Systech International and Domino Printing Sciences plc Collaborate to Deliver Solutions for French CIP13 Requirements

Integrated vision inspection and print and verify solution enables manufacturers to comply with today's mandates as well as future global serialization regulations

CRANBURY, N.J., March 25 -- Systech International, innovator of Packaging Execution Systems (PES), and Domino Printing Sciences plc, a leader in ink jet, thermal, laser, and print and apply technologies, today announced that their integrated offering will enable pharmaceutical manufacturers to address French CIP13 requirements as well as future global serialization regulations.

French CIP13 requires all pharmaceutical products distributed in France to have a data matrix barcode that incorporates the CIP13 code, a batch number, and an expiration date by December 31, 2010.  Systech and Domino's collaboration, which combines Systech's vision inspection solution with Domino's new print and verify solution, provides manufacturers with the new technology necessary to successfully meet these requirements.

"Systech and Domino are committed to working together to deliver integrated solutions that manufacturers can continually leverage when confronting diverse global demands," said Frederic Menardo, General Manger, Systech Europe.  "Our solutions have been deployed by leading manufacturers worldwide, giving us the experience and industry knowledge necessary for successful implementation."

In addition to meeting today's French CIP13 demands, the Systech and Domino collaboration can also address emerging global serialization directives.  Systech's vision inspection solution, Systech Sentri, is a component of Systech's productized Packaging Execution System platform and seamlessly integrates with Systech's Serialized Product Tracking (SPT) application.  Moreover, Domino's print and verify offering can be integrated into a serialization solution, such as Systech's SPT, that encompasses item level marking, case and pallet aggregation, and bi-directional communication with the enterprise IT infrastructure.  This combined offering provides manufacturers with a solution that prepares manufacturers for the future while controlling their total cost of ownership.

"Systech and Domino have had a strong working relationship for a number of years and each has become a market leader," stated Craig Stobie, Global Healthcare Sector Manager at Domino.  "Both organizations have built close relationships with our customers and therefore understand the complex packaging challenges that they confront daily.  That is why we have been successful in working together to provide manufacturers with effective solutions that enable them to meet their business needs."

PMG Expands Role of Service Catalog to Automate the IT Aspect of Employee Life Cycle Management

Streamlining Employee Onboarding, Offboarding, and Contractor Management Fuels Continued Growth of Service Catalog Provider

ATLANTA, March 25 -- PMG.net Inc., the technology leader for service request and fulfillment automation solutions, today announced several successful deployments of its flagship Service Catalog Suite to automate IT and HR processes for global companies. New clients include Brown-Forman and Gibson Energy.

Seeking ways to manage their employee onboarding, employee offboarding, contractor management, and user provisioning while reducing costs and increasing efficiencies, these clients found success with PMG's Service Catalog Suite (PMG SCS). By leveraging PMG SCS--a powerful software solution that combines the best features of e-commerce, Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), and Business Process Management (BPM)--these companies found an easy, cost-effective approach for automating HR business processes.

"Brown-Forman's IT Security department has always received new hire and termination notices from our HR system, but they were distributed across the organization manually.  In addition, user access, whether it was enabling or disabling user accounts, was also done manually," said Nancy Burns, Brown-Forman's PMG implementation manager. "With the PMG products, we've successfully developed workflow that will route the notices to the appropriate administrators and we've even automated some of the user account management. PMG has helped us cross the functional boundaries in a consistent and automated manner."

After evaluating diverse product offerings from HR-specific solutions, identity management tools, BPM, and other service catalog solutions, these customers found that PMG SCS had a more comprehensive offering. PMG SCS provides the best mix of features to automate HR processes that involve online forms, complex approvals, localized work and business rules, compliance, and provisioning workflows.

"PMG's unique mix of world-class technologies has found a new niche with HR management and IT/IS professionals alike. Only PMG provides the flexibility and configurability necessary to achieve the dynamic, intuitive online forms and workflow required for complex HR processes," said Joe LeCompte, a PMG principal. "This economy has put global workforces in flux, making it imperative for companies to seek innovative solutions for their employee and contractor management challenges."

A recent ComputerWorld article cited Service Catalogs in the top 5 IT Management "must-haves" for 2010.  "PMG's solution consistently delivers an extremely rapid return on investment for IT departments. It's no wonder that other business units like HR want to enjoy those benefits as well," concluded LeCompte.

The benefits of Service Catalogs achieved by IT shops are very similar to other internal service-providing departments of a company. Other shared services groups like HR, facilities, telecommunications, legal, and finance are discovering the same value and are actively embracing service portfolio management technology to automate and streamline manual processes.

PMG offers the most comprehensive, yet flexible and easy to use multi-lingual service portfolio management solution available.  PMG's service request and fulfillment suite leverages deep experience in e-Commerce, portal deployment and collaboration. This solution is the combination of:

  --  PMG iRequest: an e-Commerce online catalog and request system
  --  PMG iDeliver: a BPM suite providing powerful design, EAI, and workflow
  --  PMG iCollaborate®: a content management and collaboration engine

PMG's built-in connectors provide out-of-the-box integrations with SAP, PeopleSoft, Microsoft SharePoint, Active Directory, Sun Identity Manager, LDAP, e-mail, and most leading help desk applications such as BMC Remedy and Service Desk Express, CA Service Desk, HP Service Center/Manager, IBM Maximo, Microsoft SCCM, Numara Footprints, Marval and numerous others.

PMG is the technology leader in the rapidly growing market for IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL)-compliant Service Catalog software. More than 500,000 IT professionals worldwide have become ITIL certified.

Hydra Awarded Exclusive Deal in New Player Acquisitions for Meteor Games

Leading Performance-Based Digital Ad Platform Signs Up Top Social Gaming Company as Both Advertiser and Exclusive Publishing Partner

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., March 25 -- Hydra, operator of the largest performance based multichannel digital advertising platform, has signed an exclusive deal with social gaming leader Meteor Games to manage its new player acquisition efforts on Facebook as well as oversee the company's rapidly expanding ad inventory of approximately 600,000,000 monthly impressions.

"With an over 8 million-strong user base all acquired through organic growth, Meteor has proven mass appeal in social gaming," said Zac Brandenberg, CEO of Hydra Group.  "Hydra's ability to deliver not only mass reach but qualified results as well will allow us to scale their user base even further to help Meteor capture a greater share of this soon-to-be $2 billion industry."

Hydra, as the largest performance based multichannel digital advertising platform, drives upwards of 1,000,000 new customers a month for premium Internet advertisers.  Through Hydra's proprietary ad distribution platform, which includes Hydra Network and the company's own internal media distribution groups, Meteor Games is looking to aggressively grow its user base on a risk-free, cost-per-action model.

Meteor is also looking to Hydra to help monetize its sizeable user base. As part of the deal struck between the two companies, Meteor will serve as an exclusive publishing partner to Hydra Network. This gives Hydra advertisers access to the 600 million monthly ad impressions Meteor delivers through its social media games.

California-based Meteor Games was founded in 2007 by the creators of Internet phenomenon Neopets, one of the largest online gaming destinations for kids with over 45 million users worldwide. Meteor Games operates one of Facebook's most popular social games, Island Paradise. To date, the company has signed up over 8 million players, acquired almost entirely through viral growth alone. Through this new partnership with Hydra, Meteor Games is aiming to take the next step towards scaling their leading social games.

"Given their proven experience in driving new customer acquisitions, we could think of no better partner than Hydra to help introduce new players to our growing suite of games," said Adam Powell, CEO of Meteor Games. "Plus their stable of premium advertisers provides us with an exceptional opportunity to monetize our audience base without alienating users."

Majesco Entertainment Announces 'Diamond Trust of London' for Nintendo DS(TM) and DSi(TM)

The First Nintendo DS Game Developed by Indy Talent Jason Rohrer Puts Players at the Center of Africa's Diamond Trade

EDISON, N.J., March 25 -- Secret dealings and espionage define Africa's illicit diamond trade. Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ:COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, puts players right in the middle of the chaos in its newest product for Nintendo DS(TM) and Nintendo DSi(TM) systems -- Diamond Trust of London. The battle to strip Angola of its valuable diamonds has reached fever pitch as only eight months remain until the United Nations starts regulating the sale of these rough precious gems. While controlling one of the last two underground companies operating in the region, players launch into a bidding war, racing against the clock and each other. Developed by award-winning video game designer Jason Rohrer, the title exposes the cutthroat nature of the diamond trade to a new generation of gamers.

In Diamond Trust of London, players lead opposing teams of agents traveling to Angola's six finest diamond-producing regions to buy diamonds to sell in the world's two major trading hubs: London and Antwerp. Taking place across eight rounds, the two-player, turn-based strategy title lets them play against AI or via a two-player local wireless connection between two nearby Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi(TM) units. Players will engage in subversions such as bribery, salary wars and clandestine diamond bids to gain the upper hand. They must be wary, however, as agents can be bribed -- and counter-bribed -- to the point where no one can be trusted. In addition, the Nintendo DSi(TM) camera adds another layer to bribery as players snap pictures of opponents or engage in facial bluffing as they spy on competitors.

Diamond Trust of London is expected to release this summer for Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi. The game is currently available for pre-order at http://www.GameStop.com. For additional information about Majesco's exciting line of products, please visit http://www.majescoentertainment.com.

AT&T Investment in Indiana Network Aimed at Enhancing Mobile Broadband Service Across the State

Plans Call for Upgrading More than 160 Sites to 3G and Adding Eight New Cell Sites

SOUTH BEND, Ind., March 25 -- AT&T* today unveiled its Indiana wireless network investment plans for 2010, which include upgrading more than 160 cell sites to 3G throughout the state and the addition of eight cell sites to provide customers with an improved experience and increased wireless footprint in Indiana.

More than 75 of the cell sites being upgraded this year are a result of AT&T transitioning 200 former Centennial sites to the AT&T network. As the Centennial network assets are integrated throughout 2010, 3G mobile broadband service and additional 850 MHz spectrum will become available in new markets, helping AT&T meet its goals of providing faster speeds and better in-building coverage.

"Investment in the state's broadband networks is critical to keeping Indiana competitive and providing our citizens with the best technology," said Sen. Ryan Mishler. "More consumers are depending on wireless technology to access the Internet and this will help them stay connected."

Today's announcement is part of AT&T's ongoing investment following passage of the Telecom and Video Reform Act (HEA 1279) that was signed into law by Gov. Mitch Daniels in 2006. From 2006 through 2009, AT&T's total capital investment in its Indiana wireless and wireline networks was more than $1.3 billion. From 2006 through 2009, AT&T's wireless network investment in Indiana was nearly $300 million. Last year, AT&T added more than 20 new cell sites across the state and upgraded more than 80 existing sites to 3G.

The planned wireless network enhancement strategy is part of AT&T's 2010 wireline and wireless capital investment, which is expected to be in the $18 billion to $19 billion range companywide, an increase of between 5 and 10 percent over 2009. This planned amount also includes an increase of about $2 billion in capital expenditures for wireless and backhaul related to AT&T's wireless network. This planned level of investment is framed by the expectation that regulatory and legislative decisions relating to the telecom sector will continue to be sensitive to investment.

"As the telecom providers continue to invest in our communities, that means they are continuing to provide good paying jobs to working families," said Rep. David Niezgodski. "This is good news for consumers and skilled labor."

"Investment in next-generation broadband technologies is essential for us to keep our competitive standing in the country and around the world," said Sen. Joe Zakas. "Connectivity opens doors to new opportunities for consumers and business owners."

Internet usage growth has brought tremendous benefits, but it requires tremendous investments in infrastructure. This significant investment in infrastructure and jobs is possible due to policy that enables companies to compete and offer the innovative services that consumers are increasingly demanding. AT&T has been working with policy makers to support a national broadband plan that enables broadband adoption and ensures broadband access to every American by 2014.

"Our investments in smart networks are enabling the innovation of today and tomorrow that will enhance economic growth and stimulate jobs," said AT&T Indiana President George S. Fleetwood. "We applaud Gov. Daniels and the Indiana General Assembly for creating an environment that encourages companies like ours to continue to invest aggressively in Indiana."

Wireless data traffic on the AT&T network has grown more than 5,000 percent over the past three years, largely attributed to today's advanced smartphones that are generating dramatically increasing volumes of network traffic. In fact, roughly 40 percent of AT&T's postpaid customer base uses a smartphone today, representing twice the number of smartphone customers than any other U.S. provider.

"We're seeing advanced smartphones driving up to 10 times the amount of usage of other devices on average," said Brian Ducharme, vice president and general manager for AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets in Indiana. "Despite these unprecedented increases in wireless data traffic, AT&T's network investments and upgrades have enabled us to continue to deliver the nation's fastest 3G network."

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 this year and in 2011 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.

The backhaul upgrades are also a key step in the evolution toward next-generation LTE mobile broadband technology. AT&T is designing its new backhaul deployments to accommodate both faster 3G and future LTE deployments. AT&T currently plans to begin trials of LTE technology this year, and to begin LTE deployment in 2011, matching industry time lines for broader availability of compelling devices and supporting network equipment.

AT&T's 3G mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most open and widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T offers 3G data roaming in more than 115 countries, as well as voice calling in more than 220 countries. The technology also provides customers the ability to talk and surf the Internet at the same time.

AT&T is also an industry leader in Wi-Fi with the nation's largest Wi-Fi network, which complements its wired broadband and wireless 3G networks, offering Wi-Fi connectivity in more than 20,000 U.S. hotspots -- including retail stores and restaurants from coast-to-coast. A full list of AT&T Wi-Fi locations is available at http://www.attwifi.com.

AT&T operates more than 70 AT&T-owned retail locations in Indiana. AT&T's products and services are also available at a number of other authorized dealers and national retail locations.

APPCON(TM) 2010 Session Lineup Covers Mobile Apps From All Angles

World's Only App-Centric, Vendor-Neutral Conference Offers Comprehensive Tracks for App Developers, IT Experts and Entrepreneurs

LAS VEGAS, March 25 -- Organizers of APPCON(TM), the world's only mobile App-centric forum, today released the lineup for its August event featuring more than 40 educational sessions covering all aspects of the mobile App market. The sessions promise to deliver the most comprehensive, vendor-neutral look at the leading and emerging mobile App trends at a practical and technical level to provide the foundation required to move mobile App development to the next level.

Organized into three tracks--App development, IT integration and the business of Apps--the APPCON(TM) educational program covers Apps for all vendors and platforms, providing a more holistic approach to technical proficiency and market opportunities than other platform-specific events offer.

"Most of the sessions are cross-platform to provide a broad overview of the development and business environment surrounding each," said Jeff Pressman, COO of ConvExx, a full-service show and event production company based in Las Vegas that is co-producing the event. "But, there will also be specific sessions on timely topics, like beginner and advanced development for the iPad, that offer a deeper dive into the technical aspects for the specific platform."

Unique to APPCON(TM) is the entrepreneurial twist to the program. The App business is exploding, with many players in the game--from indie developers and larger App shops to enterprise businesses and big brands looking to leverage the mobile movement to grow their business. APPCON(TM) sessions blend these perspectives with topics that range from 2D/3D barcoding, game development, HTML5, augmented reality, security concerns, mapping Apps and multimedia integration.

  Session tracks include:
  --  Developer: technical sessions for developers, architects and technical
      managers covering location-based services, cross-platform integration
      and gaming.
  --  IT: technical/management sessions for IT experts evaluating, designing
      or implementing mobile support in the enterprise, with topics
      including MS Exchange integration, mobile App security and compliance
      issues.
  --  Business: sessions covering the business, legal, sales, marketing and
      other aspects, including a special focus on small businesses and
      startups.

Case studies will also be presented to highlight best practices and success in mobile App development and integration.

"APPCON(TM) is a great place for established or aspiring App developers to build their essential skill set to meet the growing demand for innovative, exciting Apps and advance their career," said Bryan Scott, CEO of Taptopia, a global provider of mobile technology solutions for event organizers, convention centers and their related vendors. "And, the event gives developers and business leaders the opportunity to network and explore potential partnerships for business development."

APPCON(TM) attendees can choose a single track and attend most or all sessions within that area, or they may pick and choose sessions of interest from any track offered.

Another unique feature to APPCON(TM) is the Fast Pitch program that is half social event, half App showcase. Fast Pitch marries business with pleasure, featuring cocktails, food and as many six-minute App demos as possible in one evening.

A Hackathon contest is also part of the program, pitting developer teams against one another in a battle for App supremacy. Through a partnership with one of the world's most innovative robotics companies, APPCON(TM) participants will be able to get their hands on the latest robotic gear and have a chance to win prizes for their App coding prowess.

Attending or exhibiting at APPCON(TM) is inexpensive, with all-inclusive packages covering booth space and conference registration fees for one set price. Rooms at the Paris Hotel start at just $69 a night, and rooms at the connecting Bally's Resort start at just $49.

For exhibitor information, download the APPCON(TM) Exhibitor Prospectus or contact Jonathan Papesh at 702-450-7662 x240 or by email at jpapesh@appconlv.com.

FreeWave Technologies' Expert Dan Paladino to Speak at the Second Annual Mile High Industrial and Automation Conference

Paladino will discuss how to stretch your wireless IO network to gain cost savings

BOULDER, Colo., March 25 --
  WHO:      Dan Paladino
            Business Development Manager
            FreeWave Technologies, Inc.
            (http://www.freewave.com)

             With FreeWave since 2003, Dan Paladino has more than 10 years
             experience working with users of wireless technology in
             multiple industries, including: irrigation, various power
             generation systems, water/wastewater, SCADA and metering. At
             FreeWave, Paladino is responsible for new market development,
             business-to-business and OEM development and growth. Prior
             to joining the company, Paladino was an independent consultant
             to organizations using wireless technology to meter and sub-
             metering electric, water and natural gas. Additionally,
             Paladino co-owned a technology development company and also
             held managerial and product development positions within
             Fortune 100 medical device manufacturing and supply companies.

             Founded in 1993, FreeWave Technologies is a world leader in the
             innovative design and manufacture of license-free spread
             spectrum and licensed band radios and wireless data solutions
             that are trusted for mission critical applications around the
             world. (http://www.freewave.com).

  WHAT:     "Stretching Wireless IO throughout Your Infrastructure"

             Wireless IO offers substantial and measurable cost savings in
             terms of engineering, installation and logistics as well as
             dramatic improvements in the frequency, currency and
             reliability of field data collection. In fact, asset
             information now is available from applied and embedded sensory
             points enabling sophisticated diagnostics, remote monitoring
             and control and plant optimization. As a result, companies now
             can realize the true potential of their production assets with
             the emergence of this wireless field infrastructure by having
             dependable access to timely information to establish and
             maintain excellent situational awareness of their operations.

             This presentation will explore how attendees can stretch their
             wireless IO throughout their infrastructure not only to
             maximize their investments, but also to yield greater, more
             effective communication within their networks.

AT&T Expands Mobile Broadband Coverage in Rocky Ridge

New Cell Site Activated as Part of Ongoing AT&T Investment in Pennsylvania's Local Wireless Network

HARRISBURG, Pa., March 25 -- As part of its continuing network investment to support growing demand for advanced mobile devices and applications, AT&T* today announced the activation of a new 3G cell site in Rocky Ridge that will enhance coverage for area residents and businesses along Routes 94 and 4040, as well as in the Borough of Dillsburg, the town of Boiling Springs and neighboring areas of South Middleton and Carroll Townships. With 3G speeds, AT&T customers can surf the Web, download files faster, and enjoy the very latest interactive mobile applications.

The new cell site is one part of AT&T's ongoing efforts to drive innovation and extend its 3G wireless network - the fastest in the nation, according to independent testing. It is also part of AT&T's ongoing investment in Pennsylvania to build the broadband networks that will fuel economic growth and create jobs, and enable its customers to quickly access the content, applications and services that matter most to them. From 2007 to 2009, AT&T invested more than $725 million in Pennsylvania's wired and wireless networks.

"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 J. Michael Schweder, president, AT&T Pennsylvania. "That's why we're continuing to invest in our wireless network in Rocky Ridge and across the Commonwealth."

"The AT&T 3G network opens the door to a new era of advanced mobile services, devices and feature-rich content. With 3G speeds, you can surf the Web, download files faster than ever, and enjoy the very latest interactive mobile applications," added Dan Lafond, vice president and general manager for AT&T in eastern and central Pennsylvania.

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.

AT&T's 3G mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most open and widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T offers 3G data roaming in more than 115 countries, as well as voice calling in more than 220 countries.

Commetrex Announces FoIP 'Breakthrough'

Company Says TDM Success Rates Achieved with FoIP

ATLANTA, March 25 -- Commetrex announced today that it has applied for a patent on technology the company says may finally make IP-based fax directly connected to IP-carrier networks nearly as reliable as PSTN fax.  The technology, which Commetrex calls "Smart FoIP," applies to servers that support both T.38 and G.711-pass-through fax, gateways, and ATAs to make SIP-based call setup and the ensuing transaction nearly error free.

According to Cliff Schornak, Commetrex' CTO, and one of the listed inventors, "Over a three-month period last year, we worked with Copia International, a user of our BladeWare(TM) fax-server platform, in an effort to allow Copia's fax-broadcast customers to take full advantage of the economics of IP telephony.  We succeeded, but not before we found that without the technology we developed, the success of our fax calls was well below that of traditional multi-line fax boards and even lower than that of T.38-only servers."

Schornak continued, "We thought that our fax-server platform, BladeWare, with its support for 711 pass-through fax in addition to T.38, would have the highest success rate.  But when we disallowed G.711 on the server, the success rate, much to our surprise, actually improved by 10 percent.  It wasn't due to the well-known problems of G.711 IP fax.  The problem was that frequently, by the time the carrier networks issue their SIP re-invite from G.711, which is the initial mode of all network-based IP fax calls, to T.38, the fax session had progressed beyond the point where the switch to T.38 could be made."

With this mind, Commetrex developed Smart FoIP, which puts intelligence into the decision by the on-ramp (calling) gateway of whether to accept or reject the T.38 re-invite of the off-ramp (receiving) gateway.  Servers with support for T.38 and G.711 pass-through fax and Smart FoIP have call-completion rates on a par with PSTN fax and five-percent better than a server with support for only T.38.  Versions of the new technology have been developed for BladeWare and Commetrex' T.38 fax relay licensed technology for semiconductor, gateway, and ATA OEMs.

Steve Hersee, CEO of Copia International, commented, "Now, our customers can enjoy outbound completion rates on a par with multi-line fax boards and well above that of fax servers that only support T.38 and are not equipped with this new technology."

About Commetrex

Commetrex, after providing industry-leading fax technologies to the telecom equipment OEM for over a decade, has developed BladeWare(TM), an advanced-architecture all-software telephony platform that supports FoIP with SIP signaling. In 2009, the company added support for digital and analog PSTN connectivity in partnership with Sangoma Technologies.  The addition of support for PCI and PCI Express boards for analog office and station interfaces and ISDN PRI and BRI gives Commetrex the industry's broadest fax-telephony product line for the enterprise-fax OEM.  Commetrex' list of technology licensees is a who's who of the telecom industry, including Altigen, Aspect, Audiocodes, Broadsoft, Digium, Interactive Intelligence, Radisys, Sagem-Interstar, Shoretel, Siemens, and Sonus Networks.

Rand McNally Unveils IntelliRoute(R) TND(TM) 700 at Mid-America Trucking Show

7-inch GPS Redefines In-Cab Navigation

LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 25 -- As part of its goal to provide the most innovative routing and navigation products for professional drivers, Rand McNally today launched the IntelliRoute® TND(TM) 700, a new truck GPS device with a 7-inch state-of-the-art high-definition screen, and enhanced software features.

This new device provides greater mapping detail at each zoom level, a larger viewing screen, additional Trucker Business Tools, enhanced features and 363,000 data updates.

"Rand McNally is committed to providing innovative technology and location-based information to drivers and fleets.  The IntelliRoute® TND(TM) 700 with its larger, high definition screen size will enhance the in-cab navigation experience providing for greater 'glanceability' as well as a quick, thorough understanding of the road ahead," said Dave Muscatel, CEO of Rand McNally.

The IntelliRoute® TND(TM) 700, like the CES award winning IntelliRoute® TND(TM) 500 unit launched last year, was developed from the ground up for professional truck drivers.  Tested extensively by professional drivers on the road, the IntelliRoute® TND(TM) 700 unit includes louder-than-normal speakers, custom designed mounting features such as an oversized suction cup and extra-long cable, as well as a suite of specialized Trucker Business Tools to assist drivers in managing the business aspects of trucking.  Many of the new and improved features in the IntelliRoute® TND(TM) 700 were developed as a direct result of driver feedback.

  The IntelliRoute® TND(TM) 700 includes two new Trucker Business Tools:
  --  Notepad - drivers can type out a quick note such as "Call Dock with
      ETA 15 miles out", or "Good parking availability".
  --  Calendar - drivers can reference the day, week, and month with this
      built-in calendar.

These features are easily accessed and used with an oversized stylus provided with the unit to extend reach in the cab.

Enhancements to current features include access to POIs, such as truck stops, rest areas, and retail locations, with just a few clicks.  Advance notification is now available for Norpass and Prepass availability at weigh stations.  Border crossings can be pre-set to prohibit routing across country borders.  Multi-stop routing has been improved to include on-the-fly vias and additional stopovers.

"The 700 series unit includes over 363,000 data updates derived from users of the IntelliRoute® TND(TM) 500 'Tell Rand' feedback feature as well as proprietary research from Rand McNally.  Overall, IntelliRoute® TND(TM) devices provide 35% more truck routing information than other GPS units.  Accurate, truck-specific road data and restrictions help avoid accidents and substantial fines, improve asset utilization and arrival times, and keeps insurance costs down for drivers," said Danny Sack, Senior Product Manager of Rand McNally.

The IntelliRoute® TND(TM) 700 is "Trucker tested. Trucker approved."  It has a suggested retail price of $499 and will be available at truck stops nationwide.  Visit http://www.randmcnally.com/truckgps for more information.

About Rand McNally - Rand McNally is the most trusted source for maps, directions, and travel content.  Rand McNally's products include: America's #1 Road Atlas, IntelliRoute® truck routing software and GPS devices, and the leading geography-based educational resources for the classroom.  Consumers, businesses, truckers, and educators depend upon Rand McNally to help navigate today's world. http://www.randmcnally.com

Redfin Upgrades Listing Service, Supports Short Sales

SEATTLE, March 25 -- Redfin today launched a major upgrade to its listing service, with in-home listing consultations, online systems for capturing tour feedback and monitoring web traffic, and hosted open houses and private tours. In select markets, the company is also supporting short sales for the first time in two years. Separately today, the company announced its expansion into Phoenix.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070426/SFTH054LOGO)

The new service replaces two offerings for home-sellers, one priced at $5,000 and the other at $7,000, with $750 of that amount charged up front. The fee for the new service is 1.5% of the home price, half the fee typically charged by a traditional listing agent, with a $5,500 minimum and no up-front charge. Redfin structured the pricing to match what it already charges Redfin's home-buyers, which is also usually half the commission. As always, Redfin pays its agents a bonus that varies based on customer satisfaction, not on the price of the house.

Local Service, Personal Accountability

The new offering is part of an increasing emphasis on personal service. After organizing its agents into local teams last December, Redfin focused the listing-service upgrade on giving customers complete personal accountability from a local Redfin agent. Supported by her team, one agent now handles pricing, tours, open houses, local marketing, weekly updates and negotiations.

That agent reviews the property in person, to see what needs to be done to improve its appeal, and to develop an opinion on pricing. Each agent has a network of stagers, gardeners and handymen to spruce up a property before putting it on the market.

As before, Redfin hires professional photographers at our own cost to increase the listing's online allure. In place of the generic Redfin yard sign, the company is rolling out a new yard sign featuring the direct contact details of the local Redfin agent. To complement the sign, Redfin now prints and delivers flyers to each listing customer.

Online Feedback Systems Track the Competition

Redfin pairs this new level of personal service with proprietary online tools, including a private website for monitoring the volume and origin of online visits to the listings, so the customer immediately knows when buyers have shifted their attentions elsewhere.

Redfin also uses online systems to solicit any agent hosting tours for his buyers' feedback on the property's condition and pricing, which is then delivered by email directly to the customer, allowing the customer to know if pricing is off or if a room is showing poorly. Beyond the brokerage sites that draw directly on Multiple Listing Service data, Redfin promotes the listing on 30+ websites, including Realtor.com, Craigslist, Trulia and Zillow.com, for maximum online exposure.

Existing Redfin listing clients will get the service upgrade at no additional cost.

"Because we've built a website for home-buyers, our brokerage business has overwhelmingly focused on home-buyers," said Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman. "Now we're trying to change that, first by using the local teams we put together last winter to deliver a higher level of personal service. And second by developing online tools so our customers always know how their properties are competing in the market. Long-term, the reason people are going to list with us isn't just because of our online presence, but because we have the best local agents. We're finally getting to the size where we can be local in many of the markets we serve."

Redfin Now Supports Short Sales in Many Markets

In addition to upgrading its listing product, Redfin is now offering support for short sales, which are properties whose sale depends on bank approval because the price is lower than the mortgage amount.

In Seattle, Portland, the Bay Area, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Phoenix, customers can now tour short sales via Redfin field agents. The tours, which can be scheduled in the regular way via Redfin's website, entail no cost to the customer and no obligation. Other Redfin markets plan to support short-sale tours in the next three months, depending on when Redfin can hire enough field agents to satisfy the anticipated demand.

But even in markets now touring short sales, Redfin's own agents still do not handle most offers on short-sale properties. Instead, Redfin refers these offers to agents in our partner program. Redfin screens partner agents to ensure each has at least 15 successful transactions, and it surveys each of the partner's recent customers, publishing the results to our website. As is standard for all partner-brokered deals, the savings on a short-sale transaction is 15% of the commission.

Redfin Expands to Phoenix

First Website to Offer Phoenix Consumers Photos & Details on Recently Sold Properties

SEATTLE, March 25 -- Redfin today expanded to the Phoenix metropolitan area, increasing the number of listings available on Redfin's website by 8%. Phoenix is the third market Redfin has opened since December 2009, and the twelfth overall. Separately today, Redfin is announcing upgrades to its listing service, and new support for short sales.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070426/SFTH054LOGO)

With this launch, Redfin's site offers customers the photos and marketing materials used to list properties that recently sold, information previously limited to real estate agents. No other website offers this data, known in the industry as Virtual Office Website (VOW) data, to Phoenix consumers. The new data, which consumers can use to develop their own market analyses, became available last year as a result of an agreement between the U.S. Department of Justice and the National Association of Realtors.

Redfin has access to the real-time database used by brokers to list homes because Redfin is a broker that represents customers buying and selling homes. In Cave Creek, Fountain Hills, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler and Gilbert, the company provides direct service, employing its own real estate agents. In the East Valley and the West Valley, Redfin relies on partners. Redfin's search site covers all of Maricopa and Pinal counties.

Redfin brings to Arizona its trademark combination of customer service, candor and value. Redfin draws customers to its website by publishing data that most other Arizona sites lack, such as when a property was originally listed and at what prices.

Redfin is also one of the first sites in Phoenix to rate agent performance, by surveying an agent's customers and publishing all the results, unedited. To avoid the conflict of interest that commissions can create, Redfin pays its own agents bonuses based on these customer-satisfaction ratings. Redfin pays its partner agents a customer-satisfaction bonus, and only works with partners who allow Redfin to survey all of their recent customers.

Because Redfin agents do not solicit customers for business, a Redfin agent is nearly ten times more productive than the traditional agent. To ask an agent for service, visitors to Redfin's site use online tools for asking questions, arranging home tours, preparing offers and listing homes.

When selling a home through one of Redfin's own agents, a customer pays half the typical commission, saving $7,500 in fees on a typical $500,000 listing. When buying a home where the seller pays the commission refund, the customer gets a commission refund worth the same amount, applied to closing costs or issued as a check after closing. With partner agents, the refund is 15% rather than 50%, saving a customer $2,250 on that same $500,000 home.

"In a market where many brokerages are contracting, Redfin's expansion into Phoenix is significant all by itself," said Redfin's Phoenix market manager, Marcus Fleming. "Redfin brings to Phoenix data that consumers have never seen before about homes for sale and especially homes that just sold. More important, we give consumers a new alternative to the traditional sales-driven approach to real estate, because we pay our agents to put the customer first, not commissions."

As with many Redfin market managers, Marcus Fleming has a long history as a real estate broker as well as experience operating retail businesses where customer service and a consistent brand are paramount.

"As we've adapted our business model to work in markets with homes at a wider range of prices and in different states of distress, we can expand more quickly," said Scott Nagel, Redfin vice president of real estate operations. "We expect Phoenix in particular to be important because it is less seasonal than markets like Boston, Portland and Seattle, and it can draw on traffic we already have in those markets. Plenty of Seattleites on Redfin today spend all winter dreaming of a sunny Phoenix ranch."

"We believe the future of 3D is coming to all markets and at a fast pace.  We feel our new render engine will fulfill the gaps in the industry as it was developed around our conversion processing and delivery of content in a compelling way.  Our dedication and development plans in the video game arena are in tune with the industry and we are excited to be a part of this revolution," stated Michael Gibilisco, CEO of 3D Eye Solutions, Inc.

Mobile Star's Karaoke Vending Machine Used Record 60 Times on Single Day

Potential to Distribute Over 1,000 Karaoke Vending Units in First 12 Months

NEW YORK, March 25, 2010--     Mobile Star Corp. (OTCBB: MBST), a developer of karaoke vending machines,
announced today that its proprietary vending machine was used over 60 times,
nearly to full capacity during it's busiest day ever in New York.

    Following the pilot, the company reached a preliminary distribution
agreement with Apple Industries, one of North America's premier manufacturers
and distributors of coin-operated electronic entertainment.

    Apple Industries plans to distribute the Mobile Star's next-generation
entertainment vending booth, utilizing its well-established marketing
channels. Apple Industries currently operates a vast distribution network,
placing products in shopping centers, amusement parks, theaters, casinos,
restaurants, pubs, and various other tourist attractions.

    Apple Industries' professional team closely monitored the New York pilot,
which confirmed the quality of the vending system and demonstrated greater
return on investment potential than initially anticipated.

    Each vending machine is expected to generate over $30,000 in gross annual
revenues.

    "We plan to begin marketing the machine in the second half of 2010, and
we reasonably expect to distribute over 1,000 units in the first 12 months,"
said Allen Weisberg, President of Apple Industries. "Today there are over
40,000 bars nationwide with jukeboxes. We anticipate placing the Mobile Star
in many of these locations in the coming years, in addition to other
locations such as nationwide theater chains, etc."

    "The Mobile Star fits right into our lineup of machines that are
innovative and fun, and bring owners a satisfying return on investment. With
the growing national interest in karaoke, stemming from song contests like
American Idol, we are confident that the Mobile Star will quickly become a
market winner," Weisberg added.

    "The Mobile Star performed incredibly well during our recent pilot,
producing over 60 recordings on a single-day," said Danny Elbaz, CEO of
Mobile Star Corp. "Such demand for the machine creates even greater return on
investment potential for a vending booth owner than previously anticipated."

    About Apple Industries

    Apple Industries is a premiere manufacturer and distributor of coin
operated electronic entertainment, representing some of the finest vending
manufactures in the World. Apple Industries is a wholly-owned private US
company with 45 years of history, and distribution channels throughout the
U.S. and Canada. Apple's products can be found in shopping centers, amusement
parks, theaters, casinos, tourist attractions, Restaurants and Pubs and more.

    About Mobile Star

    Mobile Star has developed a free-standing entertainment vending machine
that enables an individual to digitally record his or her voice singing to
hundreds of songs. The patented karaoke technology utilizes a proprietary
digital-media software platform, and professional-grade hardware to publish a
high quality CD of the performance.

iVision Mobile launched two new technologies that will allow companies to more effectively communicate with their customers using text messaging. The Text Reminder System (iTRS) is a one on one, web-based messaging workstation that has the look and feel of an instant messaging system and allows users to schedule appointments and multiple appointment reminders. The iTRS system features a real-time inbox, email notification, and the ability to create multiple message and reminder templates.
