Microsoft Dynamics Introduces 'Cloud CRM for Less' Offer

Microsoft executive invites Salesforce.com and Oracle customers to consider Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online.

REDMOND, Wash., Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) today released an Open Letter from Michael Park, corporate vice president, sales, marketing and operations, Microsoft Business Solutions, inviting customers to learn about and evaluate Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. As part of the letter, Microsoft announced the "Cloud CRM for Less" offer for Salesforce.com and Oracle customers. Through this offer, Microsoft will rebate eligible customers up to $200 for each user that makes the switch to Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online between now and June 30, 2011. The offer can be applied for services such as migrating data or customizing the solution to meet unique business needs. More details on the offer can be found at http://www.cloudcrmforless.com. Complete text of the letter from Michael Park is as follows:

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO)

Between economic pressures, technological advancements, and the need to manage growth and scale, businesses are reevaluating their customer relationship management (CRM) systems to ensure that they are getting the most value from their technology investments.

What we hear from customers is that they are looking for increased user productivity, better integration with existing tools and technologies, and more flexibility and affordability when it comes to their CRM systems. They are struck by the overwhelming amount of information and hype in the market, which is leading to confusion and frustration when trying to determine which CRM solution is the best fit for their businesses.

If you are looking for a CRM system that will deliver productivity for your people, offer flexibility to your business and work with your existing IT investments, you should consider Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online.

In making the switch from other solutions, such as Salesforce.com, you will join thousands of companies that have found that Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online is easier to use, adds value to the technology investments they've already made and delivers greater business insight.

For instance, Data Reduction Systems switched from Salesforce.com and has since saved more than 50 percent in user costs and reached 100 percent user adoption. In addition, in just one month since switching CRM systems, Smead realized a 75 percent decrease in annual subscription costs and a 20 percent increase in user adoption. Both companies saw improved business intelligence and collaboration.

If you are a Salesforce.com customer attending Dreamforce this week, we encourage you to ask the following:

    --  In this economy, how can I justify paying two to three times more for an
        enterprise CRM system than I need to?*
    --  Microsoft provides a financially backed 99.9 percent uptime commitment
        for every Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online customer; why does
        Salesforce.com only provide me with "commercially reasonable efforts" to
        keep my business running?
    --  Having access to the most up-to-date information is critical to my
        business; why doesn't Salesforce.com provide real-time access to data
        and dashboards, refreshed whenever I need it like Microsoft does?
    --  Microsoft works great with Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Office; why
        does Salesforce.com want me to start from scratch when it comes to
        productivity tools for my people?
    --  Microsoft provides the flexibility for my CRM system to work with other
        systems whether they run in the cloud or on-premises; why does
        Salesforce.com lock me into one way of doing things?

For more than a decade, Microsoft has run some of the largest, most reliable cloud services in the world. With the combined power of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online and the full depth and breadth of Microsoft's productivity offerings, we can deliver value in a way that works best for your business. Just ask Microsoft Dynamics CRM customers such as Jelly Belly and Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift Europe, which have won some of the CRM industry's most notable awards.

In addition, Salesforce.com customers that switch to Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online between now and June 30, 2011, are eligible for the "Cloud CRM for Less"** promotion. Through this promotion, Microsoft will pay your organization $200 cash for each user that makes the switch to Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. This rebate can be applied for services to help you switch -- such as migrating your data or customizing the solution for your unique business needs. At Microsoft, we do not believe you should be forced to pay a premium to achieve business success.

Please visit DontGetForced.com/CRM8 to see product demos and hear from companies on why they made the switch to Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. You can also join the conversation @MSDynamicsCRM on Twitter and on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM page on Facebook.

We look forward to hearing from you as we work hard every day to earn your confidence in our products.

Imperva Unveils Comprehensive Strategy to Enhance Data Security in the Cloud

Imperva Spinoff Incapsula Helps Hosters Offer Affordable, Enterprise-class Web Application Protection for Small and Medium Businesses

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Imperva, the leader in data security, today unveiled a comprehensive strategy to help cloud providers, enterprises and small to medium sized businesses (SMBs) protect sensitive data against external and internal threats and comply with regulations such as PCI, SOX and HIPAA.  Additionally, Imperva spinoff 'Incapsula' will help web hosters give SMBs affordable web application protection. The Incapsula web application firewall service gives small businesses an easy and affordable way to manage website security and performance for any domain that they own even if it is hosted by a third party. For hosters and other service providers, Incapsula enables website security to be extended to an entire customer base.  Imperva will resell this service to complement Incapsula's own sales efforts.

"Cloud computing has created a paradigm shift in the way organizations view their data center architecture," explained Imperva CTO Amichai Shulman.  "Imperva is stepping up to the challenge of protecting cloud-based data from hackers and cloud insiders with a comprehensive data security solution."

"Incapsula's service helps web hosting companies provide SMBs with an easy, affordable way to defend their web applications against external hackers," explained Gur Shatz, CEO of Incapsula.  "Given the nature of today's indiscriminate, bot-based attack methods, small businesses are subject to significant cyber attacks and require enterprise-class protection."

Subscribing to Incapsula's web protection service is a simple five-minute process that does not require installation of hardware or software, just a simple DNS change.  Incapsula inspects all incoming traffic to any subscriber's website, keeping hackers out while accelerating outgoing traffic.  The Incapsula service is suitable for the SMB and cloud market, requiring minimal setup with service beginning in the first quarter 2011.  The list price for this service is expected to start at $50 per month.

Incapsula complements Imperva SecureSphere's cloud capabilities, such as those leveraged by web hosting company, FireHost. "SecureSphere gives FireHost a scalable web application security platform that can handle our rapid customer growth. As part of our core service, all customers are protected from web attacks using the SecureSphere Web Application Firewall. We're also excited to offer premium data security services for HIPAA and PCI compliance based on SecureSphere Database Activity Monitoring and File Activity Monitoring products," explained Chris Drake, CEO of FireHost.

Imperva's high-level cloud capabilities include:

Attack Protection and Access Control for the Cloud:  SecureSphere Web Application Firewall (WAF) provides market-leading protection for cloud-based web applications against complex and sophisticated attacks. SecureSphere WAF enables a quick and easy route to PCI 6.6 compliance and the ability to instantly mitigate known application vulnerabilities.

Data Access Auditing for the Cloud:  SecureSphere Database Activity Monitoring (DAM) and File Activity Monitoring (FAM) provide sensitive data access auditing for cloud-based databases and file-sharing systems.

SecureSphere supports all major cloud deployment models and is available by deploying physical or virtual SecureSphere appliances within a cloud data center:

    --  Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers:  IaaS providers offer
        state-of-the-art flexible and secure cloud data centers.  SecureSphere
        enables IaaS providers to offer web attack protection and regulatory
        compliance readiness to their customers and generate incremental
        business. Imperva customers include Savvis and FireHost.
    --  Platform as a Service (PaaS) providers: PaaS providers offer application
        development and delivery platforms that accelerate time-to-market of new
        applications and services. SecureSphere enables PaaS providers to give
        their customers web attack protection as part of the underlying
        platform.
    --  Software as a Service (SaaS) providers:  SaaS providers deliver
        cloud-based business applications for sales, financial, HR and other
        functional areas. These applications host large amounts of sensitive
        data across many organizations. As organizations adopt cloud
        applications to streamline their IT operations, SaaS providers are
        expected to ensure data security and address regulatory compliance -- as
        would be the case for on-premise data.
    --  Enterprise Private Clouds:  Private clouds are a replacement or an
        extension of the traditional data center and must address the security
        of publicly facing web applications. SecureSphere Web Application
        Firewall (WAF) provides the industry-leading protection against Internet
        attacks targeting web applications and enables rapid mitigation of web
        application vulnerabilities.

Now Available on Your iPhone: The Polaroid Experience

Polaroid Brings Its Classic Border Logo to iPhone Photos

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Polaroid today announced a new Polaroid branded application for iPhone. The Polaroid Instant Camera App for iPhone simulates the classic Polaroid instant photo experience, enhancing ordinary iPhone photos by adding the highly recognized Polaroid Classic Border.

"Since its inception, the Polaroid brand has been synonymous with classic, simple photography," said Jon Pollock, CTO of Polaroid. "The Polaroid Instant Camera App puts a fun twist on photos captured with iPhones and we're looking forward to watching a new generation of tech-savvy consumers incorporate the Polaroid experience into their mobile lives."

The Polaroid Instant Camera App for iPhone allows users to select from four Polaroid styles - black and white, vintage, colorize and digital - for taking pictures or editing pictures already stored on the iPhone. Just like the traditional Polaroid experience, once a photo is taken using the application, the user must "shake" or "blow" the phone's screen for the picture to develop. The user can then add handwriting-style text and share their photos via email or through their favorite social networking sites. The application also allows easy upload and storage of an unlimited number of images and albums for free at Polaroid Studio (http://www.polaroidstudio.com).

The Polaroid Instant Camera appfor iPhone was created for Polaroid by Pente Group, a developer of mobile and social media applications based in Montreal, Canada.

The Polaroid Instant Camera app for iPhone is available now from the Apple iTunes store for $1.99 cents.

About Polaroid

Across several generations, people regard Polaroid as one of the most trusted, well-respected and recognizable brands when it comes to instant photography. The Polaroid story began more than seventy years ago with polarized sunglasses, evolved into instant film, cameras, and camera accessories, as well as other consumer electronics categories. People can expect to see new Polaroid branded products that will deliver the fun, instant gratification and value for which the brand has long stood.

SlimWare Utilities Launches Cloud-Based Software for Updating Computer Drivers

SlimDrivers and DriverUpdate Automatically Improve PC Performance by Updating and Maintaining the Software that Communicates with Printers, Scanners and other Hardware Devices

D'IBERVILLE, Miss., Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- SlimWare Utilities, provider of high-performance computer maintenance solutions, today announced SlimDrivers and DriverUpdate, the industry's first cloud-based software for updating and maintaining the software that powers communications between an operating system and its computer hardware, commonly called "drivers."  SlimDrivers and DriverUpdate improve PC performance by repairing and updating the drivers between a computer and its printers, scanners, digital cameras, sound cards, video cards, Bluetooth devices and other peripherals.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100217/CL56709LOGO )

Both products are available for download at http://www.driverupdate.net.

SlimDrivers is a free application. DriverUpdate is a premium, fully automated upgrade that's available for $29.97 for a one-year subscription.

Impact on Printers, Scanners and Other PC Hardware Components

Drivers are the software applications that allow an operating system to communicate with the hardware attached to it, such as printers, scanners, modems, digital cameras, sound cards and other peripheral devices. Driver software is like a translator, helping a computer communicate with its hardware and telling the hardware how to work. Like any software, driver programs need to be updated to fix bugs and resolve conflicts that can develop over time. Updating drivers can dramatically improve a PC's entire system performance, including making the hardware and peripherals function better.

    --  SlimDrivers detects what devices need to be updated and identifies all
        the proper executables, helping consumers to find and download the
        correct drivers for their system.
    --  DriverUpdate, the premium, fully automated upgrade, goes a step further
        to actually start the installation process for multiple drivers
        automatically, allowing consumers to update all their drivers software
        simultaneously in an easy, sequential process. DriverUpdate provides an
        easy experience for busy consumers, while SlimDrivers provides a more
        self-directed experience for tech-savvy IT users.

"Our driver updating software removes the frustration consumers feel from slow-moving or malfunctioning computer hardware," said Chris Cope, CEO of SlimWare Utilities, Inc. "SlimDrivers and DriverUpdate prevent device errors by providing an overview of a PC's hardware, flagging for updates and, in the case of DriverUpdate, automatically starting the install process for multiple drivers simultaneously. Because we're cloud-based, our system provides the most up-to-date driver for your specific system."

Both products update driver software for all popular computer device brands, including Acer, Brother, Canon, Compaq, Dell, Hewlett Packard, LG, Microsoft, Mitsubishi, Samsung, Sony, and many others.

Cope noted that DriverUpdate is great for online gamers because manufacturers of graphics and sound cards regularly distribute updates that enhance the performance of their products. SlimDrivers and DriverUpdate give gamers the benefit of automatic installation for the correct, most current graphic and sound card updates.

Cloud-based Product Enhancements

First launched as a public beta at the Black Hat Conference in July, SlimDrivers and DriverUpdate are coming to market now with cloud-based upgrades that improve the product's ability to identify the best, most compatible driver software for a PC.  Using a cloud database gives SlimDrivers and DriverUpdate access in real-time to the most current software driver updates.

With cloud technology, SlimDrivers and DriverUpdate use crowd-sourcing to spider and aggregate millions of devices. In addition, they both implement the latest developments in analysis technology, coordinating checks with the Windows Device Manager, Windows System Manager and Windows Update Online.

SlimDrivers and DriverUpdate Key Attributes:

    --  Identifies when a driver needs updating and identifies the proper
        executable for a system.
    --  DriverUpdate only: starts the driver install automatically for multiple
        drivers, simultaneously downloading and installing them in correct
        sequence.
    --  Provides the best communication and function for sound cards, printers,
        video, motherboards, Webcams, Bluetooth devices, flip video devices,
        Smartphones, USB drives, routers, Windows and other peripherals and
        operating systems.
    --  Optimizes the interaction between software and hardware, making
        applications and devices run faster and minimizing system errors,
        freezes and crashes.
    --  Updates common software such as Adobe and Java.
    --  Updates Windows, keeping systems free of security issues caused by
        out-of-date software.
    --  Installs missing software for components and updates existing drivers
        and software.

Altera Accelerates FPGA Design Productivity in Quartus II Software Version 10.1 with Next-Generation System-Integration Tool

New Qsys Tool Enables Faster System Development

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Altera Corporation (Nasdaq: ALTR) today announced the release of its Quartus® II development software version 10.1, the programmable logic industry's number-one software in performance and productivity for CPLD, FPGA and HardCopy® ASIC design. The Quartus II Subscription Edition software version 10.1 includes the availability of a beta version of Qsys, Altera's next-generation system-integration tool, which features the industry's first FPGA-optimized network-on-chip-based interconnect. Qsys offers memory-mapped and streaming interface support that achieves nearly double the performance of Altera's SOPC Builder tool, while improving system scalability for large FPGA designs and enabling support for industry-standard interfaces (Avalon® and AMBA® AXI(TM)  and AHB(TM) standards from ARM, etc.).

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101012/SF78952LOGO)

Qsys enables high-performance FPGA-based system design through the use of a network-on-chip-based interconnect architecture. Qsys applies network theory to on-chip communications that provide performance improvements over conventional bus and switch fabric interconnections. This approach, which packetizes all memory-mapped and streaming data, delivers higher operating frequency for the same latency and resource utilization. Qsys also offers an automatic pipelining feature to further increase system fMAX.

Designs that include a high number of intellectual property (IP) or system components benefit from the hierarchical design flow featured within Qsys. The tool enables system scalability by dividing large FPGA designs into multiple sub-systems. This hierarchy allows designers to easily manage each sub-system while giving them the ability to add additional sub-systems to the design with minimal impact on system performance.

Qsys broadens the amount of IP available for FPGA-based system-level design through support for industry-standard interfaces, such as Avalon and AMBA AXI and AHB standards from ARM. The tool provides designers ultimate flexibility by automatically handling the bridging between multiple interface standards. This capability enables users to leverage IP cores with multiple interfaces in a single design. The initial release of Qsys supports the open-standard Avalon interface. Additional industry-standard interfaces, such as AMBA AXI and AHB standards from ARM, will be supported in future releases. For more information about Qsys, visit http://www.altera.com/qsys.

"Productivity continues to be at the forefront of our customers' minds," said Chris Balough, senior director of software, embedded, and digital signal processing (DSP) marketing at Altera. "Altera's new Qsys tool leverages our decade-long experience as the pioneer in FPGA-based switch fabrics to deliver a substantial level of new capabilities and performance that will improve customers' system-level design and IP reuse."

Expanded ModelSim OEM Agreement and Simulation Support

Altera recognizes the importance simulation plays in the FPGA design process and continues to improve the simulation experience within the Quartus II software design environment with the latest release. Altera recently renewed its multi-year OEM agreement with Mentor Graphics, which provides Quartus II software customers access to the latest version of the ModelSim® tool. New features in the ModelSim-Altera edition and ModelSim-Altera starter edition include a waveform editor and improved Altera® IP simulator support. Waveform editing supports a popular method to quickly generate input stimulus for verification.

Additional Features Within Quartus II Software v10.1 Include:

    --  New Device Support--This release provides complete support for Altera's
        new MAX® V CPLD device family announced today. Also added is support
        for Altera's new Arria® II GZ FPGA family and expanded support for the
        Stratix® V FPGA family.
    --  Faster Recompiles--Enhancements to the software's Rapid Recompile
        feature maximize designer productivity by reducing compilation time by
        65 percent, on average.
    --  New External Memory Interface Toolkit--The new toolkit helps designers
        bring their boards up faster by identifying calibration issues and
        measuring the margins for each DQ strobe (DQS) signal.
    --  Enhancements to Chip Planner and TimeQuest--Chip Planner includes a new
        window to let designers easily view and trace multiple critical timing
        paths. TimeQuest adds a new capability to report timing closure
        recommendations so designers can quickly and easily identify and resolve
        timing closure issues.

For additional information about the features offered in Quartus II software v10.1, visit http://www.altera.com/q2whatsnew.

Pricing and Availability

Both the Subscription Edition and the free Web Edition of Quartus II software v10.1 are now available for download. A beta version of Qsys is available in the Quartus II Subscription Edition software. Altera's software subscription program simplifies obtaining Altera design software by consolidating software products and maintenance charges into one annual subscription payment.

Exar Launches High-Performance, Enterprise-Class, Data Security and Reduction Card

New Express DX 1845 Card Minimizes Data Center TCO, Enables Power-Efficient Encryption and Data Compression

FREMONT, Calif., Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Exar Corporation (Nasdaq: EXAR) today announced the Express DX 1845 high-performance data security and reduction card.  The DX 1845 provides a simple, power-efficient solution to secure and optimize data in enterprise applications.  The new data security and reduction card offloads these tasks from the host microprocessor, freeing up valuable cycles to be applied to the application workload or reducing the type or number of microprocessors needed.  By reducing the number of additional microprocessors needed the DX 1845 helps customers with power, cooling and capital expenditures, enabling a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

With the adoption of cloud computing, and increased requirements around protecting information, security is no longer just an issue to be handled in firewalls at the edge of the data center but needs to be addressed throughout the data center.  In addition, the amount of unstructured data being processed by and stored in these data centers is increasing rapidly, putting a strain on storage infrastructure. 

"The expanding digital universe is driving the migration to the cloud as customers are looking for efficient solutions to store, secure, distribute and manage large amounts of data," said Zack Mihalis, senior director of marketing, Datacom and Storage business unit at Exar. "The Express DX 1845 provides security and data reduction capabilities with the performance, scalability, and power-efficiency required for enterprise environments.  It can simultaneously compress and encrypt data at rates several times faster than two 6 core/12 thread enterprise class x86 processors at a fraction of the power consumption."

Additionally, as more and more information moves to a digital format (i.e. medical records, online buying and associated habits), it is tagged and stored in databases. These databases are sizeable and the information highly confidential.  The Express DX 1845 card offers customers the highest-level of encryption and industry-standard, lossless compression features, which can significantly increase security while reducing costly primary storage capacity requirements and optimizing network bandwidth.

About Express DX 1845

The Express DX 1845 is a half-height, low power x8 PCI-Express 2 add-in card solution that provides up to 3.2 Gigabytes/second of encryption and/or compression throughput, consuming less than 14 Watts.  The unique, single-pass, hardware architecture allows simultaneous encryption, hashing, and compression of data in either packet or block form.  These operations, when done in software, need to be done serially, further increasing host CPU loading.  The host CPU load required to manage the DX 1845 in a dual socket x86 server is typically only 2 to 4%.

Data integrity and availability are critical concerns for the enterprise.  The DX 1845 card offers end-to-end data integrity to ensure any data path errors are identified and reported.  At a higher level, results from operations performed by the card are verified in real time without impacting performance - a capability that can reduce throughput of software-based approaches by 50% or more.  To ensure high availability, the Express DX 1845 enables failover to Exar's SDK software in the event of a system I/O hardware failure enabling functionality to be maintained until the system can be serviced.

The Express DX 1845 supports a range of protocols.  For encryption and authentication, offloads for a range of AES modes are supported with hardware offload for the National Security Agency's (NSA) Suite B algorithms including Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC).  The DX 1845 supports hardware-based lossless compression and decompression with LZS, eLZS, and GZIP protocols.  The Express DX 1845 SDK provides a full set of APIs to easily integrate these functions into both Linux and Windows software environments.  Support for OpenSSL and OpenSwan is also provided.  For more information, please visit Express DX 1845.

Availability

The DX 1845 card is sampling to customers now with production available later this month.  For inquires or evaluation requests please contact your local Exar sales representative or contact us online.

UniversalBusinessListing.org and Locationary Create Real-Time Business Profile Broadcast System for Publishers

New platform gives publishers free access to 22 million business profiles

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- UniversalBusinessListing.org (UBL) and Locationary today announced a strategic partnership to manage and distribute business profile data free to online and mobile directory publishers. The platform currently comprises 22 million enhanced business listings that publishers can access to power their online search services.

In addition to serving publishers' needs for rich business listings content in a uniform format, the partnership will enable businesses to provide more detailed and up-to-date information to potential customers who are searching online. This is important, because profile changes--such as a new address, contact information, hours of operation and product lists--can take 90 days or longer to propagate to the various online directory sites and mobile search apps.

"There is a clear need for a centralized place where a business can cut through the increasingly complex task of managing its online business identity across search engines, online Yellow Pages, mobile devices and social networks," said Doyal Bryant, UBL CEO. "Our partnership with Locationary allows businesses to quickly and easily update their business information, and at the same time, provides the enhanced and up-to-date data that is important to search engines and online directory publishers."

Grant Ritchie, CEO of Locationary, added, "We're excited to be working with the UBL team because they share our philosophy that it's unacceptable in the Internet age for businesses to have to wait months for their online information to propagate and update. Real-time updates will open the door to the distribution of product pricing and other information that changes quickly that previously wasn't feasible. With UBL, we can help businesses improve their online visibility, while helping online publishers reduce user frustration caused by outdated information."

Under the partnership agreement, UBL will provide a user dashboard for businesses to build and update their business profiles, while Locationary will provide the data access and distribution platform for publishers.

Altera Unveils Process Technology Strategy for Its 28-nm Product Portfolio

Altera Leveraging Both 28-nm High-Performance and 28-nm Low-Power Processes to Address Customer's Unique Cost, Performance and Power Requirements

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Altera Corporation (Nasdaq: ALTR) today announced its 28-nm process technology strategy targeting its 28-nm product portfolio. In addition to the previously announced support for TSMC's 28-nm High Performance (28HP) process technology for its high-end FPGA family, Altera will also utilize TSMC's 28-nm Low-Power (28LP) process technology for use in its low-cost and midrange product families. Leveraging two distinct process technologies in its 28-nm product portfolio enables Altera to provide customers a broad selection of optimized devices. Across high-end, midrange and low-cost products, Altera offers the optimal process technology to address customer needs.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101012/SF78952LOGO)

"In today's highly fragmented markets, it is imperative we provide customers with a device that best meets their design requirements without any compromises," said Vince Hu, vice president of product and corporate marketing at Altera. "Customers need the highest performance with the highest transceiver speeds at the high end, the lowest cost at the low end, balanced performance and cost at the midrange and low power consumption everywhere. With our 28-nm product portfolio Altera will deliver the broadest product offering we have provided at any previous process node in order to serve these market segments."

Altera's two-pronged 28-nm process technology strategy allows the company to effectively serve the broadest range of applications. The 28LP process enables Altera to bring costs and power down in its low-cost products to address cost- and power-sensitive applications in market segments that include automotive and industrial. The 28LP process also enables Altera to deliver an optimal balance of cost, performance and low power within its midrange product family.

The use of 28HP process technology at the high end is critical in delivering the core and transceiver performance required by high-end applications. The 28HP process enables Altera to dramatically increase the capabilities of its high-end FPGAs by incorporating greater levels of functionality, such as 28-Gbps transceivers that will drive the development of next-generation 100G/400G systems. FPGAs based on the 28HP process specifically target applications that require the highest levels of performance, including high-performance computing, military and wireline systems.

The wide variety of Altera® FPGAs leveraging the 28LP and 28HP process technologies enable Altera to address more ASIC and ASSP opportunities in both the high-end, midrange and low-cost markets. Variants of its 28-nm product family that include embedded processors enable the 28-nm FPGAs to displace more digital signal processors and microprocessors.

Availability

Engineering samples of Altera's 28-nm Stratix® V FPGAs will be available to customers starting in the first quarter of 2011. Customers can start their Stratix V FPGA designs now by using Altera's Quartus® II software. Additional 28-nm FPGA families will be announced in 2011.

Lockerz Debuts First Original Web Series

"Kill Spin" is a Darkly Funny Look at Life in a Ping Pong Hall and the Dramas that Ensue

SEATTLE, Dec. 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockerz, a social commerce company with more than 17.5 million members worldwide, today announced the debut of its first original content series.  "Kill Spin" features an eclectic cast of modern misfits who spend their time playing Ping Pong in a sketchy alley ping pong hall.  The first of 10 episodes is available in Lockerz PLAY beginning today.  Subsequent episodes will post to the Web site every Sunday and Thursday.  Lockerz' second original series, "The Homes," starring Chelsea Staub ("JONAS") and directed by John Cabrera ("Gilmore Girls"), airs this January.

"Creating and delivering original content is part of Lockerz' vision to be the homepage of Generation Z," said Kathy Savitt, founder and chief executive officer of Lockerz.  "We know that the Web is a primary source of entertainment for our customers, and only Lockerz members earn discounts for shopping as a reward for watching."

Lockerz is the only place online where customers can connect with friends, shop and watch videos, all while earning PTZ for discounts on anything sold in Lockerz Boutiques.  In honor of ping pong fans everywhere, Lockerz has created a special Kill Spin boutique offering limited edition t-shirts and Joola ping pong equipment.

"Kill Spin" was created, written and directed by award-winning television and film director Ryan Wise.  The series was produced by Big Fantastic, which Wise cofounded in 2006. At Big Fantastic, he co-created the Emmy-nominated Web series, "Prom Queen," among other successful projects.

Savitt continued, "Kill Spin is authentic, gritty and highly entertaining--the ideal series to kick off Lockerz original content repertoire.  Ryan Wise brings a unique perspective, memorable characters and a strong aptitude for storytelling that our customers will love."

"Most people don't even know that ping pong halls exist.  I thought it would be interesting to set a show in one and fill it with intriguing quirky characters who don't fit in with the rest of society.  Kill Spin is like the bar Cheers where everybody knows your game," said Ryan Wise, co-founder, Big Fantastic.  "We are excited that Kill Spin will reach an audience of millions of young people worldwide through Lockerz."

The cast of "Kill Spin" features experienced and emerging actors including:

    --  Bil Dwyer (Leon: A washed up former table tennis champ.)
    --  Rya Meyers (Melissa: The only ping pong outsider; she's on a mission
        from Brooklyn to find her father.)
    --  Matt Cook (Harley: Kill Spin's ace ping pong coach, and wanna-be ladies
        man.)
    --  Caroline Duncan (Stephanie: Ex-model, current manager of Kill Spin.)
    --  Bill Oberst, Jr. (Heinz: Leon's arch rival, less talented, more
        successful, and a big jerk.)

About Lockerz

Based in Seattle, Lockerz was founded by former technology and retail executive Kathy Savitt. Lockerz' mission is to be the homepage for men and women ages 13 to 30, building a community of trendsetters and tastemakers who love to shop, play and connect on the Web.

Trilogy's Voila and UNIBANK, Announce Commercial Launch of Haiti's First Mobile Money Service

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF HAITIANS STAND TO BENEFIT IMMEDIATELY FROM THE LATEST IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, Dec. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Haitian wireless operator Voila, a subsidiary of Seattle-based Trilogy International Partners, and UNIBANK, Haiti's premier bank, have launched T-Cash, Haiti's first mobile money solution. A groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind service in Haiti, hundreds of thousands of the country's 'unbanked' population and Haitians in regions unreached by traditional financial service providers will now have access to a full suite of banking and m-commerce services through their Voila mobile phone. By leveraging UNIBANK's nationwide network of merchants and tapping into Voila's base of over 1 million subscribers, this partnership creates a valuable financial ecosystem with the potential to impact millions of Haitians throughout the country. In partnership with applications service provider MoreMagic, Voila and UNIBANK have delivered their mobile payment solutions in a secure, hosted, and fully managed environment.

"We're very excited to bring the latest in mobile technology to Haiti where the acute needs of the Haitian people require fast action and mobility," said Brad Horwitz, President& CEO of Trilogy International Partners. "Voila has been operating in Haiti for over a decade, and is well positioned to bring and expand its mobile money service to the entire Haitian population safely, securely and efficiently."

Whereas there are very few bank branches per capita; over 85% of Haitian households have access to a mobile phone. With T-Cash, Voila subscribers throughout Haiti now have the ability to complete domestic peer-to-peer money transfers, bill pay, payroll services, and expanded mobile commerce capabilities. An initial and unique feature of the T-Cash service will be a 'mini wallet.' The mini wallet allows Voila subscribers to immediately activate the T-Cash service and store up to 2500HTG ($62.50 USD) by entering *700# on their Voila mobile phone. This easy to use, mini wallet feature will allow for rapid, widespread adoption and access nationwide. Voila and UNIBANK are gearing up to establish over a thousand affiliated merchants and cash in/cash out locations throughout the country by January, 2011. 

"UNIBANK is proud to participate with its technological partner, Voila, in the launch of the first electronic wallet service in Haiti," said F. Carl Braun, Chairman of UNIBANK. "In doing so, UNIBANK perpetuates its tradition of technological leadership in the financial sector. The T-Cashservice will be critical for the extension of banking services beyond traditional branches and the inclusion of the non-banked population particularly in rural areas. With the electronic wallet, financial services will be instantly available throughout the country," Braun said.

The wide-scale commercial launch of T-Cash comes after an extensive nine month pilot program with global relief and development agency Mercy Corps. Mercy Corps' pioneering efforts to use T-Cash in their humanitarian cash programs opened the door for Haiti's rural poor and micro-businesses to gain access to financial services.The program provided an opportunity to test the new service, gauge user reactions, and incorporate feedback into training procedures and future service offerings. Customers' response to T-Cash has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic, showing that Haitians are ready to embrace mobile money as a safe and reliable option to meet their transactional needs. 

"It's not the first time that I've had a phone, but this time it is different," said Pierre Louis Jacques, a 43 year old Haitian father who participated in one of the pilot programs. "I wait for my payment eagerly and without worry. With my money, I'm going to buy food and pay for school for my children.  I like this way of paying - the process is easy to learn and there's less risk involved," said Jacques.

Voila has already been instrumental in providing local and international communications service to over one million Haitian customers, thousands of relief workers, a variety of international NGOs, and U.S. government agencies working in Haiti. Since the earthquake struck, wireless has been at the center of first responders' efforts to identify and rescue survivors, spread critical information on vaccinations and food distributions, and provide health services.

UNIBANK has been actively involved in providing critical payment solutions for numerous NGOs enabling them to stimulate the economy through job creation programs, and provide lifelines to hundreds of thousands left destitute by the earthquake. The bank's ability to open its doors to the public shortly after the events of January 12th was key to maintaining confidence in the banking system and provided the peace of mind its many clients needed to start the rebuilding process.

The T-Cash platform is available to relief organizations, NGOs and government agencies throughout the country. Any organization interested in deploying mobile money solutions in Haiti can send inquiries directly to tcash@Voila.ht or marketing@unibankhaiti.com.

Voila and UNIBANK will hold a press conference at 10:30 AM on Monday, December 6, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where attendees can see live demonstrations of the technology in action and learn how mobile money services are contributing to the reconstruction of Haiti and revolutionizing the country's banking services. To RSVP, please contact Emmanuel Jean-Francois at ejeanfrancois@Voila.ht.

mGive to Power American Red Cross $25 Mobile Donation Campaign

The American Red Cross launches $25 mobile donation holiday 'GIFT' campaign powered by mGive

DENVER, Dec. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- mGive, (http://www.mGive.com), the leading service provider for mobile donations in the United States, today announced that it is powering the $25 text donation campaign launched by The American Red Cross. This new mobile donation campaign, which will run through December 31, 2010, enables individuals to make a $25 mobile donation to the American Red Cross by texting GIFT to 90999.

"We are honored to have been selected by the American Red Cross to provide the technology powering this industry-changing campaign," said Brian Leamy, Executive Vice President of mGive. "Through our partnership with The mGive Foundation and our innovative charitable partners selected to participate in this trial, we seek to expand the mobile donation industry by making larger mobile donation possible."

Donations received through texting GIFT to 90999 through the end of the year will support the work of the American Red Cross, such as responding to a disaster, collecting lifesaving blood, teaching skills that can save a life, or assisting military members and their families. The new holiday text donation program builds on the record-shattering text donation effort following the Haiti earthquake, which raised nearly $33 million for Haiti relief and recovery based on $10 text donations.

The campaign stems from the recently announced $25 mobile donation trial being conducted with most major domestic mobile carriers that was initiated by mGive's 501(c)(3) partner, The mGive Foundation. The mobile donation trial campaign raises the maximum mobile donation amount from its current $10 level to $25, the first campaign of its kind in the mobile donation industry. Currently, donors can give $5 or $10 donations to charities of their choice that utilize mobile donation campaigns. The America Red Cross was one of two organizations selected to participate in the trial, designed to evaluate the validity, effectiveness, and donor response to a $25 donation level.

About mGive

mGive is changing the way people give. Established in 2005, mGive created the United States mobile donation market by introducing the first mobile donation platform tailored to nonprofit organizations. Today, more than 85 percent of domestic mobile donations are powered by mGive, which serves more than 500 leading nonprofit organizations and has launched over 7,000 mobile campaigns. The mGive platform offers scalable, enterprise-level solutions using text messaging for donor engagement and fundraising.

Cellit Brings Mobile Coupon Redemption to Android

Cellit Releases Cellit Widgit for Android

CHICAGO, Dec. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Cellit LLC, a leading provider of mobile marketing and mobile couponing solutions, announced today the release of their Widgit mobile coupon redemption technology for the Google Android platform.  This new Widgit enables retailers and QSR brands the ability to redeem and track mobile coupons in real-time directly through their Android based devices, without any integration with their POS system.  Cellit adds the Widgit for Android to their portfolio of mobile coupon redemption tools, including the Windows-based Widgit and the iWidgit for iOS.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100820/CELLITLOGO)

"Delivering a mobile coupon code (or bar code) is just the first step in building a mobile couponing ecosystem," said David Wachs, President of Cellit.  "As a leader in mobile marketing and couponing, we have been issuing unique mobile coupon codes for years.  The real hurdle has always been validation and redemption.  Cellit provides multiple ways to handle this, from our open APIs to our Widgit for Windows-based POS systems.  Now, we are excited to release the Widgit for Android devices.  This small app allows the simple validation and redemption of mobile coupons from any Android device, making the program perfect for roving ticket takers or a mobile sales team.  Furthermore, companies with antiquated POS systems, incapable of integrating with our API can now simply keep an Android tablet next to the register.  This provides a cost effective, easy to implement solution."

The Widgit for Android also includes Cellit's mobile loyalty features, enabling the easy debiting of loyalty points for transactions directly to the customer's account. 

"We see mobile loyalty as having tremendous potential.  In this day and age when the cell phone is replacing the credit card, there is no reason why the cell phone cannot also replace the loyalty card.  The loyalty functions of the Widgit reduce fraud while removing the requirement for all patrons to carry a loyalty card.  Now, their cell phone number becomes their loyalty number.  Furthermore, as all loyalty members must sign up to the mobile program, they will opt in for additional messaging, creating a positive feedback loop.  It's incredibly easy to implement."

The new Widgit release is immediately available for free in the Android Market.  The iWidgit for iPhone and iPad is already available in the Apple App Store.  Cellit also provides custom integration for proprietary POS platforms, including Micros, Agilysys, Aloha and more.
