industries' largest and most comprehensive programs, Humana Cares utilized Trapollo's complete managed service offering to substantially increase the members' awareness of their state of health as well as to decrease the likelihood of hospitalization for this group of at-risk patients. 

Statistics tell the tale. It is estimated that there are currently over 90 million Americans living with some form of chronic illness and these individuals account for nearly 80% of annual health care costs in the United States. Additionally, the population is aging. The number of people 65 and over is expected to swell to 70 million in the coming years, dramatically adding to those already living with chronic illnesses. 

"It is great working with Humana Cares and we applaud them for employing advanced Telehealth technologies to help their members with CHF live better, healthier, and more productive lives," said Todd Leto, founder and CEO of Trapollo. "Our already stressed health system needs to find new and innovative ways to provide people with chronic illnesses high quality and cost effective health care alternatives. A video-enabled, in-home remote health monitoring device is being used in the Humana Cares program and it is proving to be an innovative solution with the potential to significantly improve the quality of life for people living with chronic illnesses."

Trapollo provided Humana Cares with a customized turnkey solution that combined equipment and all necessary services to support this program. Trapollo integrated, installed, and field tested the Intel/GE Care Innovations "Health Guide." Each video-enabled system was paired with A & D Medical blood pressure monitor and weight scale peripherals allowing for interactive monitoring of the Humana Cares CHF members' health on a daily basis. 

Further, as part of Trapollo's Managed Service Solution, the Company provided data integration, project management, customer and technical support, asset management, clinician training, program financing, and more, thus allowing Humana to focus on patient care while Trapollo managed all other aspects of the program.

Kate Marcus, program manager for Humana Cares overseeing the national remote monitoring program, stated, "Partnering with Trapollo has allowed our nurses to focus on the important clinical issues while Trapollo managed the logistics of installing the equipment in our members' homes as well as training them and providing technical support to all of us.  We are further delighted that our members have responded so positively when rating their install, and training experiences."

"Many see interactive Telehealth systems as the most promising way to get health care costs under control for the future," said Mr. Leto. "The opportunity to work with Humana Cares on this project has been a learning experience for both of us. Based on this pilot, we have been able to fine tune our remote health monitoring managed services offering and are talking to other large health care providers who face the same challenges as Humana.

"The market is huge. To manage these staggering numbers, technology will have to play a major role. But, the services, knowledge and experience Trapollo provides will be what truly enables these Telehealth technologies to make a game changing difference."

About Trapollo LLC:

Trapollo LLC is the leadingservice provider of remote health monitoring managed services for chronic disease management, independent living, and employer health and wellness programs.  With offices in Northern Virginia, Trapollo is focused on the explosive field of Telehealth. Trapollo currently supports thousands of video-enabled in-home monitoring devices nationwide for large insurance providers, hospitals and health systems, and government agencies.  Additionally, Trapollo is focused on marketing its services to senior and assisted living communities, and self-insured employers.

Starting today, people who are in a relationship can build a joint profile on the Zoosk platform, giving them a place to store and share memories of romantic moments and relationship milestones like anniversaries, vacations, special events and more. These members will be led to a new interface allowing them to create a Couple Profile without the dating functionality that is available to single members. Couple Profiles include a stream of romantic moments, photos, and an about section.

"Until now, there hasn't been a romantic social network that also offered features tailored toward people in relationships," said Laurie Davis, founder of eFlirt Expert. "When you are in a happy, exciting relationship, you want to capture all of the special memories you experience with your significant other. Zoosk's new Couple Profiles provide  a fresh way for couples to have a joint profile focused on their romantic lives. This innovative approach will be a model for the industry on how to retain users after they pair off into couples."

With Zoosk's new Romantic Moments feature, couples can post photos on their joint profile, creating a keepsake of their romantic journey to share with each other and their friends. Couple Profiles are open to current and new members. The Couple Profiles can be created and accessed from Zoosk.com and via the Zoosk app for iPhone.

"Our mission at Zoosk has been to help people create and share their romantic journey," said Shayan Zadeh, co-founder and co-CEO, Zoosk. "We started by helping singles to find a partner to begin their romantic journey. The next logical step toward our mission is to provide couples with tools for creating and sharing their journey. Our Couple Profiles is the foundation we will build these tools around."

The new Romantic Moments feature is the first of a series of upcoming features Zoosk plans to introduce for Couple Profiles to engage members with the site throughout their romantic journeys. Zooskers in a relationship will soon be able to enjoy additional offerings including comments, sharing, an Android app and anniversary reminders.

CrowdCheck Applauds Crowdfunding Provisions of JOBS Act

Warns of Potential Fraud in Emerging Marketplace

WASHINGTON, April 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Sara Hanks, securities attorney and cofounder of CrowdCheck, applauded the JOBS Act for expanding crowdfunding investments to for-profit businesses, but cautioned that entrepreneurs and investors must be vigilant against possible fraud in the marketplace.

President Obama is expected to sign the legislation into law soon. Hanks, the former general counsel for the Congressional Oversight Committee for TARP that monitored the federal banking bailout, said the new law will strike a good balance between allowing the Internet to harness the potential of US entrepreneurs and small investors while protecting the nascent market from fraud.

"The new law will unleash the power of the Internet to bring investors and entrepreneurs together without the established financial institutions calling all the shots," said Hanks. "But everybody needs to be vigilant. Whenever money is involved, you can expect to see fraud."

The Jobs Act includes language requiring the Securities and Exchange Commission to regulate the crowdfunding marketplace. If properly regulated and implemented, crowdfunding will democratize access to capital and revolutionize investment for startup businesses, Hanks said.

Hanks praised the leadership of Senators Michael Bennet (D-Co.), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), and Scott Brown (R-MA) for considering the safety and security of the new market.

But Hanks said that it will still be up to investors and entrepreneurs to protect themselves from deals that are too good to be true and entrepreneurs who over-promise.

"Crowdfunding is going to usher in a totally new, collaborative and democratic form of capitalism. Small businesses and start ups are looking for capital, and crowdfunding is going to change the dynamic of investing and lending. Big financial players and multi-million dollar investors won't be the only entities in the game anymore," said Hanks.

As a former securities attorney in government and private practice, Hanks has an extensive 30-year career helping companies raise funds and using forensic accounting to protect investors from fraudulent businesses.

CrowdCheck is a company founded by Sara Hanks and business lawyers with legal and start-up backgrounds to help entrepreneurs access capital and protect investors.  CrowdCheck helps companies navigate disclosures and filings, and performs due diligence checks on startups to protect investors and the startups themselves. The company recently launched CrowdCheck.biz, a site for entrepreneurs and investors looking for transparent crowdfunding investments.

New TCO Certified Criteria for IT Products Offer Computer Industry a Third Party Verification of Socially Responsible Production Conditions

STOCKHOLM, April 2, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    TCO Certified, the international third party sustainability certification for IT
products, now requires independent verification of ethical working conditions among
electronics manufacturers applying for product certification. In light of recent reports
of deficient working conditions at electronics manufacturing plants, the launch of new
tightened social responsibility requirements offers the industry an effective and credible
way to improve and verify their progress towards more ethical production practices.

    Niclas Rydell, Manager for Certification and Development at TCO Development, believes
now could be a turning point for the industry as a whole: "From TCO Development's
perspective, we know that professional IT buyers are placing greater demand on their
vendors to ensure that products they buy are made in an ethically responsible way. The
recent reports of inadequate working conditions, salaries and worker health & safety at
Apple supplier Foxconn in China, are no doubt concerning. However we believe the situation
is indicative of an industry-wide problem- one where there is a greater need for
independent systems that can verify a company's actions and progress towards key labor
conventions established by the ILO. This is what TCO Certified is designed to do. We also
welcome the important steps now being taken by FLA and Apple to move their production in a
more socially responsible direction."

    Beginning immediately, all manufacturers applying for TCO Certified will be required
to meet the following enhanced social responsibility criteria (along with baseline TCO
Certified environmental, ergonomics and health / safety requirements):

   
    - The eight ILO core labour standards,
    - UN child convention article 32,
    - The manufacturer should work according to local health- and safety regulations
      and follow the labour laws, including minimum wages and social security in the country
      of manufacture.
    - The manufacturer should also allow freedom of organization in countries where
      no free trade unions are allowed.
    - Sharpened criteria for verification as well as on-site inspections.

    Here you can find the updated criteria for TCO Certified

Rapid Fire Marketing Updates CannaCig Production

CARSON CITY, Nev., March 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Rapid Fire Marketing (Pink Sheets: RFMK) announced today that the first CannaCig production is complete and the Company is awaiting a shipment to arrive from Hong Kong, which is designated as an express shipment. We expect that the shipment via DHL could arrive later today or over the weekend. This is the Company's first run with a new manufacturer so to ensure quality, the devices will be inspected and tested. Once inspection and testing is complete, the units will be available at Otherside Health Management in Los Angeles, CA. This will be followed with a release to retail outlets across the country, online and then worldwide.

"California was chosen as an obvious test market and we couldn't have found a better place than Otherside Health Management. We wish to ensure the manufacturing facility has followed all specifications on this first batch of devices. If these units pass the tests and inspection process, Rapid Fire Marketing will go into full production runs of the CannaCig," said Tom Allinder, CEO of Rapid Fire Marketing, Inc.

"Back in February, RFMK set a deadline of 31 March to have the CannaCig in distribution. Judah Neiditch and Otherside Health Management have done everything in their power to assist meeting the deadline but the responsibility lies with RFMK. As of this time the distribution of the CannaCig, including branding, marketing, website and all has been established by Judah Neiditch and everything is set to release the units once inspection and testing are complete which will take less than a day. It is my responsibility to get units delivered and I will not rest until they arrive. We are thankful to our shareholders for understanding this is our first production of units and there are going to be rough patches; this is expected in any start-up production. What's great is now is that we have all the complete order/shipping details and timelines so all future projects will be executed with greater ease and understanding. There will always be obstacles to overcome, but we will overcome them and we will emerge stronger. So, as the new CEO, in all future communications we are not going to publish or impose deadlines on things we have no control over," Allinder concluded.

"It is exciting to receive phone calls daily, and email messages constantly, requesting the CannaCig. We carry other devices and have never seen a demand like this. We are anxious as many to get these in stock, but I personally do not mind the wait as I see it is to make sure that when the devices arrive, it is a quality product. This is unlike so many other devices that were rushed to the shelf and are returned constantly. I appreciate Tom for taking these extra precautions for we here at Otherside see this as an end to product returns on such devices and a step ahead in our customer satisfaction. No one likes purchasing a faulty device, as a company it looks bad to carry one, and the CannaCig will be an end to that vicious circle we have endured from all other units we carry," said Judah Neiditch of Otherside Health Management.

The first run of CannaCigs was funded without any sort of outside financing. Over the last two weeks Tom Allinder, the CEO, has been working seven days a week to complete the business plan that will be presented to several interested long term growth funders. Along with this, the new CEO is going through every transaction the Company has made since inception and is promising any short term funding found henceforth will be accounted for and subsequently ended. There will be no more issuances of free trading stock provided that the Company achieves long term funding.

"We want to quickly get to production runs of 5,000 and 10,000 units at a time. Between private investors and long term financing options we have on the table, if successful, we can get to the big production runs sooner than later," concluded Allinder.

Safe Harbor:

From time to time, the Company may issue news releases that contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. This material may contain statements about expected future events and/or financial results that are forward-looking in nature and subject to risks and uncertainties. For those statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statement provisions contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and any amendments thereto. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, goals, assumptions, or future events or performance are not statements of historical fact and may be "forward-looking statements."

Spring Cleaning Means Big Savings During America's Mobile Makeover Month at RadioShack

April Minimum Trade-in Value Encourages Consumers to Clean Out Junk Drawers, Trade Old Phones for New Mobile Technology

FORT WORTH, Texas, March 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- RadioShack Corp. (NYSE: RSH), a leading national retailer of innovative technology products, services and accessories, announces America's Mobile Makeover Month by RadioShack -- the retailer's latest program to help consumers keep up with ever-changing, fast-paced mobile technology without breaking the bank.

Starting April 1 through April 28, through this special promotion RadioShack guarantees customers at least $30 and as much as $300 in immediate store credit when they trade in a working mobile phone and activate a new one.

A recent survey commissioned by RadioShack found more than 90 million American adults have unused technology products lying around the house. In addition, a third of mobile phone users report owning unused phones -- and more than half of those with unused phones own two or more. RadioShack encourages customers to do a little spring cleaning starting this weekend, clearing out the clutter, freeing up useful storage space and preparing to unlock the value of their unused mobile phones starting this Sunday.

"We all have hidden tech treasures in our homes. RadioShack is excited to give consumers an incentive to unlock that value," said Gene M. Dinkens, senior vice president of store operations for RadioShack Corp. "America's Mobile Makeover Month by RadioShack issues a challenge to dig deep in that junk drawer, clean out that closet, check under the couch and stop your tech-hoarding habits. Bring us your old products so we can help the entire country save millions this April."

America's Mobile Makeover Month by RadioShack runs April 1-28, 2012, at participating RadioShack stores nationwide and will also feature additional trade-in specials in weekly circulars available online each Sunday during the promotion. Guaranteed minimum trade-in values are available only through April 28, but RadioShack's hassle-free Trade & Save Program is available every day. Items turned in through RadioShack's Trade & Save Program are recycled or refurbished, saving consumers money while diverting tech trash from the waste stream.

To learn more about RadioShack's Trade & Save Program or to appraise your device, visit a nearby RadioShack, go to radioshacktradeandsave.com, or download the free RadioShack Trade & Save app in the Apple App Store or Google Play for Android.

Complete the trade-in at a participating RadioShack location to take advantage of the special minimum trade-in value on working mobile phones or receive immediate store credit. Trade-ins may also be completed by mail. Visit radioshacktradeandsave.com to receive a free shipping label. A RadioShack gift card for the trade-in value will be mailed after the product is received. A $30 minimum trade-in requires in-store purchase and activation of a new phone on a qualifying two-year plan, limited to one per customer. The $300 value applies to the Apple iPhone 4S 64GB and Samsung Galaxy S II only; values for other models will vary. Products must be in fully functional, working condition. Other restrictions apply. See store for details.

Survey results, commissioned by RadioShack, are from a nationally representative telephone survey of 2,327 adults, ages 18 and over, conducted March 19-25, 2012, by KRC Research. This number includes 327 interviews conducted with Hispanic-Americans for a total of 406 interviews with this audience. The margin of error for the overall study is +/- 2.0 percent.

CHELMSFORD, Mass., March 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Datawatch Corporation (NASDAQ: DWCH), the leading global provider of report analytics products and services, today announced that it has completed the previously announced purchase of the intellectual property underlying its Monarch Report Analytics platform from Raymond Huger, d/b/a Math Strategies.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110711/NE33146LOGO )

Michael A. Morrison, president and CEO of Datawatch, said, "We are very pleased to have completed this important transaction, which will provide us with the needed financial, marketing and technological flexibility to pursue our business strategy going forward."

US$100 Smart Phone Made in China Attracts Universal Attention

According to forecasts by some media, the Guohong Shuidi phone recently launched in China may in the near future start a war between Chinese handset manufacturers and foreign ones for market share with "low-cost smart phones".

BEIJING, March 30, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- With China's continuous economic development in recent years, many national enterprises in the country are growing. Although China's mobile phone market is still dominated by several world's leading mobile phone manufacturers including Apple, Nokia and Samsung, the progress in China's domestic mobile phone brands is obvious. Smart phones with high-end configurations made by a few foreign handset manufacturers are leading the development of the mobile phone industry. As smart phone technologies mature, mobile phone manufacturers have gradually changed their strategies for grabbing market share from configuration-oriented to price-oriented. As a result, smart phones priced at around RMB 1,000 have sprung up like mushrooms, which are represented by Chinese-made smart phones. The recent launch of the Guohong Shuidi phone has kept the price war going and attracted a great deal of attention on Chinese-made mobile phones.

The recently-launched Guohong Shuidi phone is popular in China. It is sold at an ultra low price of US$100, but features virtually the same configurations as Apple, Samsung and Nokia phones. Such a low-cost smart phone, once entering the mobile phone markets in other countries, would undoubtedly be a challenge to local brands.

Taking proactive measures to address challenge of low cost smart phone priced at US$100

The Shuidi mobile phone is manufactured by China's Chongqing Guohong Technology Development, which owns the country's famed TV brand Changhong and is widely known for making high quality but affordable products.  The cell phone comes with medium- and high-end configurations, including the Android2.3.5 system, an 800Mhz processor, a 3.5-inch capacitive touch screen, dual cameras as well as the dual SIM card dual standby feature, and is similar to Apple iPhones and Samsung phones in appearance designs. 

Noticeably, the smart phone uses the most cutting-edge confidentiality technologies available in today's mobile phone market, including Qihoo 360 Technology 's custom "cloud-based safety" and "cloud-based voice" functionalities. The mobile phone has now been available at China's 360buy.com at a price of approx. US$100 and is expected to see a continued increase in sales in the Chinese domestic market with its outstanding features.

A spokesperson for Chongqing Guohong Technology Development said in an interview that with its distinct advantages, the Shuidi phone will be introduced worldwide as the company will promote the exports of the phone to overseas markets while the launch in China is just the beginning. As a result, industry analysts indicated that the roll-out of the smart phone may have a great influence on the world's cell phone industry.

The smart phone has sold well since its launch in China. Currently, some consumers have collected the custom phone ordered through the Internet. Many of them said that they are very satisfied with many features of the phone that meet their requirements, including appearance design and operating speed. In addition, some of them gave positive feedbacks and opinions to help improve the product. The spokesperson said that the company would like to hear advice from consumers to further improve the Guohong series mobile phones.
