New breed of smartphone powered by the Android(TM) 2.1 platform features 4-inch Super AMOLED touch screen, 1GHz application processor and innovative entertainment and social networking features

DALLAS, June 17 -- AT&T* and Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile), the No. 1 mobile phone provider in the U.S.**, today announced the upcoming availability of the Samsung Captivate(TM), a Galaxy S(TM) smartphone. The Android(TM) 2.1-powered Samsung Captivate will bring users a fully integrated entertainment, messaging and social networking experience packaged in an alluring, streamlined design surrounding a stunning 4-inch display.

The Captivate's powerful set of Web-based features is maximized with the addition of AT&T's High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) 7.2 Mbps technology, which provides a considerable speed boost to the nation's fastest 3G network when paired with expanded backhaul.  Speed plus AT&T's dedicated focus to mobilize everything - including video content, social networking, music and messaging - is reflected in Captivate's strong feature set.

The Captivate represents a new breed of smartphones powered by the open and innovative Android platform, with full support of Google Mobile Services including Android Market(TM), Google Search(TM), Google Maps(TM), Gmail(TM), YouTube(TM), Google Talk(TM) and more. Users can also access the Android Market(TM) and customize their experience with more than 60,000 exciting and useful applications. The Captivate also features Samsung's Super AMOLED display screen technology, a 1 GHz Samsung Hummingbird Application Processor and Samsung Social Hub, a feature that integrates the user's social networking services, messages, personal and business email, calendars and contacts.

"Add up Captivate's amazing screen, huge amounts of onboard storage, a super-fast processor, all fueled by the nation's fastest 3G network and a nationwide  Wi-Fi network and you get a smartphone we know our customers will crave," said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president, Devices, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets.

"With the launch of the Captivate, AT&T customers will experience a groundbreaking handset with world class features that are unique to Samsung's Galaxy S class of devices, including Samsung's Super AMOLED screen technology and 1GHz Hummingbird Application Processor," said Omar Khan, chief strategy officer for Samsung Mobile. "The Captivate represents a new breed of smartphone that will truly change and enrich the way consumers interact with their device on an everyday basis."

Leading Hardware Features

The Captivate provides a premium viewing experience on its large, brilliant 4-inch display powered by Samsung's Super AMOLED touch screen technology. Super AMOLED technology yields thinner displays, delivering one of the thinnest, most responsive full-featured smartphones in the industry. Samsung's innovative display technology makes watching movies, viewing videos and playing games come to life like never before, even in bright light and outdoor environments.

In addition, the Samsung Captivate is designed with a six-axis sensor  that combines the smartphone's accelerometer and gyroscope to provide a smooth, fluid gaming experience when the user is tilting the device up or down or panning the phone to the left or right. The Captivate's user interface also supports a series of advanced touch screen gestures capabilities including multi-touch pinch, long tap and zoom and vertical and horizontal swiping. This series of versatile gestures provide easier and quicker access to many applications including location-based services, Web browsing and digital photos.

Powering the Captivate is a 1 GHz Samsung Hummingbird Application Processor, which produces amazing 3-D graphics, faster upload and download times and full richness of HD-like multimedia content. The Captivate is also outfitted with 3D sound capabilities, giving the user surround-sound stereo quality, when listening on hard-wired headphones.

Features for All Users

The Captivate keeps users connected with Samsung's Social Hub, which is built around Messaging and Contacts, both of which initiate the sending and receiving of information, whether it is e-mail, instant messaging, social network updates or SMS messages. Additionally, calendar information from portal calendars, such as Google Calendar(TM), and social networking services are displayed together in one calendar with two-way synchronization. The familiar text messaging experience is enhanced with group messaging and "reply all" functionality for up to 10 contacts, a threaded conversations format, a consolidated inbox, and enhanced multi-media display.

In addition, AT&T customers who choose Captivate can take advantage of AT&T Address Book.  A Web-based service, AT&T Address Book syncs contacts to an online address book so customers can access and manage their mobile contacts from their handset - or their PC. Also available to users at no additional charge is access to AT&T's entire national Wi-Fi network -- any Captivate with the Wi-Fi turned on will automatically connect when in range.

Not just for social networking and messaging, the Captivate truly brings your home and office computer to the palm of your hand with support for push email and integrated calendar services, including Google(TM) and Yahoo for consumers and small businesses and ActiveSync for enterprise users. Messaging is simple and easy with the Captivate's virtual QWERTY keyboard with Swype technology, which allows users to input text faster and in a more intuitive way with one continuous finger motion across the screen keyboard.

True Mobile Entertainment

In addition, the Captivate features best-in-class entertainment features, including future access to Samsung Media Hub, a full library of video and literary content powered by some of the biggest names in entertainment. Samsung Mobile looks forward to sharing additional information about Media Hub in the near future and the Captivate will feature a pre-loaded app that can take users to download Media Hub in the future.  The Captivate features Samsung's All Share application, which enables inter-device connectivity through DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) technology, allowing users to send user-generated video content wirelessly to other DLNA-enabled devices, such as TV's, monitors and laptops, allowing for a rich, interactive entertainment experience.

The Captivate is packed full of features that enhance users' daily life, including a 5.0-megapixel camera/ camcorder with auto-focus and HD video recording (720p)***, MP3 player, 3.5-millimeter headphone jack and expandable memory for photos, videos and music, up to 16 GB.  This combined with an on-board 16 GB of storage allows for up to 32 GB of capacity for music and video.

The Captivate also includes AT&T Navigator, which offers voice-guided and visual turn-by-turn GPS driving directions with automatic reroute, full-color maps, and real-time traffic alerts and AT&T Family Map, which gives families the ability to track a child's location from a PC or cell phone and request location updates at any time.

Additional key specifications of the Captivate include Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), full HTML browser with tap & hold zoom), Bluetooth®  3.0 technology. The Captivate also includes tri-band 3G connectivity and quad-band GSM technology, which allows AT&T customers to make calls in more than 220 countries and download data in more than 195.

Motorola Drives '802.16e Enhanced' Features Into WiMAX Roadmap

Industry Leader to Leverage ArrayComm's Advanced Multi-antenna Signal Processing

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill., June 17 -- The Networks business of Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) today announced its plan to support "802.16e Enhanced" features in its WiMAX product roadmap, working with ArrayComm to implement advanced baseband technology. This strategy supports an initiative launched by WiMAX industry leaders to accelerate advanced features that increase performance and capacity.

"As many WiMAX operators shift their network focus from initial deployments and coverage to optimization and capacity, there is an increased need for spectral efficiency and that's what 802.16e Enhanced and our integration of ArrayComm technology offers," said Fred Gabbard, vice president of Product Management, Motorola Networks.  "WiMAX and OFDM technology are well-suited to address a diverse set of application demands. Advanced performance enhancements - such as beamforming and interference cancellation - allow operators to increase the number of users, data volume and peak rate supported by a given amount of radio spectrum.  With these improvements, an operator can add more users and provide a better experience, making a compelling business case even more attractive."

In support of accelerating its 802.16e Enhanced product offering, Motorola is integrating the advanced Multi-Antenna Signal processing technology (A-MAS(TM)) from ArrayComm LLC into Motorola's wireless broadband radio solutions.  "Motorola is the leader in 4G systems deployed globally," said Bruce Duysen, President of ArrayComm.  "The combination of their best-in-class radio platforms and ArrayComm's A-MAS delivers superior system economics to operators and best performance to end users."

Motorola is driving its WiMAX roadmap with 802.16e Enhanced feature capabilities and benefits, including functionalities aimed at increasing coverage, reducing interference, improving single-user throughput, as well as enabling a reuse of one for WiMAX. The WiMAX Forum estimates these new features have the potential to double peak data rates and increase average and cell edge end-user performance by up to 70 percent while still remaining compliant with the 802.16e standard.

The deployment of 802.16e Enhanced will be a simple software upgrade to Motorola's latest WiMAX solution and consistent with future network migrations. Ultimately, 802.16e Enhanced will help operators meet consumers' demand for constant connectivity and richer personal media experiences.

About ArrayComm

DYMO(TM) Endicia® First to Offer Postal Service(TM)-Approved Feature for Efficient Shipping to U.S. Military

- Electronic round date stamp reduces Post Office(TM) trips for APO/FPO packages - Soldiers' Angels charity instantly experiences fivefold increase in productivity

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 10 -- Businesses and charitable organizations that ship to U.S. military addresses can serve those recipients much more efficiently, thanks to a new U.S. Postal Service® - authorized Internet postage feature available to DYMO(TM) Endicia® customers.

Beginning this month, users of DYMO Endicia Premium or higher service levels can electronically generate a combined shipping, postage and customs declaration label bearing the required electronic round date stamp needed for shipments to Army Post Office / Fleet Post Office / Diplomatic Post Office (APO / FPO / DPO) addresses, U.S. territories and freely associated states. As a result, these packages no longer need to be taken to the Post Office(TM) for round date stamp processing. Instead, a postal carrier can pick them up, thereby providing considerable time savings for companies shipping to military addresses.

"Electronic round date stamp processing is a great time-saver for shippers. But even more importantly, it ensures that U.S. military personnel will receive supplies, materials and care packages faster than ever," said Harry Whitehouse, chief development officer, DYMO Endicia. "We are honored that DYMO Endicia is the first Internet postage provider to offer this important and beneficial service."

Soldiers' Angels, a volunteer-led non-profit organization that provides aid and comfort to members of the U.S. military and their families, was a beta user of this new feature with DYMO Endicia service. One of the organization's main support efforts involves sending on a weekly basis a heavy volume of care packages of donated supplies to service members around the world.

Prior to using DYMO Endicia, their heavy volume of shipping to APO / FPO addresses meant countless customs forms and paperwork to complete by hand -- and no organized, in-house shipping system to complete their mission. Soldiers' Angels needed a solution that would allow the organization to facilitate shipping directly from its warehouse.

Upon implementation of DYMO Endicia, Soldiers' Angels leveraged the ability to electronically "sign" and complete integrated Customs forms, along with the new electronic round date stamp feature to save a significant amount of time.  The organization immediately increased care package shipments from its San Antonio warehouse more than fivefold, dispatching nearly 1,000 packages a day.

"Now that we can ship directly from the warehouse, our productivity has really increased," said Eric Rice, warehouse manager, Soldiers' Angels. "For an organization that relies on volunteers, we strive to be efficient. And DYMO Endicia is helping us accomplish our mission."

An approved vendor of the U.S. Postal Service®, DYMO Endicia provides trusted, convenient and affordable online shipping and mailing solutions. DYMO Endicia is the leader in Internet Postage with more than $5 billion in postage printed and more than 25 years of industry experience. For more information on DYMO Endicia products and services, visit http://www.endicia.com. Follow DYMO Endicia on Twitter @endicia.

Mail addressed to military personnel overseas is subject to certain restrictions of mailing regarding content, preparation and handling.  See usps.com for more details.

Industry-Leading Internet Security Book for Kids, Teens, Adults Available Now as Free Download

Own Your Space® teams with Teens, Experts, Corporate Sponsors for Kids' Online Safety

SAN FRANCISCO, June 17 -- As unstructured summertime looms, kids and teens across the nation are likely to be spending more time on the Internet and texting.

Now, a free download is available to help them keep themselves safer both online and while using a cell phone.

Own Your Space®, the industry-leading Internet security book for youth, parents, and adults, was first written by Linda McCarthy, a 20-year network and Internet-security expert.

This all-new free edition -- by McCarthy, security pros, and dedicated teenagers -- teaches youths and even their parents how to keep themselves "and their stuff" safer online.

A collaboration between network-security experts, teenagers, and artists, the flexible licensing of Creative Commons, and industry-leading corporate sponsors, together have made it possible for everyone on the Internet to access Own Your Space for free via myspace.com/ownyourspace, facebook.com/ownyourspace.net, and http://www.ownyourspace.net.

"With the rise of high-technology communications within the teen population, this is the obvious solution to an increasingly ubiquitous problem: how to deliver solid, easy-to-understand Internet security information into their hands? By putting it on the Internet and their hard drives, for free," said Linda McCarthy, former Senior Director of Internet Safety at Symantec.

Besides the contributors' own industry experience, Own Your Space also boasts the "street cred" important to the book's target audience; this new edition has been overseen by a cadre of teens who range in age from 13 to 17.

"In this age of unsafe-Internet and risky-texting practices that have led to the deaths and the jailing of minors, I'm thankful for everyone who works toward and sponsors our advocacy to keep more youth safe while online and on cell phones," McCarthy said.

Everyone interested in downloading Own Your Space® for free can visit myspace.com/ownyourspace, facebook.com/ownyourspace.net, and http://www.ownyourspace.net. Corporations who would like to increase the availability of the book and promote child safety online through their hardware and Web properties can contact Linda McCarthy at lmccarthy@ownyourspace.net.

McCarthy is releasing the book in June to celebrate Internet Safety Month.

ITC Global Security and Quaresso Join Forces to Offer World-First Armoured Web Browser Managed Service

Helping global enterprises minimise threats through secure end-point web browsing

LONDON, June 17 -- ITC Global Security, a leading information security and secure networking firm, today announce a global partnership with Quaresso, a leading provider of web browser security solutions. Delivering content to an end-point you do not control is a primary threat as browsers used for online transactions are at risk of account and data theft, and session hijacks. ITC will provide enterprises with website defence against these threats with the world's first managed service using Quaresso's Protect On Q on-the-fly browser security solution.

Protect On Q goes beyond traditional defences to protect the integrity and privacy of browser sessions, and safeguards content from malware or user derived compromises. It prevents malicious attacks via the Internet, including key logging and screen scraping by delivering a temporary, armoured browser to users. This is particularly valuable for sites handling personal information, such as Internet banking, healthcare, enterprise webmail or other highly-sensitive content. It is downloaded transparently and removed after the session is terminated. As a result companies can provide seamless, automatic security with outstanding data protection for web-based applications.

Mark Elliott, CEO, Quaresso noted: "We identified ITC as an ideal global partner because they are very experienced at improving visibility and control over large global estates, have in-depth security knowledge, a high-profile global customer base, and can uniquely deliver a fully managed security service. Partnering with ITC will deliver a win-win outcome for everyone."

Tom Millar, Managing Director, ITC Global Security comments: "ITC's agility allows us to introduce 'best-of-breed' services easily and Quaresso is a key addition to our portfolio, and complements our other services. It enables ITC to offer client security for customers providing cloud-based services, particularly in the finance sector where securing the user's browser is critical; Protect On Q helps achieve this."

Fast Access to Corporate Data via IP Phone

ANDTEK's Solutions Allow Easy Handling via Touchpad

MUNICH and HALLBERGMOOS, Germany, June 17, 2010--     Users of the new generation of Cisco IP phones have now the possibility
to access corporate data via their phone very easily. Unified Communications
expert ANDTEK GmbH developed adequate intelligent features.

    The IP phones can be controlled directly and conveniently via web
browser. By means of the ANDTEK solution it is now possible to integrate
complete corporate directories and databases into the IP telephony
environment of the new Cisco devices.

    This offers for example advantages for production staff members who do
not have a computer at their disposal and who urgently need detailed
information. Marketing employees can search in the corporate directory or can
access call lists while talking with somebody on the phone without needing a
computer. Thanks to the predictive search feature names or search terms can
be found within seconds by entering one or two characters and the requested
contact will be shown on the display.

    One more advantage concerning the display: The handling of the
applications being integrated in the new IP phones is very simple, operation
is done via touchpad.

    By means of the ANDTEK solution the user can access a large variety of
corporate information at any time. The unified communications solution
integrates existing databases (Oracle, SQL, etc.), LDAP directories, active
directories and csv files from the corporate network into the telephony
network without any problems. For this the "AND Phone Application Server" has
access to the databases via the corporate network and displays the databases
on the telephony network.

IEEE Xplore® Mobile Comes Out of Beta, Launches New Features

Provides search of two million+ technical documents with a Web-enabled mobile device

PISCATAWAY, N.J., June 17 -- IEEE, the world's largest technical professional association for the advancement of technology, today announced the launch of IEEE Xplore Mobile, which incorporates enhancements based on user feedback collected from a beta test  that began last June. IEEE Xplore Mobile (m.ieeexplore.ieee.org) gives users the ability to conveniently perform searches of over two million technical documents with any mobile device connected to the Internet.

The following IEEE Xplore Mobile features represent upgrades from the initial beta version. Users can now conduct a basic search from the IEEE Xplore Mobile home page, then refine it by searching within the results or by using subject filters. A predictive type-ahead feature, that suggests searches as you type, is available for mobile devices that are JavaScript-enabled. All results you would find on the classic IEEE Xplore for abstracts and citations are displayed ten at a time by relevancy. Users can then decide to read or e-mail the abstracts to a remote computer.

Users with the proper subscription can view the full-text of an article by e-mailing the link to any e-mail address, then viewing the article directly from the main IEEE Xplore Web site when they are on their personal computer. Non-subscribers can purchase the articles or subscribe to the IEEE Xplore digital library.

Some users at subscribing institutions will be able to access full-text PDF documents using a Wi-Fi-enabled mobile device. Sign in to the Wi-Fi at any institution with an active IP authenticated subscription and receive full-text access, based on the subscription terms.

"IEEE Xplore users make more than seven million downloads a month," said Anthony Durniak, IEEE Publications Staff Director.  "We realized that remote access to those searches would be a huge convenience factor.  The mobile application also provides us with the opportunity to answer our users' questions wherever they may be."

Residents of Tuscany Apartments in Sarasota, Fla., Will Enjoy Big Savings on Verizon's FiOS TV and Get Added Amenities With Verizon's Virtual Concierge

SARASOTA, Fla., June 17 -- Residents of the 386-unit Tuscany Apartments complex in Sarasota will soon receive FiOS TV service over Verizon's all-fiber-optic network, following the completion of a bulk services agreement with Verizon.

Under the agreement, Tuscany residents will get FiOS TV service at a significant discount off retail prices.  Residents can easily add FiOS Internet service to the TV offer at a bundled discounted rate.

Verizon, promoting a digital lifestyle, will also implement a virtual property management service called Verizon Concierge for the complex's residents and staff. The offering, to be provided free of charge, organizes all of the complex's available concierge amenities under one master platform and interface that automates many repetitive tasks, such as delivery and visitor management, allowing Tuscany's staff to focus on providing a more personalized service to residents.

A customized platform will soon be developed, specifically based on Tuscany's amenities and the surrounding services. Verizon Concierge can be accessed via the property's customized Web page or via a smartphone, after downloading an application -- and soon on FiOS TV.  The service will allow residents and staff to communicate with each other to set up carpools or clubs; have quick and easy access to schedule property amenities; set up services from local businesses such as dry cleaners and taxis; and make reservations at a local restaurant or place a takeout order.

Verizon Concierge can even store the user's favorite takeout orders and payment information so reordering is as easy as one click via any Web browser or on a smartphone application.  Verizon began offering the service in March to residential and commercial properties that have FiOS services, or soon will have them.

"Today, the ability to view crystal-clear TV pictures, surf on super-fast Internet connections or plan and manage your daily life can all be controlled in the palm of your hand or at least on your laptop," said Eric Cevis, vice president of Verizon Enhanced Communities, which markets and sells communications and entertainment services to single- and multiple-home communities, and small and medium commercial sites.

"The residents and staff at Tuscany will quickly discover that the advanced home-entertainment services delivered over the FiOS network cannot be matched by plain old cable.  Add in the all-encompassing services provided with Verizon Concierge and now, Tuscany Apartments becomes the digital place to live and work in Sarasota," Cevis said.

Verizon's all-fiber FiOS services of voice, broadband and television have been rated No. 1 in overall customer satisfaction three years in a row by PC Magazine.  In every major study that has compared FiOS TV and Internet with the offerings of the major cable companies, FiOS has ranked higher overall.

For residents and tenants, Verizon Concierge provides services like those in a five-star hotel, streamlining many tasks and making their execution digital, which increases efficiency and saves time.

For property owners and managers, Verizon Concierge can easily track work orders, and the system prompts for updates until the work is completed.  It can also be an invaluable service during an emergency, enabling a property manager to instantly send a voice call to the building's occupants - on up to five phone numbers per occupant, simultaneously, an option not matched with other property management systems.

Residential and commercial property owners and developers interested in bringing Verizon's FiOS services to their properties can call 1-866-638-6066, e-mail FiOSNow-VEC@verizon.com or visit http://www.verizon.com/communities for more information.

New Internet Fraud Alert to Help Rescue Stolen Account Credentials

Microsoft technology powers early reporting system to help protect consumers and businesses from fraud.

WASHINGTON, June 17 -- Microsoft Corp. has joined forces with the National Cyber-Forensics and Training Alliance (NCFTA), with the support of Accuity, the American Bankers Association, Anti-Phishing Working Group, Citizens Bank, eBay Inc., Federal Trade Commission, National Consumers League and PayPal, to release a new program that will help mitigate potential losses due to online fraud and account compromise. Launched today, Internet Fraud Alert will offer a trusted and effective mechanism for participating researchers to report stolen account credentials discovered online -- such as username and password login information for online services or compromised credit card numbers -- to the appropriate institution responsible for that account. Through a centralized alerting system powered by Microsoft technology developed specifically for this program, Internet Fraud Alert will quickly inform companies about compromised credentials, allowing them to take the appropriate action to help protect their customers.

The program was unveiled today and will go into effect immediately. The first of its kind, Internet Fraud Alert represents an important step forward in fighting online fraud. It will serve the much-needed purpose of enabling security researchers and investigators to more securely and systematically share information with service providers, retailers, financial institutions and government entities about incidents where compromised account credentials have been discovered. To date, when the security community uncovers compromised credentials stemming from phishing attacks, for example, there has been no simple mechanism to warn the service provider or bank about the exposed credentials.

Phishing and malicious code attacks pose a serious threat to consumer identity and account credentials. In 2009, the Anti-Phishing Working Group received more than 410,000 unique phishing e-mail reports, and recent data from the group show that the number of brands being exploited by phishers is at an all-time high.

Internet Fraud Alert will bring together a wide assortment of stakeholders, including retailers, financial institutions, service providers, technology companies, academic researchers, consumer advocates and government agencies, in the shared interest of reducing online fraud and protecting consumers. As the technology creator and sponsor, Microsoft is donating the tool to the NCFTA, a nonprofit organization dedicated to facilitating public-private partnerships between industry, law enforcement and academia on cybersecurity issues. Accuity, a leading provider of global payment routing data, has donated a solution to assist NCFTA with the vetting of trusted institutions for participation in the program to help ensure the integrity of the alerting process.

   in this direction. By enabling easier coordination between enforcement

Chrysler Group LLC Is First Automotive Company to Introduce Vehicle-information Apps

Free New Feature First Available on All-new 2011 Jeep® Grand Cherokee

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., June 17 -- Last year, Chrysler Group was the first automotive company to replace traditional, bulky owner manuals with DVDs and user guides. This year, the company is introducing the industry's first smartphone vehicle-information application. Information that used to be stuffed into the glove box will now be at your fingertips.

In addition to general vehicle information including vehicle operation, maintenance and warranty, this new app offers product-feature video demonstrations, connections with fellow owners via the company's brands on social media sites, and access to customer care and 24-hour road-side assistance.

"With our vehicle-information app, we are taking customer care to a new level by creating a convenient, on-demand channel of communication with our customers," said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar®, Chrysler Group LLC. "Creating this new channel of communication will enhance the customer experience. And it's a great example of how we can add value to our vehicles and build brand identity. This new app will also be a source for potential customers to learn about our vehicles."

The vehicle-information app for the all-new 2011 Jeep® Grand Cherokee will be available for download on to personal smartphones.  The vehicle-information app, developed by Michigan-based Tweddle Group, is designed to support vehicles in the U.S. market.  The app will first be available for iPhone® and later for BlackBerry® and Android(TM) devices on major mobile carriers.

The application, which is free to the consumer, will eventually phase into future Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep and Ram Truck vehicles in the U.S. by the end of this year.

"Tweddle is pleased to extend our long-time relationship with Chrysler Group by enhancing the consumer relationship with their vehicles through mobile applications," said Andrew Tweddle, Tweddle Group President and CEO. "This app will provide Chrysler Group's customers with a dynamic tool that will enable them to get the most out of the features and capabilities offered in their new vehicles."

App Features

New Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep and Ram Truck smartphone vehicle-information apps will complement existing user guides and DVDs that are currently provided with each vehicle. Each vehicle-information app will allow the consumer to browse functional categories and view detailed topics of interest relative to their specific vehicle.

Key feature categories include product information, vehicle operating instructions, vehicle maintenance schedules, service contract details, warning lights and controls, warranty information and customer assistance. Other features and benefits include links to Mopar parts and accessories, product brand gear and merchandise and social media sites. The app will also contain high-resolution product information images and videos.

Mopar-First Features

In addition to vehicle-information apps, Mopar has introduced numerous industry-first features including:

  --  Electronic owner manuals: first to offer traditional owner manuals in
      a DVD and brief user-guide format
  --  FLO TV: first to offer live, mobile television
  --  Wifi: first to offer customers the ability to make their vehicle a
      wireless hot spot
  --  wiTECH: first to support vehicle diagnosis and software updates
      leveraging off-the-shelf personal computers and a dedicated wireless
      tool network

  About Chrysler Group LLC

Chrysler Group LLC, formed in 2009 from a global strategic alliance with Fiat Group, produces Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram Truck, Mopar and Global Electric Motorcars (GEM) brand vehicles and products. With the resources, technology and worldwide distribution network required to compete on a global scale, the alliance builds on Chrysler's culture of innovation - first established by Walter P. Chrysler in 1925 - and Fiat's complementary technology, from a company whose heritage dates back to 1899.

Headquartered in Auburn Hills, Mich., Chrysler Group LLC's product lineup features some of the world's most recognizable vehicles, including Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, Jeep Wrangler and Ram 1500. Fiat will contribute world-class technology, platforms and powertrains for small- and medium-sized cars, allowing Chrysler Group to offer an expanded product line including environmentally friendly vehicles.

  About Mopar

  Mopar is Chrysler Group LLC's service, parts and customer-care brand.

Mopar distributes approximately 280,000 parts and accessories in more than 90 countries and is the source for all original-equipment parts for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram Truck vehicles. Mopar parts are unique in that they are engineered with the same teams that create factory-authorized vehicle specifications for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram Truck vehicles, a direct connection that no other aftermarket parts company can provide.

When Chrysler bought Dodge in 1928, the need for a dedicated parts manufacturer, supplier and distribution system to support the growing enterprise led to the formation of the Chrysler Motor Parts Corporation (CMPC) in 1929.

Mopar (a simple contraction of the words Motor and PARts) was trademarked for a line of antifreeze products in 1937. It also was widely used as a moniker for the CMPC. The Mopar brand made its mark in the 1960s - the muscle-car era. The former Chrysler Corporation built race-ready Dodge and Plymouth "package cars" equipped with special high-performance parts. Mopar carried a line of "special parts" for super stock drag racers and developed its racing parts division, called Mopar Performance Parts, in order to enhance speed and handling for both road and racing use.

About Tweddle Group

For more than 55 years, Tweddle Group has remained a leading provider of information and publishing solutions for automotive OEMs and their suppliers. Tweddle's unique combination of services encompasses the full spectrum of owner communications and technical publishing: information development, management, and delivery of products designed to enhance the overall connected owner experience.

End Bill Shock and Cell Phone 'Gotchas' With QuickMin for the iPhone

QuickMin iPhone Application by Wildboom Displays Remaining Cell Minutes

JERSEY CITY, N.J., June 17 -- As cell phone carriers like AT&T move to end unlimited usage plans, consumers have a new weapon in the arsenal to fend off overages and "gotchas." A new application called QuickMin is the first of its kind to display remaining cell minutes where talkers can't miss it--on the application's badge.

Avoiding overages with QuickMin is the first step toward taking control of cell phone charges and learning how to budget usage. QuickMin is a snap to configure. Simply input the user's phone number and a few carrier details. QuickMin's badge updates daily with the talkers' minutes balance. It can also be configured for reminders that alert users once the minutes are below a specified threshold.

Joseph Piccirillo, one of the creators of QuickMin, developed the application after he received a cell phone bill with $250 in overage charges.

"Although many of the major cell phone carriers offer customers a way to check their minute and data usage online, most consumers don't have the time or discipline to check their account, or family members' accounts daily," said Joseph Piccirillo, VP Innovation and Technology for Wildboom.

Bill shock and convenience were the impetus for developing QuickMin - accurate cell minute usage displayed with zero interaction required by the user. Take a daily quick look at the application's badge icon and you know exactly how many minutes are left for talking.

QuickMin also makes children and adults aware of how much they're talking. It can be used as a reminder and teaching tool for budgeting phone usage.

"Parents can set alerts that remind kids when minutes are running low signaling that it's time to decreasing talking because they're running out of minutes," added Piccirillo.

QuickMin costs only 99 cents and is available at http://www.wildboom.com/quickmin or through iTunes at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/quickmin/id370942162?mt=8#

Offerpal Media Helps Game Developers Triple Offer-Based Revenue With In-Game Promotional Campaigns

New white paper shares best practices in virtual currency monetization

FREMONT, Calif., June 17 -- Offerpal Media (http://www.offerpalmedia.com/), the leader in virtual currency payment alternatives, published a white paper today on best practices to help game developers and social publishers monetize their virtual currencies through in-game promotional offers and alternative payments. Titled "Beyond the Offerwall: Monetizing virtual currency through in-game promotions," the white paper reveals actual data from in-game promotions the company conducted with several of its top publishing partners in May, 2010.

The paper is available for download at http://offerpalmedia.com/white-papers.php.

  Key findings include:

  --  Participating developers experienced a more than 3x increase in
      offer-based advertising revenue versus normal daily revenue
  --  93% of the users who completed ad offers through the in-game
      promotions were new users who had never taken part in an offer in that
      game before
  --  Within the first week after completing an in-game promotional offer,
      over 10% of these newly monetized users had returned to fill out
      another offer or make a direct payment
  --  The effective CPM rate was $2.03, compared to typical CPM rates in the
      range of $0.10 to $1.00

"Traditional 'offerwalls' remain the most effective foundation for developers to monetize their virtual currency, but only about 10% of a game's audience tends to find them," said Mihir Shah, Chief Revenue Officer of Offerpal Media.  "In-game promotional campaigns allow our game developers to reach a broader audience, do much more interesting user and demographic targeting, and get best-in-industry payouts based on higher volumes and contextual relevance from major advertisers.  We uniquely understand that this is a direct response business first and foremost, not only a payments business."

An "in-game promotion," as used in the paper, refers to any advertising offer that is presented in certain junctions of a game that allow it to engage with users on a deeper level or to reach more users than a traditional "offerwall." Examples of in-game promotions include promotional display banners, special notifications, in-game flash integrations, branded virtual goods and more.

About Offerpal Media

Offerpal Media is the leader in virtual currency monetization for online games, virtual worlds and social networks. The company's turnkey payment platform gives consumers the opportunity to earn virtual currency for free by taking part in targeted advertising offers, shopping at big-brand retailers, completing online surveys, watching videos or otherwise engaging with brands.  Since its launch in 2007, Offerpal has engaged with more than 225 million consumers across 2,000 publishers, issuing a total of more than 1 trillion virtual points.

DSNR Labs Proudly Announces the Launch of eType's Private Beta

TEL AVIV, Israel, June 17 -- Imagine having your own personal creative editor who feeds you great phrasing suggestions as you type. Imagine still that he's multilingual, with impeccable grammar and spelling - Oh, and imagine he works for you pro bono, not charging you a thing. What you're actually imagining is a software called eType. (Sorry, most real editors just aren't this debonair.)

Launching today with six available languages, this international software of mystery will soon support virtually any language in the world.

  In three simple words: eType completes you.

  How does eType work?

The creators of eType developed a patented smart algorithm that supplies users with high probability word suggestions. These suggestions help users choose the word that they are most likely looking for and also afford them the opportunity to contribute their own suggestions. As such, eType's active English thesaurus acts as a creative facilitator as well as editor for writers, helping them to neutralize creative blocks as much as it preempts spelling and grammatical issues, completely freeing up the writer for the creative process to flow smoothly and unhindered.

eType serves not only as a dictionary for individuals to utilize, but as a dictionary for  everybody using eType to benefit from. Contributions are gathered from global users all over the world and are centralized in a single common dictionary.

Users may suggest the addition of new words, the deletion of existing words and suggest translations to eType. Each word entered by the user is processed through a series of online and offline verification tests and crowd sourcing tests, processed by eType's sophisticated algorithm, to ensure every word and translation is correct.

eType puts a strong emphasis on crowd sourcing by inputting vocabulary that the community contributes to its dictionary. eType's dictionary is a compilation of collective contributions of words gathered from all over the world in multiple languages. The sheer size of its user community will enhance eType's intelligence and functionality.

Are there alternatives to eType?

There are many built-in dictionaries and spell-checkers out there on the market - but there isn't a true alternative to eType. Other services offer dictionaries and translators in downloadable software or online Web sites, but do not offer preventative solutions that keep users from making writing errors in the first place. In addition, eType's services are all integrated into a single product so you can focus on enhancing your spelling and typing skills without having to open another application or Web site.

  Additional reasons to choose eType:
  1. eType works in full integration with most programs, browsers and Web
     sites, including Microsoft Word, Outlook and Gmail, ICQ and Windows
     Messenger, LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter - to name a few (for a
     complete list of compatible programs and sites, click here).
  2. eType is completely and absolutely free; no future purchase is
     required.
  3. Viewing the word suggestions eType offers will greatly improve the
     user's capacity for spelling, increase their vocabulary level and allow
     them to gain confidence in their writing.
  4. Make automatic contributions to the eType dictionary without ever
     having to stray from your writing.
  5. Just as language changes over time, so does eType. For example, the
     word "tweet" today means something completely different than it did
     five years ago. The more eType is used and the more words are added or
     altered by the community, the more intelligent and enriched eType's
     vocabulary becomes. eType's crowd sourcing will ensure it stays
     relevant in today's society.

  OK, I'm convinced I want eType! What now?

Download and install the eType program for free; the installation process is simple, straightforward and will only take minutes of your time. Begin typing and after three keys, eType's auto-complete window will pop up and start suggesting completions to your word. You may alter eType's settings to any number of keys or seconds you like before it suggests a completion to your word.

eType offers you translations to words in your native language so you can make sure you choose the right word at the right time. Not satisfied with the selection of word choices provided? This is where your contribution to eType's online community comes into play.

What is eType's revenue model?

With the privilege of having strong financial backing, eType is completely free because it is truly focused on building a strong community of users, improving its predictive algorithm and releasing new features that will continue to enhance users' writing skills.

A word about Privacy from eType

eType does not save any content that users type, as the team behind eType takes their users' privacy very seriously. eType collects general statistics regarding the typed content, without any identification of the user, in order to update and enhance the vocabulary of the dictionary. Users' emails may be collected in order to update the community about new features and releases; however, users do not need to provide eType with their email address in order to download the software.

What is eType's vision for the future?

In the future, eType envisions completing not only users' single words, but entire sentences. With the support of a multilingual grammar algorithm, an extensive amount of data gathered from global users and more statistics gathered from the Web, eType will be able to complete words and sentences in the right context. eType will offer in-context suggestions based on text the writer has already entered and will allow users to adjust these in-context suggestions to apply to their personal writing capacity.

Additionally, eType also plans to open its API in the future, enabling users to share their dictionaries with other users and applications. Teenagers will be able to create their own slang dictionary with terms pertaining to sci-fi movies like Avatar and physicians will be able to create their own medical-terminology dictionary. The folks at eType envision a future world of shared online community dictionaries.

  Feel free to join eTypes online communities on Facebook and Twitter.

CHICAGO, June 17 -- Summer and fun go hand-in-hand but what about summer and reading?

One in three moms with children age 3- to 7-years old believe their busy schedules make it difficult to ensure their kids are reading enough, according to the new "Summer Smarts" survey conducted on behalf of VTech® by MarketTools, an independent third-party research firm. In addition, more than 40 percent of moms state that simply not having enough time to spend reading with their children is the biggest challenge they face as a parent in trying to make reading an everyday habit for their child.

National Summer Learning Day is Monday, June 21, the same day VTech (http://www.vtechkids.com), the creator of the electronic learning products category, launches V.Reader, the world's first animated e-book system for children, one of the most talked about and innovative toys coming to market in 2010. V.Reader was designed to engage kids in an interactive reading experience, offer hours of play value, and help combat the dreaded "summer brain drain."

"We understand that parents are looking for ways to merge learning and fun during the summer and VTech is excited to offer the V.Reader, which does exactly that," said Tom McClure, director of marketing, VTech Electronics North America, LLC. "Parents can trust this cutting-edge product to aid in their children's development while proving how learning can be fun too."

"It's important for beginner readers to continue practicing their newly acquired reading skills throughout the summer," said Ron Fairchild, founding CEO of the National Summer Learning Association and a national authority on how to expand learning opportunities for youth. "Research shows that access to reading material that matches kids' ability levels and interests, and assistance to ensure comprehension, are important to sustaining and advancing reading skills."

Additional "Summer Smarts" survey findings show moms need more help encouraging their kids to read and maintain their summer smarts:

  --  More time! Eight in 10 moms believe that their child would benefit
      more from reading time (82 percent).
  --  Summer reading lists are missing-in-action! Nearly eight in 10 kids
      don't have a summer reading list (78 percent).
  --  Too little, too hard! Two thirds of moms are worried about how little
      children read these days while one third of moms say it's harder to
      get their kids to read during the summer (67%, 34%, respectively).
  --  Busy, busy! Nearly half of moms of children 3-7 years old wish there
      were ways to include reading in their child's on-the-go schedule (47
      percent).

  V.Reader - Ages 3 to 7 years - SRP: $59.99
  Animated e-Book System

  Innovative Learning Fun

Using the world's first children's animated e-book system, children who are new to reading will have fun practicing their reading skills. VTech's V.Reader provides the necessary building blocks for kids to grow into a fluent reader as they learn reading comprehension, vocabulary, phonics, word-building and definitions that are easy for them to comprehend.

Reading Comes to Life

Stories come to life as children engage with vivid animation, narration, character voices, graphics, sounds and music as they watch, read, interact and learn. With the V.Reader, they can follow their favorite animated characters such as Toy Story, Shrek and Dora the Explorer, play interactive reading games and view the story dictionary which helps children discover the context of the stories.

Online Bookstore

More than 100 additional stories will be available via a download library located on the VTech website (http://www.vtechkids.com/download), including some free titles, themes and avatars kids can use to customize their e-books. Additionally, each time a child's V.Reader is connected to a PC or Mac computer, their reading scores are automatically updated to their parent's registered account. Through this account, parents receive an overview of how their child is progressing through key learning curriculum, all of which are tailored to his or her age.

Favorite Characters

At launch, 11 software titles (SRP: $19.99 each) are available and include:

  -- The Little Engine That Could                -- Olivia
  -- Disney/Pixar's Cars                         -- Disney Fairies

CommuniGator Releases Inbox Testing for Mobile Devices

GODALMING, England, June 17, 2010--     Following the launch of GatorMail's Inbox Checker in 2009
CommuniGator (http://www.communigator.co.uk) are proud to announce the
introduction of advanced inbox testing for all of the commonly used operating
systems for handheld email devices, including BlackBerry, iPhone and Windows
Mobile

    The rendering of HTML emails in the inboxes of the widely used
desktop email clients and online ESPs has always been one of the key factors
in successful email marketing. In 2009 CommuniGator launched the Inbox
Checker, which returns the user screenshot images of how their emails will
display in programs such as Outlook and Lotus Notes, as well as providers
such as Hotmail, Yahoo and Gmail. Alongside this HTML emails are rated by the
market leading spam filtering devices, giving an indication of how likely
email communications are to be delivered, as well as a clear indication of
what the recipient will see when they arrive.

    One of the more common questions asked by customers is how
emails will display in handheld devices such as BlackBerry, iPhone and the
Windows Mobile operating system, so the next logical progression was to serve
similar screenshots for each of these devices.

    "With the ever increasing usage of handheld devices for email
it is vital for the marketer to understand the recipient experience on
receipt of HTML emails. Following the successful launch of our Inbox Checker
module, the next step in our product roadmap was to provide a view of how
emails will render in the more popular of these devices, for example
BlackBerry and iPhone." - Lee Chadwick, MD, CommuniGator Ltd

    Chadwick continues to say "We now have a facility to feedback
to our customers with screenshots and scrolling images prior to sending of
campaigns, giving a crucial insight into the recipient's perception of each
piece of HTML that our customers send."

    Michael Cottrell, Marketing Manager, CommuniGator Ltd, adds
"Provision of best practice HTML email templates is a key part of our service
offering at CommuniGator, so it is essential that we keep our rulebook up to
date with the latest technological advances. The Advanced Inbox Checker gives
a new perspective to add to this service, allowing us to offer even more
value to our customers."

services, specialising in Email Marketing Software, Surveys, Event Management
and Digital Brochures. For further information, product enquiries or a trial

NAVTEQ Offers Full Map Coverage of Egypt

Egyptian navigable map completed and new Saudi Arabian addressing system introduced

CHICAGO, June 17 -- NAVTEQ, the leading global provider of maps, traffic and location data enabling navigation, location-based services and mobile advertising around the world, continues to expand its coverage in the Middle East and Africa with the launch of a full, navigable map for Egypt and a completely updated addressing system in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

NAVTEQ accelerated its map building programme in Egypt when the government opened its policy regarding GPS mobile phones and navigation systems and now offers coverage of the country's entire road network of around 75,000 kilometres. Stretching from the beautiful beaches and Mediterranean resorts of Alexandria and the North Coast to the Aswan Dam in the south, the map also includes over 75,000 Points of Interest (POIs). They cover not only the country's many cultural and tourist sites but also categories such as railway stations, petrol stations, restaurants and many more to help both visitors and residents get from A to B.

The map also features many attributes that support efficient, turn-by-turn navigation and driver orientation. This includes over 90 3D Landmarks of well-known locations in 14 key cities and tourist 'super sites' such as the Great Sphinx in Giza and the El Karnak Temple in Luxor.

New addressing system in Saudi Arabia

NAVTEQ understands the importance of incorporating country specific nuances into its maps and in Saudi Arabia has made significant changes to accommodate the Kingdom's evolving address system. Traditionally, there has not been a home and street address structure with people depending on Post Box numbers to receive mail. As a result they have tended to use POIs rather than addresses to select a destination in a navigation system, therefore NAVTEQ has increased the number of these familiar markers to nearly 150,000.

In addition, 'Point Addressing,' advanced content that further enhances destination arrival, has been added. This enables more accurate location of individual buildings and, in this case, has been based on the new Saudi Post addressing system which has assigned a unique grid number to every residential house and commercial or government building. Once people become familiar with the new Wasel addresses, they will be able to use them to select destinations in their navigation systems and be routed directly from door to door.

"Production of a map in such a key political and cultural centre as Egypt has been a priority for NAVTEQ and we are committed to providing the necessary resources to advance and maintain it into the future," explained Frank Pauli, vice president EMEA map & content products. "This is, of course, part of a broader plan to expand our presence across the Middle East and Africa by adding coverage and advanced content. In addition to the work in Saudi Arabia, other recent developments include the first NAVTEQ Discover Cities(TM) product in the Middle East with the completion of a pedestrian map of Dubai."

About NAVTEQ

NAVTEQ is the leading global provider of maps, traffic and location data (digital location content) enabling navigation, location-based services and mobile advertising around the world. NAVTEQ supplies comprehensive digital location content to power automotive navigation systems, portable and wireless devices, Internet-based mapping applications and government and business solutions.

New PureSense Irrigation Manager(TM) iPhone App Released to iTunes App Store

Innovative Mobile App Proves Useful to Growers for Irrigation Management

FRESNO, Calif., June 17 -- PureSense Environmental Inc. announced today that its Irrigation Manager(TM) iPhone application is now available through the iTunes App Store.

Built as a mobile platform for PureSense subscribers, the PureSense app brings the reporting power growers have come to expect from Irrigation Manager(TM) to the iPhone, allowing the grower to be more informed, efficient and mobile than ever before.

Cory Wyatt with Eastside Management in Modesto, CA manages over 5400 acres of almonds with PureSense and was a tester for the Irrigation Manager iPhone app beta version.

"With the new app, I'm able to know anything about my soil moisture without having to find a computer," said Wyatt. "It confirms that the irrigation decisions which I've made are actually happening."

Wyatt has 64 PureSense monitoring stations and with the Irrigation Manager iPhone app he can see where he is relative to his stations via the app's map view.

Growers can access timely, accurate data for each monitored irrigation set. With a single tap in the Charts feature, growers can view powerful PureSense charts used to support important irrigation decisions. The Alerts feature enables the viewing and analyzing of all recent moisture or weather related alerts, including frost, heat and wind alerts.

Bob Amarel, Managing Partner with Reason Farms in Yuba City, CA was also a beta tester for the PureSense app. Amarel manages walnuts and prunes and has 4 PureSense monitoring sites. The convenience of having the information at his fingertips proved most valuable.

"Bottom line, it's amazing," said Amarel. "It's like carrying your computer in your pocket. I can be working on something, wonder about my moisture levels, check my phone and know instantly what they are."

"The PureSense app is a must-have for all growers or irrigation managers wanting to spend more time in the field or with their family rather than in the office," said Todd Rickets, Director of Product Management with PureSense.

The app is available through iTunes and is only available to growers with a PureSense login. The Irrigation Manager app can be found at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/puresense-irrigation-manager/id376461719?mt=8. For more information visit http://www.PureSense.com or call 888.882.7873.

About PureSense

In a time when water is a limited resource, PureSense is one of the only companies dedicated to helping growers solve their water-related problems by providing them with the hardware, software and service needed to analyze critical field information. By doing so, growers who use PureSense are seeing an increase in yields, overall plant health and decrease in farm inputs.

NAVTEQ Completes Navigable Map of Bulgaria

Drivers can now travel the entire road network using navigation systems

CHICAGO, June 17 -- NAVTEQ, the leading global provider of maps, traffic and location data enabling navigation, location-based services and mobile advertising around the world, now offers full, navigable map coverage of Bulgaria.

By using the latest map data in navigation systems, drivers will now have access to routing along the country's entire road network of nearly 100,000 kilometres.  Over 33,000 Points of Interest will guide people not only to the wealth of cultural heritage sites throughout the country, but also to ski centres in the mountains to the west, holiday resorts on the Black Sea coast - and much more in categories such as hotels, railway stations, shops, restaurants and petrol stations.

A crossroads between the East and the West where, throughout history, paths of world civilisations have met, Bulgaria borders no less than five countries.  The NAVTEQ® map links seamlessly to the road networks in Romania, Serbia, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Greece and Turkey for easy cross border travel.

The map also features many attributes which support efficient navigation including speed limits, stop signs and traffic signals.  NAVTEQ Transport(TM) provides the transportation and logistics industries with accurate truck-specific attributes for routing large vehicles on the main road network. The data includes legal, height, width, weight, hazardous materials and time or date restrictions.

Local team - global standards

Every country has individual traits and presents different challenges.  In Bulgaria a significant percentage of the terrain is hilly or mountainous and much of the network of smaller roads is very rural in nature.  During winter, snow and ice on winding mountain roads proved testing for the Bulgarian team of NAVTEQ specialists who are part of a global group of around 1,100 geographic analysts based in 46 countries.  As part of the verification process, the geographic analysts drive millions of kilometres each year refining the database using proprietary software and tools.

"We have established a base in Sofia as local presence is a key factor in understanding and incorporating country specific nuances whilst maintaining the company's global specification and high standards: we recognise the importance of local intelligence," commented Frank Pauli, vice president EMEA map & content products.  "For example, as part of the map building process, we collected addresses and names on an unprecedented scale for Bulgaria and the team's contacts proved invaluable in helping us complete this part of the project."

Great strides forward in Eastern Europe

NAVTEQ is committed to developing coverage of Eastern Europe and the Balkans and, in addition to Bulgaria, already has full coverage of Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia.  Expansion is continuing in Albania, Belarus, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, Turkey, the Ukraine and Romania.

For example, NAVTEQ is continuing to develop its coverage in Romania and now has over 167,000 kilometres of road network in its database.  Featuring 62 towns and cities, the map covers the main business and industrial centres plus all the seaside resorts on the Black Sea coast.  The map also features many attributes which support efficient navigation including speed limits and driver alerts, as well as NAVTEQ Transport.

Morningstar Europe B.V. to Acquire Remaining Ownership Interest in Morningstar Danmark A/S

CHICAGO and COPENHAGEN, Denmark, June 17 -- Morningstar Europe B.V., a subsidiary of Morningstar, Inc. (NASDAQ:MORN), a leading provider of independent investment research, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 75 percent ownership interest in Morningstar Danmark A/S from Phosphorus A/S, bringing its ownership to 100 percent. Morningstar will pay Phosphorus A/S U.S. $15.2 million, or approximately DKK 91 million, plus an amount for its share of first-half 2010 net profits. The companies expect to complete the transaction in July, subject to customary closing conditions.

Located in Copenhagen, Morningstar Danmark was established in 2001 by Morningstar Europe and Phosphorus A/S, a Danish company. The company's main offering is the investment information website for individual investors, Morningstar.dk, which provides fund and ETF data, portfolio tools, and market analysis.

"Together with Phosphorus and the local management team, we've been providing investment data and software to the Danish market for more than eight years, and the company already has a well-respected brand in the industry," said Joe Mansueto, chairman and chief executive officer of Morningstar.

AT&T Customers Get More Mobile Broadband Coverage in Suffolk

Two New Cell Sites Activated as Part of Ongoing AT&T Investment in Local Wireless Network

HAMPTON ROADS, Va., June 17 -- As part of its continuing network investment to support growing demand for advanced mobile devices and applications, AT&T* today announced the activation of two new 3G cell sites in the Suffolk area that will enhance coverage for area residents and businesses. The first site will expand the network along Holland Road in the Suffolk West Shopping Center.  The second will enhance 3G coverage in the community of Sandy Bottom and along Crittenden Road between VA Rte. 10 and US 17.  With 3G speeds, AT&T customers in these areas can surf the Web, download files faster, and enjoy the very latest interactive mobile applications.

During the past several years, we've made substantial private investments to provide our customers in the Hampton Roads area and across Virginia with access to the kind of technology that will stimulate economic growth, inspire innovation and create jobs," said J. Michael Schweder, president, AT&T Mid Atlantic.  "We remain committed to working with our federal, state and local leaders to help create a positive economic environment that provides opportunities for companies to continue to invest aggressively in Virginia."

The new cell site is part of AT&T's ongoing efforts to extend its 3G wireless network - the fastest in the nation, according to independent testing.  It is also part of AT&T's previously announced plans to drive innovation and expand its mobile network across the Commonwealth. From 2007 through 2009, AT&T's total capital investment in its Virginia wireless and wireline networks was nearly $600 million.

"Our goal is pretty simple: we want you to have an extraordinary experience when you make a call, check e-mail, download a song or video, or surf the Internet on your AT&T device," said Erika K. Thompson-Kemp, vice president and general manager for AT&T in Virginia and West Virginia. "As part of the Suffolk community, we're always looking for new opportunities to provide enhanced coverage and our investment in the local wireless network is just one way to accomplish this."

AT&T recently completed a software upgrade at 3G cell sites nationwide that prepares the nation's fastest 3G network for even faster speeds. The deployment of High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) 7.2 technology is the first of multiple initiatives in AT&T's network enhancement strategy designed to provide customers with an enhanced mobile broadband experience, both today and well into the future.  Faster 3G speeds are scheduled to become available in 2010 and 2011 on a market by market basis as AT&T combines the new technology with our second initiative to dramatically increase the number of high-speed backhaul connections to cell sites, primarily with fiber-optic connections, adding capacity from cell sites to the AT&T backbone network.

Multicore Association to Tear Down Development-Tool-Interoperability Barriers

Industry Leaders Cooperate to Drive Standards for Data Exchange Between Tools and Ease the Transition to Multicore Systems

EL DORADO HILLS, Calif., June 17 -- The Multicore Association(TM), a global non-profit organization that develops standards to speed time-to-market for products with multicore implementations, has announced its intent to tear down barriers that slow development of complex multicore applications. These barriers grow from the diverse and non-interoperable tools that developers use to design, assemble, program and verify their products.

When programmers are developing applications that utilize complex multicore devices, they must understand how the whole system functions and they often use a variety of diverse and non-interoperable development tools for this purpose. Although mechanisms exist to support tool interoperability for embedded applications that utilize a single, integrated development environment (IDE), today no standard exists to support the embedded multicore environment. To mitigate the issue of interoperability, the Multicore Association's newly formed Tools Infrastructure Working Group (TIWG) aims to define a common data format and create standards-based mechanisms to share data across diverse development tools knocking down the barriers that prevent data exchange.

Multicore platforms offer the ability to run software in parallel. When migrating existing sequential software to multicore platforms or developing new parallel software, programmers must use a range of tools that include tracers, profilers, and analysis tools. To facilitate these activities, the TIWG's first year goal is to establish a trace data format standard. A subsequent goal will be to define interfaces between profilers and analysis/visualization tools. Meeting these goals will aid programmers searching for performance bottlenecks that limit the speed and capabilities of their multicore platforms.

The TIWG also plans to collaborate with the CE Linux Forum on a reference implementation for a de-facto trace data format standard that TIWG will define. "Together with the Multicore Association, we have the ability to co-develop a reference implementation targeting the Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation," said Mathieu Desnoyers, president of EfficiOS Inc. and lead developer of the LTTng project. "The reference implementation and the toolkit will certainly help resolve the pressing industry need for interoperable tracing tools. We will initially be gathering use cases and requirements from the industry's tracing users."

"In general, programmers always choose the development tools they are familiar with, but because these tools may not be able to exchange data, the familiar tools may build barriers, rather than facilitate application development," noted Markus Levy, president of the Multicore Association. "Furthermore, the more difficulty that users have with the tools for specific processors, the less inclined they will be to purchase those processors. Hence, the TIWG's efforts will have far-reaching benefits for the embedded multicore ecosystem."

Tasneem Brutch, Sr. Staff Engineer of Samsung Electronics, is chairing the Multicore Association Tool Infrastructure Working Group, with participation from industry and academia including: Freescale Semiconductor, Mentor Graphics, IBM, IMEC, National Instruments, Nokia Siemens Networks, Samsung, Texas Instruments, Tilera, Wind River, University of Houston, Polytechnique Montreal, and University of Utah. In line with the other working groups of the MCA, the TIWG will ultimately make the fruits of its labor publicly available to ensure unconstrained industry-wide adoption.

About The Multicore Association

The Multicore Association provides a neutral forum for vendors who are interested in, working with, and/or proliferating multicore-related products, including processors, infrastructure, devices, software, and applications. The consortium has made available its Multicore Communications API (MCAPI) specification through its website, and will soon release its Multicore Resource Management API (MRAPI). Currently, the organization is set up with four active working groups: Multicore Virtualization, Multicore Resource Management, Multicore Programming Practices (MPP), and Tools Infrastructure (TIWG).

Members include Abo Akademi University, Argon Design, CAPS entreprise, Carnegie Mellon University, Cavium Networks, Codeplay, CriticalBlue, Delft University of Technology, EADS North America, Enea, eSOL, Freescale Semiconductor, Huawei Technologies, IBM, IMEC, Intel, LG Electronics Co, LSI , Mentor Graphics, MIPS Technologies, National Instruments, nCore Design LLC, Nokia Siemens Networks, Open Kernel Labs, Plurality, PolyCore Software, Qualcomm, Samsung Electronics, Siemens, Texas Instruments, The Multicore-Association, Tilera, Univ Polytechnique Montreal, University of Houston, University of Utah, and Wind River.

Roamware Announces Global Availability of Cardless ATM Solution

Roamware's innovative mobile financial solution enables ATM withdrawals without a physical cash card

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 17 -- Roamware, a global leader in mobile roaming solutions and financial services, announces the global availability of Cardless ATM.  The service enables bank customers to withdraw cash from an ATM without the use of a cash card.  Cardless ATM can be used in case of loss or theft of a cash card as well as to send money to friends or family at home or abroad.

Cardless ATM is already in use in Europe.  Permanent TSB (PTSB) launched the service in Ireland as part of its mobile banking solutions in 2009. Branded as 'Emergency Cash,' the service allows customers to send euro 100 to anyone in Ireland simply by sending an SMS. Upon receiving the text message, the recipient may go to any PTSB cash point to withdraw the emergency cash - without the need for an ATM card. Registered customers can request payment five times per month up to a maximum of euro 500 (euro 100 per withdrawal). The account holder is charged euro 2 per withdrawal.

"Emergency Cash is one of the many ways we are differentiated in the market," said Eamon Martin, Online Development and Mobile Banking Manager at Permanent TSB.  "And it gives our customers peace of mind - knowing they still have access to cash if their card is stolen."

"There is great interest in this product from banks around the world," said Avnish Chauhan, Executive Vice President at Roamware.  "It is particularly of interest in Asia and Africa where banks plan on using it for mobile money purposes, that is to send money to friends and family. This is a cost saving solution that could potentially complement 'no frills' bank account offering to underbanked and unbanked communities in developing economies," added Avnish.

Cardless ATM is one of many mobile financial products that Roamware has made available to banks and mobile operators since the acquisition of mobile financial services developer Macalla Software Ltd in 2009.  Other m-commerce and mobile banking solutions offered by Roamware include credit transfers, international remittance, adding prepaid minutes, person to person transactions and bill payment.

Ubiquity Broadcasting Corporation Makes History in Action Sports With Its Ground-Breaking Technology, the World's First IP Backhaul. Ubiquity's Technology is Game Changing for the Future of the Broadcasting Industry.

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif., June 16 -- Ubiquity Broadcasting Corporation has made history yesterday while successfully broadcasting the 2010 Sponsor Me Hawaii Ala Moana Bowls Contest unveiling the world's first IP backhaul. Ubiquity Broadcasting Corporation's patented IP backhaul technology and methodology will change the way the world views live broadcasts and simulcasts over the internet, television, and mobile devices.

Ubiquity has made history using the next generation of broadcasting while working with Time Warner Oceanic Cable to broadcast day 1 of the Sponsor Me Hawaii Ala Moana Bowls contest June 15, 2010. Ubiquity provided broadcasters with a direct IP stream eliminating the need for expensive satellite trucks, production equipment, production staff, and costly fixed fiber drops, termed an IP backhaul. By using an IP backhaul, broadcasters are afforded the flexibility and mobility needed to deliver a cost effective HD broadcast and simulcast to the internet, television, and mobile media devices. The 2010 Sponsor Me Hawaii Ala Moana Bowls Contest broadcast is the world's first successful attempt at an IP Backhaul. Ubiquity successfully broadcasted the contest live on June 15, 2010 on Time Warner Oceanic Cable, on the internet at sponsorme.tv/bowls, on Apple's iPad and iPhone, and on other mobile devices. The contest was shot in Sony provided HD cameras.

The culmination of 9 years of patenting the methodology and perfecting the necessary technology for an IP backhaul, has proven to be a huge successes as witnessed yesterday by millions of viewers. Working closely with their team of PHDs and engineers for the past 9 years, Ubiquity has finally perfected the next wave of broadcasting technology. Viewers of the live HD broadcast online, on television, and on both the iPad and the iPhone yesterday were amazed by the clarity and streaming quality of the world's first IP backhaul. CEO of Ubiquity Broadcasting Corporation Chris Carmichael said, "After working on this for 9 years, the technology has finally caught up with reality." Pro surfer Sunny Garcia said, "I can't believe Ubiquity had the contest on the iPad and iPhone. The clarity on my iPhone was amazing. As I watched my co-competitors in the water I was able to watch and listen to the live play by play and instant replays on my phone right there on the beach." Viewers from all over the world called in and posted messages during the live event stating how easy and accessible the live broadcast was on their mobile devices. A live viewer from Israel could not believe how easy it was to access the live stream on his phone.

Ubiquity's IP backhaul technology allows for further distribution and ease of use to the end user. Ubiquity's co-founder Connie Jordan said, "Ubiquity's IP backhaul allows people all over the world to view live broadcasts anywhere anytime by landing on mobile media devices such as the iPhone and iPad." Carmichael added, "It is all about ease of use and accessibility to the end user. This is what the world of broadcasting has been waiting for." In a live interview during the contest with CEO Chris Carmichael he showed the world's first IP backhaul streaming live on both the iPad and iPhone simultaneously with the Time Warner Oceanic Cable broadcast.

The next generation of broadcasting is here. Ubiquity Broadcasting Corporation's 6 time Emmy award winning producer Stephen Jacobs says, "Ubiquity is at the forefront of broadcasting technology, and has arrived at the intersection of capabilities and opportunities.  It's a very exciting time to be here."

Ubiquity's Director of live webcasts, Daniel Swiney, who has done over 100 live broadcasts, said "We could not have asked for a more successful day. The IP backhaul worked to perfection. I can't wait to see how this technology takes off now that we have perfected it."

Today people want their information when they want it. Ubiquity's IP backhaul technology enables broadcasters to empower the end user by giving them the option to view a live broadcast on their choice of media. Ubiquity's technology allows broadcasters the opportunity to increase their bottom line by saving money on the expensive overhead while still providing viewers the HD quality broadcast consumers demand. An added benefit to Broadcasters is the ability to broadcast from anywhere in the world without days of setup and the added expense and trouble of cable and satellite uplinks.

Ubiquity will bring the next generation of broadcasting and technology to life by broadcasting live events in HD simultaneously to the internet, television, and mobile devices using their patented IP backhaul technology. Ubiquity's technology has been proven in the hardest arena to broadcast, action sports. The NFL, NBA, NHL, and other mainstream sports are next on Ubiquity's radar, as the need for a better way to broadcast simultaneously in HD is in high demand. Ubiquity's technology will forever change the way broadcasting is done in the future.

Ala Moana Bowls

Ala Moana has starred in over 30 surf videos including "Endless Summer" and "Tales of the Seven Seas" which includes a scene that perfectly characterizes the spot - massive tubes, boards flying, ruthless drop-ins, and the climactic conclusion of a catamaran being capsized by a cleanup set.  One of the best places to surf in Hawaii, Ala Moana Bowls is a popular spot on Oahu. It's an exposed reef break with consistent surf. This left-hand reef break is the symbol of great South Shore waves. Packed and very competitive, it's virtually reserved for locals who know how to surf inside the bowl. Ala Moana is a long wave with a few different tube sections and a range of takeoff spots. The bowl is just that-an inside-out section halfway in that forms between the Ala Moana boating channel and the Pacific Ocean. It holds waves of 4 to 12 feet. The takeoff is steep and fast; getting caught behind is risky. It's most ideal when a south swell detonates on the initial bowl section. The water next to the reef has been dredged for the harbor so the swells are unique. Ala Moana Bowls is at its best in summertime due to the south swells that provide the surfing community a much needed opportunity to win valuable WQS points at home breaks. These points will count towards qualification for the 2010 Vans Triple Crown of Surfing and the 2010 elite World Championship Tour.
