SinoHub, Inc. Announces New SCM Customers and Re-affirms Guidance
SHENZHEN, China, April 8, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- SinoHub, Inc. (NYSE Amex: SIHI), an electronics company whose major growth driver is manufacturing and distributing custom, private-label mobile phones, today announced that it has added three substantial new mobile phone design houses as supply chain management ("SCM") customers, namely, Tianlong Shenzhen, Gaophone Shanghai and Henzong Hong Kong. These new customers are expected to generate additional profits for the electronic sales and services ("ECSS") business segment. Transactions with these new customers will strengthen the Company's robust database of information available to support electronic component purchasing in its ECSS and integrated contract manufacturing ("ICM") business segments. Furthermore, SinoHub will have the opportunity to seek to engage these new SCM customers as suppliers of new reference designs for mobile phones in the ICM segment. These new clients are major Chinese design houses, similar to SinoHub's largest SCM client, Huaqin, which is now also an ICM supplier.
In light of the strong growth opportunities in SinoHub's ICM business segment and its strengthened working capital position as a result of its recently reported $11 million equity raise and existing bank facilities, SinoHub remains confident in the firm's fundamentals, strategy, and prospects. The Company has thus far not seen any significant impact on its business as a result of the recent earthquake in Japan and, as such, reaffirms its 2011 full year revenue guidance of 30% growth to $255 million as well as its target of producing and selling 3 million mobile phones for 2011, representing year-over-year growth of 160% in terms of handsets sold. SinoHub does not expect it will require further equity financing for the foreseeable future.

IP Video Networks Launches New Technology for Video Quality Measurement at NAB 2011
The new v.Cortex analyzer is based on intellectual property licensed from BT
SAN DIEGO, April 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Path 1, a division of IP Video Networks, Inc., introduces "v.Cortex" to global Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (MVPD), including cable, IPTV and satellite network operators, to simulate subscriber perception of video quality. With v.Cortex, MVPDs can evaluate video content from a customer perspective.
v.Cortex leverages BT's novel perceptual quality engine, to deliver consistent and precise measurement of MPEG encoded video library content. It significantly reduces overhead by monitoring all of a network operator's video libraries, providing concise summaries of quality issues. As MVPDs increase the size of their video libraries, quality assurance becomes more difficult and time consuming. "The v.Cortex analyzer ensures that network operators no longer have to watch every minute of every video to provide a high quality product to subscribers," said Bob Coackley, CEO, IPVN.
The v.Cortex workstation produces a perceptual score that is highly correlated with the mean opinion score (MOS) of an audience. Operators can use the score to ensure all of their videos meet customer expectations prior to transmission.
Mike Galvin, Managing Director of BT Research and Technology, said: "It is always rewarding to see innovative BT research applied to real world business issues in this way and we look forward to IPVN delivering the benefits of perceptual quality management technology to broadcasters and content service providers worldwide."
v.Cortex is available through channel partners around the world. It is available for demonstration at the NAB Show in Las Vegas in the Path 1-IPVN booth: SU2902.
About Path 1, a division of IP Video Networks, Inc.
Path 1 provides IP video products to broadcasters, satellite operators, cable MSOs, and telecom operators. At the core of the company is expertise in IP video and deep knowledge of digital video transport and analysis. IPVN's Path 1 division produces IP gateways and analysis tools that guarantee professional quality for contribution and distribution of real-time video over public or private IP networks, including the Internet. IP Video Network's Path 1 division is based in San Diego, California. More information: http://www.path1.com

eDoorways Puts Finishing Touch on Multi-Stream Revenue Generation Software
AUSTIN, Texas, April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- eDoorways International Corporation (Pink Sheets: EDWY) is in the process of completing the VoucherHounds integration that will allow it to implement the new revenue generating feature. As announced in early March, eDoorways International Corporation is working closely with Paddington Media, an Austin based software development company, to implement and offer a Groupon like feature to eDoorways PowerChannel owners. VoucherHounds, as the software is known, allows eDoorways PowerChannel owners to provide daily offers to their PowerChannel consumers and follows the proven Groupon revenue model.
In order for consumers to purchase daily voucher offers through VoucherHounds, a total eCommerce function is being implemented allowing payments to be received and processed. The Company has also decided to allow PowerChannel owners to use the eCommerce functionality for their own use in their PowerChannels. This means that PowerChannel owners will be able to sell their own goods and services through the eDoorways platform.
"This is where eDoorways starts differentiating itself from other social media service offerings by integrating commerce with life style problem solving (SOLVE) and collaboration," stated Gary Kimmons, CEO of eDoorways International Corporation.
In order to make both of these powerful revenue generating features available to PowerChannel owners, this release of the eDoorways platform will also include the ability for users to create and edit their own PowerChannels with easy to use templates.
eDoorways International Corporation will begin testing the software shortly as part of an anticipated May pilot.
Both VoucherHounds and the eCommerce functionality will be seen as unique service offerings from each PowerChannel owner and are fully customizable to each PowerChannel owner's needs. This will give eDoorways the ability to reach out to their customers in a value added way to not only add revenue to the company, but to share that ability to the PowerChannel owners in a proven revenue sharing model.
Groupon is a registered trademark of Groupon, Inc. and has no affiliation with eDoorways International Corporation.

Online Film Distribution Gains Ground With Dynamo Player
NEW YORK, April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Dynamo Player (http://www.DynamoPlayer.com) has announced several new films available for online viewing this week, including documentary, horror and comedy features from three continents.
In a first for the New York City startup, Dynamo Player was employed for the simultaneous theatrical and online premiere of Aussie comedy Little Johnny the Movie. Anyone unable to make it to a public screening can watch immediately on the film's web site (http://littlejohnnythemovie.com/video-on-demand/). After a weekend of successful screenings and steady online sales, Little Johnny producer David Redman says choosing this approach was the right decision.
"The combination of a theatrical release as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and a simultaneous worldwide online release via Dynamo has been the most effective and efficient way of building audience interest in our movie worldwide," Redman said.
Meanwhile, previously released films like Barry Ptolemy's documentary on legendary inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil, Transcendent Man, continue to expand their audience online with Dynamo Player. Viewers are now watching Transcendent Man on the film's web site (http://transcendentman.com/watch-now/), Facebook page, and many other sites where fans and critics have embedded the video player.
"The best thing about discovering a film like Transcendent Man online is you can watch it immediately," says Will Coghlan, Dynamo COO and a fan of the film. "Viewers can watch a great film like this as soon as they discover it, right on the same page, while they are still excited about it."
When viewers are excited about a film, Dynamo also makes it easy to spread the word. Fans can share films by email, tweet links to them on Twitter, or tell all of their friends on Facebook using buttons that are right inside the video player. After hearing about a film, the ability to quickly pay with PayPal and Amazon also helps to deliver steady sales.
Since opening the online video platform to filmmakers of every stripe last September, CEO Rob Millis says Dynamo Player has seen steady sales growth for their films.
"It's exciting to have such a wide variety of filmmakers choosing Dynamo Player," Millis says, "and very gratifying to see independent creators earning thousands of dollars each month with our platform."

TOKYO, April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Seiko I Infotech Inc. (SIIT), a wholly owned subsidiary of Seiko Instruments Inc., has released the Teriostar LP-1030 series, a value-class wide-format multifunction printer with high performance and compact design.

LeapFrog Debuts 'Scout's ABC Garden' App for iPhone®, iPod touch® and iPad(TM)
App Gives Parents Insight into Learning with Innovative Personalization and Best Learning Content
EMERYVILLE, Calif., April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LeapFrogEnterprises, Inc. (NYSE: LF), a leader in education innovation and the creator of many award-winning products, today announced that its new 'Scout's ABC Garden' app for iPhone®, iPod touch® and iPad(TM) is now available on the App Store. 'Scout's ABC Garden' app brings LeapFrog's beloved and top-selling plush toys, Scout and Violet, to life as they help teach letters and letter sounds.
'Scout's ABC Garden' app is fully loaded with features that have made LeapFrog a leader in the learning space. Features encourage children to explore letter names and sounds step by step, and each child's experience is customized based on his or her name, favorite food, favorite color and favorite animal. This personalization is carried throughout the game, delivering game content tailored to a child's individual interests.
"LeapFrog is bringing everything we know about learning and fun to the app marketplace with our adorable and very successful puppies, Scout and Violet," said Craig Hendrickson, senior vice president and chief product officer for LeapFrog. "We are taking personalization to a higher level by alerting parents when their child is learning, and giving parents the ability to share these important learning milestones with friends and family through email and social channels."
Swipe. Tap. Fun!
With the 'Scout's ABC Garden' app kids can explore Scout's garden by touching and triggering fun and delightful sounds and animations like interactive clouds, bubbles, ticklish gophers, and Scout and Violet's virtual radio that plays traditional kid-favorite songs. Kids can even rub Scout's or Violet's belly to hear a song with their name, or grow their own letter garden.
Other key aspects of the app include:
-- A is for Achievement. The app is customized to each child's level of
learning, helping every child learn about letters and sounds at his or
her own pace.
-- B is for Bragging. Alerted when learning happens, proud parents can also
share in their child's learning achievements. With each accomplished
goal, not only does the child receive a badge or trophy, but parents are
alerted to their child's achievement which they can then celebrate and
share via social channels, including Facebook.
-- C is for Customization. A main ingredient of the app's appeal is its
deep level of personalization. With the capacity to hold up to three
profiles, a parent can customize the app for different children,
including their favorite foods, colors and animals, so each can
experience unique gameplay.
The 'Scout's ABC Garden' app is available for $3.99 from the App Store on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, or at http://www.itunes.com/appstore.

BSI Group Launches "SCREEN", an Exclusive, Real Time, Web-based Supply Chain Security Intelligence Tool
LONDON, April 7, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
BSI Group America Inc (BSI) introduces Supply Chain Risk Exposure
Evaluation Network (SCREEN), a web-based intelligence tool for supply chain
security. Debuted on April 5, 2011 at BSI's Global Supply Chain Security
Summit, SCREEN offers the most complete, publically available supply chain
security intelligence data and analysis resource. With criminal organizations
exploiting gaps in the supply chain to steal and engage in illicit trade,
governments world-wide are encouraging businesses to apply higher levels of
diligence to suppliers' security practices and chain of custody controls.
Managing risk and securing trade in the face of both dynamic threats and
shifting compliance requirements is demanding, and it requires reliable and
in-depth intelligence.
SCREEN presents unique, proprietary risk data and BSI-generated analysis
related to global supply chain security risk exposure as well as trade and
compliance information available for over 200 countries. BSI's threat
analysis and security countermeasure recommendations in areas such as
in-transit security, supplier minimum-security criteria, and cargo
chain-of-custody controls helps SCREEN users to identify and understand
supply chain security threats and develop tailored approaches to improve
business continuity and compliance.
The terrorist threat to the supply chain is real. Consider the following
statements made by security and trade experts at the Global Supply Chain
Security Summit on April 5, 2011.
-- Over 600 supply chain terrorism attacks have occurred since 2004.
-- Supply chain terrorism attacks have occurred in at least 32 countries.
-- Global commercial losses due to counterfeiting are estimated at $500
billion.
SCREEN provides users the ability to create and sustain a global
risk-based supply chain security program. Dan Purtell, Sr. Vice President -
BSI, Supply Chain Security Solutions states, "With more than 90% of corporate
losses occurring while goods are in-transit, and 80% of un-manifested
contraband being introduced once cargo leaves a facility, it is critical to
tier security based on threat level. SCREEN quantifies in-country and
in-transit risk with unequaled precision and allows for risk based inspection
targeting and threat identification."
There are significant benefits to be realized from the SCREEN
Intelligence tool. These include:
-- SCREEN subscribers gain exclusive access to country information and
can download country-specific reports in several focus areas: supply
chain terrorism; cargo disruption; and business and political climate.
-- SCREEN also generates real-time trade interruption, cargo theft, and
contraband and smuggling updates.
-- SCREEN Spotlight News includes media on supply chain security-related
incidents worldwide.
-- SCREEN and BSI's Supply Chain Manager can be bundled to offer a full
featured solution to manage risk and supplier assessments.
The U.S. Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) program now
recommends a five-step risk assessment process for which the US Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) lists over two dozen intelligence sources that
participants use as the basis for incorporating risk into supplier
assessments. Using the same technology and intelligence protocols that
certain U.S. government bureaus currently employ, SCREEN is also an ideal
supply chain intelligence tool for customs administrations; agencies involved
in border security, intelligence, and licensing; and government offices

CAMPBELL, Calif., April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- FastPencil announced today that award-winning and highly acclaimed writer and producer of dramatic features and documentary films, Helen Whitney, has signed with its selective imprint, FastPencil PREMIERE, to publish "Forgiveness: A Time to Love and a Time to Hate," which is now available in most major bookstores and online. Whitney joins a growing number of best-selling authors using FastPencil PREMIERE for its high-quality traditional and digital formats, speed to press, greater market reach, higher author royalties and open collaboration in partnership.
"Forgiveness resonates with people on a fundamental level, and in today's world, the act of forgiveness can be very powerful," said Helen Whitney. "I wrote this book to share stories of forgiveness, raise questions, challenge feelings and empower people at a time when we need it most. FastPencil enabled me to bring this book to market quickly while using all the latest publishing techniques, including e-book formats and social media."
In "Forgiveness," Whitney looks at the vast human capacity to forgive in situations spanning personal betrayal and adultery to global reconciliation following genocide.

Her documentaries cover a wide range of subjects, including presidential candidates, youth gangs, a Trappist Monastery and Pope John Paul II. Her works have received a number of awards, including an Emmy Award, two Peabody Awards, two Humanitas Awards and the prestigious duPoint-Columbia Journalism Award.
"Helen Whitney has mastered the art of storytelling. She touches the hearts of her readers and viewers by connecting with them on a personal level," said Steve Wilson, FastPencil co-founder and CEO. "We jumped at the opportunity to publish 'Forgiveness' because we truly believe in its purpose, and because FastPencil is ideally suited for this book."
Whitney joins a growing list of acclaimed authors at FastPencil PREMIERE whose previous books have sold hundreds of millions of copies collectively, including:

AT&T Expands Mobile Broadband Wireless Capacity in Ashland
Additional Spectrum Expected to Improve Connectivity and Performance of Mobile Broadband Data and Voice Connectivity
ASHLAND, Ky., April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Customers in Ashland are expected to experience improved mobile broadband and voice performance as a result of continued investment and innovation by AT&T. The company announced today that it has completed a key initiative in its ongoing efforts to enhance the wireless capacity and performance of its mobile broadband network throughout the Ashland area.
Areas of enhanced capacity include the downtown area of Ashland and the neighborhoods of Westwood and Millseat. The network has also been upgraded along US-60 between I-64 and Ashland and in the towns of Cannonsburg, Meads, Summit and Winslow.
"The expansion of wireless network capacity will be a real plus for Boyd County," said Rep. Kevin Sinnette. "This is good news for economic development and for area residents who depend on their wireless devices for conducting business, gathering information and staying connected with family and friends."
The network enhancement adds new layers of frequency, also known as "carriers," to more efficiently manage available spectrum and increase mobile broadband capacity at local cell sites. The expansion helps manage ever-growing demand for mobile broadband services by allocating more network resources for AT&T's mobile broadband network.
"Delivering the fastest mobile broadband coverage for consumers and businesses who need to stay connected is our ultimate objective," said David McFaddin, regional director, external affairs, AT&T Kentucky. "Our ongoing investments in Ashland and Boyd County will help ensure that our customers have access to the mobile broadband services that help drive continued economic growth."
"Our goal is for our customers to have an extraordinary experience. As part of the Ashland community, we're always looking for new opportunities to provide an enhanced customer experience and our investment in the local wireless network is just one way we're accomplishing that," said Erika K. Thompson-Kemp, vice president and general manager for AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets in Virginia and West Virginia. "In addition, our recently announced agreement to acquire T-Mobile USA will strengthen and expand our network in Ashland. If approved, this deal means that we'll be able to expand the next generation of mobile broadband - 4G LTE - from our current plan of 80 percent of the U.S. population to 95 percent."
AT&T's mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T has the best international coverage of any U.S. wireless provider, providing access to voice service in more than 220 countries and data service in more than 200 countries.
AT&T also operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network** with more than 24,000 hotspots in the U.S. and provides access to more than 125,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements.

FiberMedia Officially Launches Its Managed Cloud Computing Platform
FiberMedia successfully launches its Cloud Platform to drive increased flexibility and scalability for its clients, while ensuring utmost security and privacy of client data.
SECAUCUS, N.J., April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- FiberMedia, a leading New York and New Jersey data center operator, announces the successful deployment of its Managed Cloud computing platform. The first significant customer deployment supports a multi-national financial services firm. The Managed Cloud offering comes shortly after the Company announced major datacenter facility upgrades in Secaucus, NJ and Westchester, NY.
The Company's Managed Cloud provides the flexibility and scalability of infrastructure-as-a-service ("IaaS") while ensuring that client data is maintained with utmost security and privacy.
FiberMedia's Managed Cloud offering supports a wide range of computing platforms (Windows, Linux, BSD, etc). Customers can migrate existing applications as-is and leverage the power of the Managed Cloud without spending large sums on new application development. To ensure reliability, FiberMedia has architected fully redundant infrastructure that powers its Managed Cloud and is delivered within SAS70 Type 2 certified data centers.
"We realize that client needs differ substantially and one solution does not fit all.

That is the only way that real cost savings can be achieved over time," stated Michael Bucheit, CEO of FiberMedia.
"CIO's are demanding changes in the way compute resources are provisioned. Our Managed Cloud provides two options: First, compute and storage capacity on demand for client applications running on our infrastructure. And second, as flexible, on-demand capacity when peak demand cycles of our client applications require additional computing resources," said Mohit Machanda, Managing Director of Services for FiberMedia.
