New iPhone App Features Wolf Howls, World's Largest Free Collection of Endangered Animal Ringtones

Wild Calls App Believed First to Use "Push Notification" Technology for Environmental Education, Activism

SAN FRANCISCO, April 15 -- The Center for Biological Diversity today announced the release of an innovative new iPhone application, Wild Calls, a free app designed to increase awareness of the plight of endangered species worldwide and to spur people to take action to protect wildlife.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100415/DC87087 )

The free application allows users to receive a randomly selected endangered species sound each week (or more frequently if users choose) via push notification. Through the "Call of the Wild" feature, each week one of 30 endangered species sounds will be randomly selected from the Center's library and "pushed" to app users, who can then experience a genuine recording of an endangered species in its natural habitat, recorded by someone in the Center's global network of researchers and wildlife advocates. Users can then download the sound as a ringtone or browse the app's gallery of additional "Rare Earthtones" to download additional ringtones, along with matching wallpapers, or learn more about endangered species. Another feature of the app, "Wake Up Wild," allows users to make their cell-phone alarm clock play an endangered species sound as their wake-up call.

Said Peter Galvin, conservation director of the Center for Biological Diversity: "Wild Calls is destined to be one of the top green apps ever developed." Added Galvin: "Wild Calls helps keeps the wild close by, no matter where you are."

The Wild Calls app is believed to the first iPhone app specifically devoted to the protection of endangered wildlife. The app also allows users to subscribe to Endangered Earth Online, the acclaimed weekly electronic newsletter of the Center for Biological Diversity; and to respond to action alerts from the Center by signing letters and petitions in support of protecting endangered species.

The Center for Biological Diversity is a national nonprofit devoted to protecting endangered species and wildlife through litigation, science, and creative media. The Center's free ringtones site, http://www.RareEarthtones.org, was launched in 2007 and now features almost 100 ringtones.

About the Center for Biological Diversity

International Paper's 'Down to Earth(TM)' Brochures Available for Co-Branding

Printers, end-users and other organizations can now add their logos and company information to customized versions of brochures in International Paper's popular myth-busting environmental series, "Down to Earth."

MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 15 -- Issues of "Down to Earth(TM)", the environmental educational series from International Paper, are now available for customization by printers, end-users and other organizations that want to add their logo and company information to the brochures before sharing them with customers. This co-branding initiative is another opportunity for printers and others to help dispel some false claims about paper and printing that can have a negative impact on the paper and forest products industry.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020701/IPLOGO )

Four of the most sought after "Down to Earth(TM)" topics are available as co-branding templates with offset and digital artwork provided. Available issues are: Is it Worth Printing?; Are Pixels Greener than Paper?; How Do Certification Labels and Logos Benefit You?; and How Does Using Paper Lead to More Trees?

"Printers and many other customers can differentiate themselves from the competition and show their sustainability savvy by taking advantage of this co-branding opportunity," said Teri Shanahan, IP's vice president, Commercial Printing. "Our goal is to get the right environmental messages to as many people as possible so they can continue to feel great about using paper and print. With our 'Down to Earth(TM)' brochures, printers and others can have fact-based, ready answers supplemented with co-branded selling tools when presented with questions and concerns about paper and the environment."

Printers and other organizations who wish to download and co-brand these International Paper "Down to Earth(TM)" templates can go to the company's sales and marketing tool portal, getgrowkeep.com, and register as a new user. The link to the templates can be found in "Featured Items" or by clicking on Catalog, then Environmental, then Sustainability Materials. Instructions and guidelines for adding logos and company information are provided.

In addition, interested parties can go to the Media Center at the newly released down2earthonline.com to obtain banner artwork that allows them to link directly to the website from their company/organization website or blog, supplementing their own environmental messages. The down2earthonline.com site is very popular with industry and consumers with its easy access to factual paper and environmental information.

Environmental issues in the paper and printing industries are very complex, can be easily misunderstood and, consequently, often misrepresented. The "Down to Earth(TM)" co-branding initiative provides a balanced and fact-driven picture in a thought-provoking manner that shows how choosing paper products protects the environment, supports communities and keeps our forests growing.

Laid-Off Workers Get Job Leads on the Go With New Mobile App from RiseSmart

Transition Concierge To-Go(TM) extends next-generation outplacement solution to BlackBerry, iPhone and Android-based phones.

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 15 -- RiseSmart, a leading provider of Web-enabled outplacement and job search services, today announced the launch of Transition Concierge To-Go(TM), a mobile application that delivers personalized job leads and other job-search tools to the smartphones of laid-off workers.

"Traditional outplacement providers still build their offerings around the outdated idea that laid-off employees should come to a physical office to attend seminars and be taught how to find a job," said Sanjay Sathe, founder and CEO of RiseSmart.  "Transition Concierge takes the opposite approach.  We go where the employees are -- and our new mobile app is a perfect example of this."

Transition Concierge To-Go is an extension of Transition Concierge 3.0, RiseSmart's next-generation outplacement offering that provides highly personalized job leads to laid-off workers each week via an online interface. The mobile app will initially be available on BlackBerry devices, followed by the iPhone and Android-based phones.

Transition Concierge To-Go sends relevant job opportunities directly to workers' smartphones, enabling them to:

  --  See the latest job leads that match their skills and preferences;
  --  Tag jobs they like for follow-up;
  --  Send themselves a reminder to take action on a job lead;
  --  Review notifications for job-related Webinars and networking events;
  --  Contact a RiseSmart Transition Specialist via phone or e-mail with
      feedback or to request additional information;
  --  Review preferences, settings, favorites and more!

A primary distinction of Transition Concierge 3.0, compared to traditional corporate outplacement offerings, is that the solution provides highly personalized job leads to each employee on a weekly basis.

RiseSmart uses proprietary aggregation and semantic search technology to match each employee's job preferences against hundreds of thousands of active job listings across the Web.  Then, a specialist assigned to the employee's account hones these results by hand -- ensuring that only pertinent leads are delivered to each employee.

About RiseSmart

RiseSmart provides the next-generation outplacement and recruitment process outsourcing solutions.  The company leverages a common technology platform, proven methodologies, and one-on-one support to help employers with their workforce strategy, and displaced employees with their career strategy.  RiseSmart drives significant ROI to organizations by offering affordable pricing, reducing severance costs and unemployment taxes for outplacement services and reducing cycle time and cost of hire for recruiting services.  For more information, visit http://www.RiseSmart.com.

New RSA(SM) CyberCrime Intelligence Service Helps Prevent Theft of Enterprise Data and User Identities

New Service from EMC's Security Division Helps Organizations Identify Data and Systems Compromised by Online Attacks and Remediate Through Security Policy and Control

BEDFORD, Mass., April 15 -- RSA, The Security Division of EMC (NYSE:EMC) announced the new RSA(SM) CyberCrime Intelligence Service designed to help organizations identify computers, information assets and identities compromised by Trojans and other online attacks. The managed service is powered by the RSA® Anti-Fraud Command Center and helps IT professionals further understand and isolate possible points of exposure within their enterprise environments so they can adjust security controls and close gaps to better protect their organizations against the theft of corporate resources by fraudsters.

Advanced forms of malware such as the Zeus Trojan can silently capture a wide variety of data and credentials contained on enterprise computers and laptops, including proprietary information such as legal documents, healthcare records and corporate secrets. However, many organizations are not aware of the impact of malware within their systems that pose a significant threat to their information and bottom line. Recent research by the RSA Anti-Fraud Command Center reveals widespread compromise within networks belonging to Fortune 500 companies. Within this group of some of the world's largest corporations, RSA identified that 88 percent (441 in total) had systems accessed by infected machines and 60 percent of the firms (299 in total) had experienced stolen email account information.

"We are seeing a celestial alignment within the world of online fraud which means that a much broader segment of corporate Internet users are being targeted by criminals who are looking to steal more than just credit card numbers and consumer identities. Advanced, stealthy Trojans like Zeus that are detected less than 46% of the time* and are readily available to online criminals who are interested in stealing information for illegal gain," according to Uri Rivner, Head of New CyberCrime Technology at RSA. "Moreover, we estimate that the wildfire infection of these Trojans has expanded ten times between 2008 and 2009."**

The RSA CyberCrime Intelligence Service is designed to identify a subscribing organization's compromised computers and user credentials including those that are leveraged via remote access. It is engineered to provide information security professionals with actionable knowledge and information necessary to adjust policies and controls to prevent the loss of data to malware and careless employee activities. Security managers can use the information and analysis provided by the service to react to and remediate potential data exposures, employee identity theft, as well as infected corporate resources. The new service is based on the RSA FraudAction(SM) service and leverages 24x7 monitoring and detection, alerts and reporting provided by RSA's team of experienced fraud analysts.

"Many enterprise IT professionals accept 'good enough security'. They install tools to detect malware, enforce security policy, and monitor user behavior. However sophisticated, targetable malware technology makes it difficult for security controls to defend the enterprise from organized criminal threats," said Sally Hudson, research director for Security Products at IDC. "To maintain the edge in protection, enterprises must have real time knowledge and awareness of the current malware and threats that may be attacking computers in their extended enterprise. Armed with a better understanding of the threats to the enterprise, IT professionals can concentrate on providing effective security solutions and controls that will mitigate threats, ultimately reducing fraud, data loss, and intrusions."

Availability

Offered as an outsourced, managed service, the RSA CyberCrime Intelligence Service is quickly deployed and enables organizations to minimize resource investments. The RSA CyberCrime Intelligence Service will be available worldwide by May 1, 2010. For more information, visit http://www.rsa.com/cybercrime or call RSA Product Sales at +1-800-495-1095.

About the RSA Identity Protection and Verification Suite

The RSA® Identity Protection and Verification Suite offers one of the most complete and innovative portfolios of strong authentication and anti-fraud technologies, and is engineered to protect organizations and their online users against the latest external threats. The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and managed services portfolio is designed to help increase activity in online and remote transactions, inspire user confidence, and reduce fraud losses and related costs.

3D Coverage of the Masters Leaves a Lasting Impression

SAN DIEGO, Calif., April 15 -- In a never-before-seen perspective of Augusta National Golf Club, the 2010 Masters Tournament was the first to be broadcast live in 3D, and viewers who had the opportunity to experience the next-generation technology agreed - it was impressive.

To produce the 3D images, Sony HD cameras rolled on the second nine with two hours of live afternoon 3D coverage available throughout the four tournament rounds.  Comcast used its fiber network to carry the 3D production feed to the Comcast Media Center where it was packaged for distribution to cable systems, the official Masters Web site at http://www.masters.com, as well as Sony BRAVIA 3D TV sets throughout Augusta National's grounds.

"Sony technology has been a big part of the Masters' history, and we were thrilled to be the first to shoot the tournament in 3D for the first time," said Mike Fasulo, Sony Electronics executive vice president and chief marketing officer.  "The feedback we received from those who viewed golf live and in 3D on our 3D BRAVIA TVs was overwhelming... we received a lot of 'wows,' and are excited to enhance the 3D sports experience for consumers."

"We were honored to help the Masters with their ground-breaking 3D production," said Derek Harrar, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Video and Entertainment Services for Comcast.  "The spectacular 3D images the Masters shot with Sony cameras located around the course made consumers feel like they were right in the gallery watching the world's best golfers up close."

The new Sony BRAVIA 3D TV sets will be in stores this summer.  The LX900 model, which is currently on display at Sony Style stores across the country, offers integrated 3D functionality with a built-in 3D transmitter and ships with two pair of Sony's 3D active shutter glasses, while the HX900 and HX800-series are 3D capable by adding the 3D transmitter and Sony 3D active shutter glasses (both to be sold separately).

BT and One Economy Partner to Train Youth as Broadband Ambassadors for Older Generation

Program Will Help Low Income Youth Train Older Adults On Using Technology

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. and WASHINGTON, April 15 -- BT and One Economy Corporation have joined forces to create a cross-generational, digital inclusion program aimed at equipping youth from low-income neighborhoods to support older adult family and community members on using information communications technology effectively. The goal of the digital literacy program is to help both low-income youth and older adults develop skills that will improve their lives and help them enter the economic mainstream.

In support of the digital literacy partnership, and leveraging BT's existing Internet Rangers program(1) in the UK, BT is providing One Economy with a grant of $200,000 over the course of two years to fund the development of an online platform for young people to teach adults how to use the internet.   In addition, the joint program will create volunteering opportunities for BT employees in the United States to engage with One Economy in digital literacy training at a grass-roots level.

"We are very excited to have the opportunity to expand BT's social and economic sustainability impact across to the US through this partnership," said Michael Boustridge, president, BT Global Services Multi-National Corporations.   "We believe One Economy, an established and well respected organization with a commitment to helping break down the barriers to broadband adoption, is exactly the right partner for us.  We also think the timing couldn't be better as we see our efforts reflecting the goals of the recently announced National Broadband Plan, which addresses adoption of digital literacy for the senior population."

The program will be built on the individual successes of BT's Internet Ranger's program in the UK and One Economy's "Digital Connectors"(1), a curriculum based digital literacy program that immerses low income youth in certified technology training and prepares participants to enter the 21st century workforce.

"We are delighted to collaborate with BT to launch this new program, which combines two successful models from both of our organizations to create a powerful, multi-generational digital literacy program," said Moustafa Mourad, Interim President and CEO, One Economy.  "In addition to their investment in this program, having BT employees volunteer their expertise and time to digital literacy efforts is invaluable to helping One Economy improve the lives of low income youth and older adults through the power of technology."

The grant to One Economy is part of BT's corporate Country Charity Partnership program, a company-wide global initiative and a key component of BT's global CSR program. The US program is the first in a series of four pilot programs to be sponsored by BT in various countries over the next two years, aimed at supporting community investment through education and the transfer of ICT skills - a natural fit with BT's overall CSR strategy.

Datotel Continues Growth, Moves All Employees to Downtown St. Louis

To Celebrate Move, Datotel Will Help Foster St. Louis Entrepreneurialism By Providing 10 St. Louis IT Entrepreneur Network Companies Free Cloud-Computing Technology

ST. LOUIS, April 15 -- To commemorate continued growth and the transfer of all employees to its Downtown St. Louis headquarters, Datotel, LLC, a state-of-the-art cloud-computing and colocation provider, is unveiling a program to advance St. Louis entrepreneurialism by investing more than $120,000 of free cloud-computing services to 10 IT Entrepreneur Network (ITEN) members.

Formerly housed in two offices--an administrative office in O'Fallon and the data center in Downtown St. Louis--Datotel will now be completely headquartered in the Globe Democrat building in Downtown St. Louis.  The company's 36 employees will now perform cloud-computing and colocation services, tasks and offerings of all levels from this growing single location. To dovetail with customer growth, in early April, Datotel began a major investment to double its data center's cooling infrastructure that will facilitate the addition of more cloud-computing capacity and clients.

"Moving all our employees to one location is key to the growth of Datotel's business and cloud-computing offerings," said David Brown, president of Datotel.  "Downtown has a buzz and energy that we feel is important for a tech company and part of the image we want to communicate to our customers and the public.  Our Downtown office provides more room for growth and is more centrally located for our wide variety of clients.  At the same time, to help build Downtown buzz and fulfill Datotel's core value of bettering the community in which we work, our employees plan to participate in Downtown volunteer efforts and advocate for Downtown St. Louis."

To celebrate Datotel's further evolution from a tiny, entrepreneurial start-up to a full-fledged business with national headquarters, Datotel is partnering with the IT Entrepreneur Network (ITEN) to identify 10 burgeoning companies and help their development with free cloud computing services for one year.  Each company will be eligible for $1,000 per month of Datotel's cloud-computing services for free for a total investment of $120,000 into the ITEN network of companies and St. Louis community.

"When I began Datotel six years ago as a start-up, we were like many of these companies," explained Brown.  "We scratched and clawed our way into growth, finally getting to where we are today.  Knowing how hard that can be, I want to make sure Datotel makes it easier on local start-ups to foster their own growth and the business development of our region.  I see firsthand the deeply innovative talent pool St. Louis has and I want to help it thrive."

All of ITEN's 120 members will be eligible for winning these services.  A Datotel and ITEN committee will base selection of the 10 winners on the following parameters and criteria:

  --  Quality of innovative use of technology
  --  How cloud computing services will help the company achieve its
      business goals
  --  How the company takes an active role in bettering the community in
      which we live and work

"ITEN aims to be a catalyst for the emergence of a thriving entrepreneurial community, and many of the companies in our network are gaining traction in areas such as consumer electronics, media and social networking," said Jim Brasunas, director, ITEN.  "We are excited to partner with Datotel on this new program that will go a long way to helping companies that have a lot of promise."

As companies grow, cloud computing makes it easier for them to add resources.  Cloud computing allows companies to gain access to virtualized and dynamically scalable computing resources on an as-needed basis.  For example, these resources can be as granular as pure CPU cycles provided by utility and grid computing environments or software as a service (SaaS)-based environments.  "For companies that can grow in fits and spurts like many start-ups, cloud computing is ideal," said Brown.

Datotel and ITEN will open the program for entries on April 19 and select the 10 winners in June.  Cloud computing services for each winner will then begin as soon as possible.

  For more information on the program, visit http://www.datotel.com.

CA Announces Support for Enterprise Deployment and Management of Windows 7

CA Customers Already Taking Advantage of Automated, End-to-End Processes that Enable a Seamless Transition to the New Operating System

ISLANDIA, N.Y., April 15 -- CA, Inc. (NASDAQ:CA) today announced that it is delivering support for the deployment and management of the Microsoft® Windows® 7 operating system (OS). This new capability, provided within CA's proven IT Client Manager solution, is designed to help organizations to streamline the transition to Windows 7, increase productivity, reduce risk by providing for desktop security, maintain end-user productivity, lower ongoing support issues, and to reduce the overall cost of the deployment.

"With Microsoft having announced the end of mainstream support for Windows XP, it's time for the majority of enterprises that have not yet deployed Windows 7 to make the move," said Roger Pilc, corporate senior vice president and general manager of CA's Virtualization and Service Automation Business Unit. "CA is here to help our customers achieve a seamless transition from Windows XP to Windows 7 with a solution that is designed to automate every step of the process."

Customers are already taking advantage of CA's system migration capabilities intended to enable the management, movement and maintenance of user data, settings and preferences during PC change initiatives such as a transition to Windows 7. CA IT Client Manager has a global market presence with over 1,000 customers worldwide.

"Baker Tilly was one of the earliest adopters of Windows 7, using CA's IT Client Manager to migrate over 2,000 PCs from Windows XP to an early release candidate of Windows 7 over the course of four weeks last June," explained David Hilland, deputy IT director at Baker Tilly, an independent member of Baker Tilly International, one of the world's largest networks of accounting firms. "When Windows 7 was released this year, we used CA IT Client Manager in conjunction with CA Desktop Migration Manager, which enabled us to cut migration time down to 2.5 weeks. We are very pleased with CA IT Client Manager's comprehensive approach to the system deployment process, from planning and implementation, to process management and reporting. By using CA products, we were able to reduce deployment time in half and do so with minimal impact to the users."

"For enterprises, the benefits of Windows 7-- improved security, end-user productivity and manageability -- are appealing, and organizations shouldn't balk at upgrading because of worries about complexity, time and costs," said Mauricio Ulargui, director of Windows Deployment at Microsoft Corporation. "We believe CA's automated solution can reduce transition time to a matter of days, helping save both time and money while dramatically simplifying the overall deployment process."

CA addresses every step of the Windows 7 deployment process with a comprehensive solution set and methodology based on industry best practices. Using CA, customers can better automate the strategic, business-critical processes associated with the system deployment, including:

  --  Project planning and infrastructure assessment
  --  Tracking PC inventory
  --  Enabling application compatibility assessment
  --  Creation and management of images
  --  Deployment of supplemental applications
  --  Migration of the end-users data and settings
  --  Management, servicing and reporting on the entire automated process
  --  Support for technology that helps ease the transition to Windows 7,
      including Windows XP Mode, VMware ThinApp and Microsoft App-V

Maxthon Adds GPU Rendering for Smoother Text on Web Pages

BEIJING, April 15 -- Browser developer Maxthon International this week announced a technical preview version of the upcoming Maxthon 3.0 that uses a computer's graphics processing unit (GPU), a microprocessor on a PC's graphics card, to display smoother text on Web pages.

GPU rendering will be used in conjunction with Webkit, one of two code sets that make up Maxthon 3.0's hybrid rendering engine. The engine translates a Web's page's HTML code into text and graphics displayed on the PC's screen. The other code set is Trident, used to optimize older Web pages written for Internet Explorer's vintage display standards.  Maxthon's rendering engine switches automatically between the two code interpreters depending on the type of Web page the browser is opening.

http://blog.maxthon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/1.jpg

The accompanying illustration's enlargements show that fonts are noticeably smoother and cleaner with GPU rendering enabled, particularly on curves and diagonal lines.

Jeff Chen, CEO of Maxthon, said the current implementation of GPU rendering is merely an initial step. The final version will be more powerful and will support more features, Chen said.

GPU rendering is widely used in Windows applications, but it is fairly new to Web browsers. The only two other browsers known to use GPU rendering are Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox. Essentially the technology uses the power of the graphics processor to display Web page graphics and text using, respectively, the Direct2D and DirectWrite Windows APIs. Web pages look better and load faster as a result.

Almost a year after the initial release of Maxthon 3.0 Alpha, Maxthon has just released the final Alpha version and will soon officially move to the Beta stage. Chen said Maxthon had not rushed features during the Alpha stage but focused on the foundations supporting the program and worked on various aspects of Webkit, including the implementation of GPU rendering.

Developed by FINCAD's global team of derivatives experts, the FINCAD Online Educational Program is a complimentary offering to inform and help treasurers across the globe mitigate their derivative risk.

The program includes an ongoing series of webinars, videos and whitepapers created by FINCAD and industry experts in the financial market on current industry trends, necessary best practices on topics including counterparty risk exposure, transparency, and the impact of pending regulatory changes (IFRS 7) and existing regulations such as FAS 157 and IAS 39.

Register for the webinar today.

"We understand that now more than ever, having the right tools and knowledge on how to best manage financial risk is critical to the success of companies, yet training time and budgets are very limited," said Bob Park, President and CEO, FINCAD.  "We're committed to equipping corporate financial professionals with critical information and strategies for best practices in financial risk management.  The online nature of our program provides ease of access and allows treasuries to leverage our complimentary training materials at their convenience."

SRS Labs Delivers Industry's First Audio Solution Designed Specifically for New 3D HDTVs

New SRS CircleCinema 3D Delivers Three-Dimensional Audio, Completing Next-Generation Entertainment Experience

SANTA ANA, Calif., April 15 -- SRS Labs (NASDAQ: SRSL), the industry leader in surround sound, audio, and voice technologies, today introduced CircleCinema(TM) 3D, an advanced audio solution designed specifically to complete the 3D HDTV experience.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070322/LATH036LOGO)

CircleCinema 3D is the first new audio solution designed and developed exclusively at SRS' state-of-the-art Advanced Rendering Lab (ARL(TM)). To deliver 3D audio, ARL engineers equipped CircleCinema 3D with the ability to render an immersive three-dimensional soundstage utilizing a combination of state-of-the-art SRS surround and adaptive tuning technologies. The resulting audio performance is distinctively more immersive with wider surround and a significantly more natural positioning of audio for both 2D and 3D content.

"Having the opportunity to enjoy a theater-like 3D experience in the home is quickly capturing the imagination of people everywhere," said Allen H. Gharapetian, Vice President of Marketing for SRS Labs. "Nevertheless, it's immediately apparent that a stunning 3D picture needs to be accompanied by equally stunning 3D audio, so we took the challenge seriously and came up with a new approach to bring realistically natural 3D audio to our TV manufacturing partners and make it possible for them to deliver on the promise of the true in-home three-dimensional entertainment experience."

SRS' Advanced Rendering Lab is dedicated to developing a series of new audio solutions geared to go well beyond traditional "surround sound" producing 3D audio as remarkably vivid as 3D video. The first of a series of advanced 3D audio solutions, SRS CircleCinema 3D is aimed for today's 3D televisions and is available for immediate deployment from several leading SoC platform providers.

With over 250 million SRS-enabled flat panel TVs shipped worldwide since the beginning of 2001 and 19 out of top 20 TV brands using a wide variety of SRS audio technologies today in their HDTVs, SRS occupies a unique position in the industry as the de facto standard in TV audio. And, with nearly 150 granted and pending audio processing patents including specific patents for elevating the sound image and optimizing center channel performance, SRS is the most experienced and innovative audio company in the market capable of addressing the challenges associated with delivering a real 3D audio experience for the upcoming 3D TVs.

SRS CircleCinema 3D intuitively makes it possible for HDTV audio to keep pace, step-for-step, with its high-definition visual counterpart by delivering unmatched crisp and clear surround audio through the TV's pre-installed speaker set or through multi-channel home theater speaker systems. Matching SRS' hallmark performance standards, CircleCinema 3D allows end-users to enjoy an immersive audio experience with powerful bass and crystal clear dialog.

Several DTV SoC providers including Broadcom Corporation, Cirrus Logic and MediaTek will support and implement CircleCinema 3D. A recent industry study conducted by CEA estimated 4.5 million 3D TVs will ship by the end of 2010. And, while 3D TVs require consumers to wear special 3D glasses to view the 3D content, SRS CircleCinema 3D achieves its 3D audio performance without the need for any additional audio gear.

Cardo Systems Launches the scala rider(R) G4(TM) PowerSet Bluetooth(R) Intercom System - TWO HEADSETS INCLUDED

Operational in Minutes, With TWO Factory-Paired, Bluetooth STEREO Headsets for Bike to Bike Intercom Communication Up to One Mile* Right Out of the Box!

PITTSBURGH, April 15 -- Cardo Systems, Inc., the world's market leader in wireless Bluetooth communications for motorcycle helmet headsets, today launched the brand new scala rider® G4(TM) PowerSet, an intercom communication system featuring two factory-paired units of the most feature-rich bike-to-bike Bluetooth headsets on the market.  The system contains two scala rider G4 headsets, for bike to bike intercom communication up to one mile* -creating a new industry standard.  With the addition of a third paired G4 unit, three separate bikers can talk to each other as well.  Two scala rider G4 PowerSet systems, four headsets in total, can be used together in full duplex intercom communication between two couples on two bikes traveling within a distance of up to one mile between each other.

Right out of the box, bikers can start communicating using the paired devices, creating a safe, convenient and enjoyable communication experience. In addition to intercom communication, Each G4 can connect with virtually any portable Bluetooth device including mobile phones, MP3 players and compatible GPS units (for in-helmet voice instructions).  It can also connect with non-Bluetooth MP3 players and GPS units via its embedded jack, and the entire line of scala rider headsets.**  Both can transmit STEREO music from any MP3 player with A2DP capability. Incoming intercom messages and mobile phone calls automatically override MP3 music. Each G4 headset can be actively connected to one Bluetooth device and two other scala rider headsets at one time.

"The brand new scala rider G4 PowerSet increases the range that motorcyclists can enjoy speaking with each other and also extends the number of bikers who can speak on intercom at once with full duplex," said Abraham Glezerman, CEO of Cardo Systems, Inc. "The pair of headsets included in this package is packed with features that our customers have requested."

Each scala rider G4 comes equipped with a built-in FM radio with RDS, empowering riders with the ability to scan and seek stations and to save favorites utilizing the six-station channel memory. Voice-recognition (for answering, dialing or rejecting calls), multilingual spoken status announcements (to report incoming and outgoing connections) and AGC technology for automatic volume adjustments (based on ambient noise and driving speed) all contribute to completely hands-free communication and enjoyment.

Working with virtually all motorcycle helmets, the scala rider G4 PowerSet is available with noise-canceling microphones for the highest communication quality. The devices' rechargeable li-polymer batteries allow for up to 10 hours of talk-time and 7-days standby time.

The new scala rider G4 PowerSet is now available through select distributors, retail outlets, specialty motorcycle shops, and directly from the Cardo Systems web site at http://www.cardosystems.com with a suggested retail price of $489.95.

Mobilefilmworks(TM) Releases Beta Streaming Service for Indie Movies to Mobile

Available on PC, Blackberry, Android, iPhone and the iPad

ATLANTA, April 15 -- Mobile entertainment firm Mobilefilmworks, Inc. debuts today its beta service that makes instant streaming of full-length feature movies available on-demand to millions of mobile phone users. Mobilefilmworks(TM) is now available via the mobile web on all four major U.S. carriers and initially across 30 different handset devices, including the iPhone, Droid, Blackberry, Palm, Windows Mobile and many high-end feature phones, potentially reaching over 250 million subscribers.

The highly anticipated Mobilefilmworks(TM) product has been in development for the last year. During this time, Mobilefilmworks perfected the streaming technology, security and inked deals with Film Festivals, and Film Makers.

To access Mobilefilmworks(TM), consumers go to m.mobilefilmworks.com on their phone, and use a credit card to rent and stream individual movies. Then they simply use their phone's web browser to access the movie instantly, no need to wait for download or syncing to a PC. Mobilefilmworks(TM) Movies selection of films includes titles from emerging independent film makers from around the world.

"Mobilefilmworks(TM) is one of the first companies to give mass audiences instant access to quality, full-length independent movies on their cell phones," said Mobilefilmworks, Inc. CEO Jeannie Collins. "This is made possible through technology we developed and the relationships we've created with film festivals, and distributors. We're also able to offer all of our rich media services to recently released iPad, and the huge number of consumers who carry other mobile handsets."

Demand for instant mobile entertainment continues to grow. According to market research firm Gartner, smart-phone sales topped 40 million units in the U.S. for second quarter 2009, a year-over-year increase of 27 percent. Mobilefilmworks(TM) own extensive user testing and consumer surveys reveal strong consumer demand for instant streaming Mobile Movies: 78% of respondents were more likely to use a mobile movie service that doesn't require any downloads or wait time. 74% said it would frustrate them to have to wait 10 minutes or longer for a mobile download.

At launch, Mobilefilmworks(TM) has agreements with Film Festivals and Film Makers that grant them the rights to allow streaming movies, as well as access to both new releases and past movies.

  Notes for Editors

uniPaaS is an application platform enabling Enterprises and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to deliver business applications with minimal project risk and associated costs.

Business-Ready Application Development

uniPaaS' ready-made business application engine (metadata engine) allows developers to bypass the intensive code-writing stage and move more quickly and cost-efficiently to a full business application delivery. This results in fewer project failures and more ability to meet budget and timeline requirements.

Multiple Deployment Capability

With uniPaaS, developers can build an application once and then deploy in multiple modes, including; desktop, client/server, HTML web applications and web 2.0 rich internet applications. Multiple application versions can be more cost-effectively maintained as they are based on the same single development effort and codebase.

Mobile Application Support

The latest versions of uniPaaS make Windows Mobile access to RIA and SaaS as easy as Desktop access. This improves application availability for employees working out of the office. Mobile access also allows technicians and field staff using hand-held computing devices to directly access their business applications and be constantly connected to the organization's back-end systems.

Full .NET integration

With full .NET integration for PC's and mobile devices, uniPaaS enables enterprise IT departments and ISVs to create rich internet business applications that maximize the capabilities of the client platform user interface while providing complete connectivity to external devices and easier re-use of existing .NET code and assemblies.

iBOLT is a code-free business and process integration suite. The product works natively with systems such as SAP Business One, SAP Business All in One, SAP R/3, Salesforce.com, Oracle JD Edwards, IBM i applications and databases (AS/400), Lotus Notes applications, forms and databases, Health Care systems using HL7, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Microsoft Sharepoint, EDI systems, and many more. iBOLT has won SAP's quality and innovation awards for three consecutive years, from 2006 to 2008.

DediPower Offers ISVs Access to Private Cloud, Hybrid and Traditional Managed Hosting Solutions

READING, England, April 15, 2010--

and Boost Their End User SLAs

ISVs realise that their services must extend beyond software applications to
include the hosting platforms on which they will be delivered," comments
Craig Martin, CEO of DediPower. "Only by doing so can they ensure the uptime
and availability that will make their solution a success."

    He adds, "We provide the expert knowledge and best of breed hosting
solutions to help ISVs fast track their way to SaaS and Managed Private Cloud
- and we do it with a passion for support. We operate as an extension of the
ISVs service embracing their business as our own. Trust is a key component
and - with twelve years of experience and a 99% client retention - DediPower
can be relied on to maintain the same pride in delivery as the ISVs
themselves."

solutions offer the highest levels of scalability, availability and
performance possible. DediPower allows full scale hosting platforms to be
delivered in short time frames and to stringent budgets.

    Whether developing solutions for sales, accounting, human resources,
creative, CRM or web based applications, DediPower's team of systems
architects can custom design the best server and storage solutions whether it
be a traditional configuration, a fully Managed Private Cloud or a hybrid of
the two.

    For business critical applications, DediPower also operates two dedicated
data-centres, in parallel, from separate locations linked via a high speed
fibre optic cable to provide full off-site back-up. This ensures real-time
disaster recovery, 100% availability and zero unplanned downtime.

Toshiba Introduces Highest-Capacity Automotive-Grade HDD to Support Demand for Advanced In-Vehicle Storage

200GB Small Form Factor HDD Sets a New Industry Standard, Targeting the Increasing Capacity Needs of In-Vehicle and Industrial Applications

IRVINE, Calif., April 14 -- Toshiba Storage Device Division (SDD), the pioneer in small form factor hard disk drives (HDDs), today strengthened its position as the world's leading manufacturer of automotive-grade HDDs by introducing a new HDD with 200 gigabytes(1) (GB) of storage capacity in a single-platter design.

(Photo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100414/SF86973)

The 4,200 RPM SATA MK2060GSC is the highest-capacity automotive-grade HDD available and provides vehicle systems manufacturers with the high-capacity storage needed to improve telematics, navigation and entertainment systems, particularly as these systems are being designed to communicate with information and content sources outside the car.  This high-capacity automotive storage line will enable carmakers and aftermarket vendors to deliver an improved in-vehicle user experience, while enhancing driver safety.

This introduction builds on Toshiba's existing automotive product line. As of March 2010, Toshiba has shipped 14 million automotive-grade HDDs to the worldwide market, and had 75 percent global market share(2) for shipments in 2009, according to the company's internal sales data. In addition, IDC has forecast that more classes of automobiles will increasingly offer factory in-dashboard infotainment systems that provide audio, video and a variety of navigation information to passengers beginning in model year 2012(3). Consumer desire for multimedia applications and navigation systems integrated into cars has fueled demand for high-capacity HDDs, ensuring migration of these applications beyond the premium vehicle market and into the mainstream.

The MK2060GSC targets telematics and infotainment applications, in which proven performance and capacity are critical.  This product line represents a significant innovation in commercial automotive-grade HDD technology, as it doubles the maximum storage capacity available. Other technical benefits to systems manufacturers include a 78 percent improvement in internal transfer rates compared to equivalent products on the market, as well as a faster seek time of 12 milliseconds and extremely quiet "silent seek" operation of 23dB. These features make the MK2060GSC ideal for multimedia, navigation and in-vehicle video recording applications, which require a combination of high storage capacities and rapid data recall.

In addition to its high capacity, the MK2060GSC offers exceptional reliability. This HDD can withstand altitude variations of -300 to 12,000 meters during non-operating and -300 to 5,650 meters while operating, as well as operating temperatures of -30 to +85°C.  The new HDD also delivers high levels of operating shock resistance and enhanced vibration resistance.  Consequently, telematics systems manufacturers deploying this product in high-quality cars can be confident their products will function normally, despite extreme environmental conditions.

"The next generation of automobile infotainment, connectivity and location-awareness applications will require more innovation and undoubtedly higher storage capacity," said Scott Wright, product manager for Toshiba Storage Device Division. "Our commitment to sustain continued advancement in this product category continues to position Toshiba as the leader for storage components.  We are ideally positioned to provide vehicle systems manufacturers with the high-quality, reliable storage technology they need to capitalize on an evolving market opportunity."

In addition to the MK2060GSC, Toshiba also debuts the MK1060GSC as part of this automotive-grade product series, offering 100GB of storage capacity. All of Toshiba's automotive-grade HDDs are suitable for use in many industrial applications requiring extended temperature tolerance. Continuing Toshiba's commitment to reducing environmental impact, these HDDs are fully compliant with RoHS regulation and are halogen-free.

Information and Availability

Toshiba's MKxxGSC series will be commercially available in the third quarter of 2010 for industrial distribution and OEMs. These HDDs are currently being sampled to selected partners for qualification.  For more information on Toshiba's line of industry-leading small form factor hard drives, visit http://www.toshibastorage.com.

Cross-browser Compatibility Provides Seamless Experience for DATATRAK eClinical(TM) on the Apple(R) iPad(TM)

CLEVELAND, April 14 -- DATATRAK International, Inc. (OTCQX: DATA), a technology and services company focused on global eClinical solutions for the clinical trials industry, today announced DATATRAK eClinical's(TM) compatibility with Apple's® iPad(TM).

DATATRAK eClinical(TM) is designed to meet web standards for cross-browser capability.  DATATRAK's vision and continued investment in product development have made DATATRAK eClinical(TM) a seamless experience on the recent Apple® iPad(TM) release.  An iPad(TM) browser and Internet connection will provide an end user with access to DATATRAK eClinical's(TM) full array of functionality - randomization, drug inventory management, data collection, medical coding and reporting.  The new mobile iPad(TM) provides a lightweight and easily accessible alternative for data entry; thus, clinical trial data can be collected directly from the patient's bed side.  Leveraged in this manner, DATATRAK eClinical(TM) could displace many of today's ePRO solutions as patient diary data can now be collected in the same system as clinical data eliminating the need to synchronize devices with databases.

"The iPad(TM) is being touted as the device to revolutionize medicine; its possibilities in data collection, imaging and education are numerous.  DATATRAK eClinical(TM) was designed, from inception, to provide cross-browser compatibility, thus ensuring it functions seamlessly across standard web browsers - regardless of the device," stated Laurence Birch, DATATRAK's Chairman of the Board.  "The iPad's(TM) mobility and low cost suggest eventual widespread acceptance within the clinical trials industry and is expected to result in cost savings across the drug development process.  As a unified eClinical Research Suite built for the web, we expect DATATRAK eClinical(TM) to be an integral part of this game changing phenomenon."

About DATATRAK International, Inc.

We operate under the vision of DATATRAK ONE(TM), which encompasses our unique, single platform technology.
