Charlottesville, Virginia – Travis Allen, founder of iSchool Initiative and its president and CEO, knew the second hardest thing to creating a new company was successfully funding that company. The current economic situation made the dependence on donations an uncertain proposition, yet as a non-profit, iSchool Initiative must find ways to fund operations. Even if difficult to do, the need for an education-focused mobile app community is too much to ignore.

A freshman at Kennesaw State University, Mr. Allen knows what he is talking about because he literally lives and organizes his education around his iPhone. A prodigious user of iPhone and iPod touch applications, he is the perfect picture of the paperless student. However, it quickly became apparent by the many questions asked by his peers and teachers that, with the over 160,000 apps in the iTunes App Store, understanding which mobile apps are the best is not that easy to figure out. iSchool Initiative addresses this obvious need.

After creating iSchool Initiative, the next step was funding and building the community. This is where Mr. Allen’s chance meeting of Michael Niles, on Twitter, changed everything. Mr. Niles, president of the Niles Technology Group, saw iSchool Initiative and immediately got the concept. “The vision and the idea are clear as could be,” says Mr. Niles. “One thing about a great product is that it does not take but 15 seconds to understand it, and this took me about 10 seconds. I knew immediately that this is an organization that Niles Technology Group wanted to work with. Not only is iSchool Initiative directly addressing and educating our target audience, but it is adding a new dimension to mobile learning for students, teachers, and schools.”

Niles Technology Group is the creator of Achievers Writing Center, the already successful essay writing iPhone apps. As the only full-service mobile writing center available in the iTunes App Store, Achievers Writing Center teaches students how to write over 40 types of essays, and the apps can be purchased complete with a live writing assistant and professional editing services; all for one affordable price.

Niles Technology Group became iSchool Initiative’s first sponsor by donating a portion of sales of a set of iSchool Initiative-branded Achievers Writing Center apps. “My goal was rather simple. I recommended to Mr. Allen that iSchool Initiative be as independent as possible from donations, which are sporadic at best, and to develop revenue streams that have direct connections to the organization’s core vision, that being mobile education apps.

Niles Technology Group recently launched its affiliate program for secondary schools, colleges, universities, and non-profit organizations, and iSchool Initiative is a prime candidate to benefit from it.” Niles Technology Group donates all production costs and services to the development and management of the iSchool Initiative-branded apps. Upon sale of said apps, iSchool Initiative receives 15% of the gross revenue. It is a 100% turnkey solution with no out-of-pocket costs for iSchool Initiative or any other institution or organization in the affiliate program. With over 500 essay writing apps in the iTunes App Store, Niles Technology Group continues to demonstrate it effectively develops, produces, and manages a vast library of mobile apps. Schools and non-profit organizations interested in the affiliate program should contact Michael Niles.

To support iSchool Initiative with an essay writing app purchase, simply go to the iTunes App Store, and search “isi” to see the list of available iSchool Initiative-branded apps. The ultimate goal, according to Mr. Allen and Mr. Niles, is for iSchool Initiative to develop its own line of mobile applications that address specific student-oriented issues on college campuses and in high schools and middle schools. The education mobile app market is in its infancy, and iSchool Initiative and Niles Technology Group plan to enhance the education sector with unique, engaging, and useful education apps.

The iSchool Initiative’s mission is to advocate, support and implement technological advancement for students and educators in the 21st century. In order to accomplish this, we have three primary objectives: raising awareness for the technological needs of the classroom, providing collaborative research on the use of technology in the classroom, and guiding schools in the implementation of this technology. The iSchool Initiative was formed by Travis Allen, currently a freshman at Kennesaw State University, after discovering how technology such as the iPod touch could not only change his education but that of his fellow students. Upon sharing his iSchool Initiative idea with teachers and students, he realized its tremendous potential to transform today’s education system. Travis then took the concept of the iSchool Initiative and turned it into a non-profit organization, starting with the launch of his first YouTube Video, “The iSchool Initiative (Mobile Learning).” Copyright (C) 2010 iSchool Initiative Corp.

Portland, Oregon – Dejal Systems, LLC today is pleased to introduce Tweeps version 1.0 for the iPhone and iPod touch, with an iPad edition in the works. Tweeps is a Twitter companion app. It isn’t a full Twitter client – you can’t post tweets from it. Instead, it is a tool to manage your Twitter account. Edit your avatar, name, bio text, website URL and location, plus follow/unfollow people, see if someone follows you, block people, and find people.

Edit Your Account Information

Add multiple accounts to Tweeps, and easily edit them:
* Take a photo or choose one from your photo library to change your avatar picture
* Edit the name displayed for your account
* Change the biographical text – the description you write about yourself
* Edit the website URL, previewing it in an integrated web browser
* Set your current location using the device’s GPS, or type a less specific location, and preview on an integrated map view

View Information About Twitter People

Learn all about your own accounts and others:
* See the display name, username, how long they’ve been using Twitter, and their Twitter ID
* View the avatar picture, including full-sized, and copy it if desired
* FOLLOW or UNFOLLOW other people. The left button indicates whether or not you already follow them
* The right button indicates whether or not the displayed person follows you
* Tap the right button to display a BLOCK button; you can also optionally report them as a spammer
* Read the bio description text
* See the website URL, and tap to display it in an integrated web browser
* See the location, and tap to display it on an integrated map
* Read the most recent tweet (update), along with the total number of tweets that have been posted; tap to read any number of recent tweets

* When viewing your own account, you can also see lists of tweets that mention you and people you’re blocking
* Find other Twitter people by username, first/last name, company, or brand name

Delve Deeper

Read recent tweets from each person, or skim through the lists of people you’re following and who follow you, and see more information about them, including who they follow and who follows them. A great way to discover interesting new people to follow – and you don’t need to wonder if you already follow them or not, since it is shown right in the profile detail information.

Load newer updates simply by scrolling to the top, or automatically load more tweets or people by scrolling to the bottom. A nice feature is rotation support – Tweeps works in all orientations, like an iPad, plus displays a fun wobbling rotation lock button to stop it rotating when you want to read lying on your side.

iPad Edition Coming Soon! An edition of Tweeps optimized for the new iPad is in the works, and should be available soon after the iPad is released. Follow the Dejal Blog, or @dejal (main account) or @dejaltweeps (Tweeps account) on Twitter to learn when it is available.

American Fork, Utah – The popular iPhone mileage log application, MileBug, is now available for half off the regular price. Only $1.99 through April 15th as a special Tax Time Sale to make next year’s taxes that much easier, and the tax returns that much larger. MileBug was recently featured in the What’s Hot section of 57 App Stores worldwide this January as it rose to #2 in Finance. First released in August 2008, MileBug has been a consistent presence in the App Store, was featured on the many banners at Apple’s WorldWide Developers’ Conference last June, and has been seen in the window displays at different Apple stores.

A new update, version 1.5, has arrived with great new features such as:
* Frequent Trips
* Expense Tracking – create your own categories
* Options for default trip origin
* Swipe to delete single trip
* In-app report emails
* In-app settings

From small to big business, from realtors to direct sales consultants, MileBug continues to serve those needing a mileage tax break.

“The 1.5 update is simply great. I have tried almost every mileage app in the app store, and MileBug has been my favourite from the start.” – customer review

“This is the most used app on my phone. Easy to use. Love the reports.” – customer review

“I have used this now for a year and it has been a lifesaver.” – customer review

“As a realtor, I am always going somewhere. This program makes it extremely easy to track my miles for tax purposes.” – customer review

“The trip log that I liked best is MileBug from Izatt International.” – The Apple Blog

“Milebug saves you time and money; and is a MUST have for any business owner.” – iReviewiPhoneApps

MileBug helps those driving their own vehicles for business, charity, medical, or other reasons receive their reimbursement and/or tax deduction. In the U.S., the IRS business rate for 2010 is 50 cents/mile. MileBug for the iPhone/iPod touch helps people track their miles and provides emailed reports for easy submission to employers, accountants, and the IRS.

“MileBug is a mileage tracker for your iPhone or iPod touch that makes it super easy to … track your mileage. This is great if you need to report your mileage to your boss … the [IRS] … or for any personal reasons.” – AppStoreApps

“In my job, I need a way to track mileage for work trips around town. MileBug does a great job of providing a really simple (and IRS friendly) method of tracking my trip logs. I really like how I can export the reports to email for reimbursement and reporting.” – The Apple Blog

Inside the MileBug app is an option to select kilometers instead of miles. From within the Presets, users can define custom rates for business, charity, medical, and other categories. If you get one rate from your employer for reimbursement, and another rate from the IRS for your side business, you simply create two different business rates.

Fairfax, Virginia – Proactive Life LLC today is pleased to announce the release of Proactive Sleep 1.2 for iPhone and iPod touch devices. Proactive Sleep tracks your sleep and displays your sleep patterns when you set an alarm at night. You can then keep track of your sleep and develop goals that are unique to your sleep needs. We have recently released a major update and have lowered the price of the app.

The app provides users with personalized feedback designed to help improve sleep hygiene. Similar to diet and exercise, sleep is an important part of a healthy life-style. We hope that by giving you feedback on your behaviors just by doing everyday tasks like setting an alarm, you will get information to help you better understand and improve your sleep. The app also includes a bunch of sleep/wake promoting features. If you already set an alarm at night, why not get something out of it?

This app is based on the science of sleep, unlike many other self proclaimed smart phone alarms. How refreshed you feel is largely affected by two things: how much you are sleeping and the time of day. These components of sleep also have a major impact on the severity of “sleep inertia”, or in other words, the grogginess experienced upon awakening from sleep. The application tracks the two components of sleep based on when you set your alarm and using a stimulating vigilance game it also tracks your sleep inertia.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later
* 2.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Proactive Sleep 1.2 is $2.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Healthcare & Fitness category. Proactive Sleep was the winner of the $10,000 Schoofs prize for Innovation and creativity, featured on CBS early show, and it has been studied in a (in press) scientific journal.

Campbell, California – INFOMATO(R) Inc., a Silicon Valley startup, today unveiled FORGET, a free application that transforms the iPhone and iPod touch into a memory aid for people who are frequently stuck in tip-of-the-tongue moments or whose otherwise brilliant trains of thought are stalled, simply because they are forgetful. FORGET is built around the psychological principles of memory association and recognition, so that even scatterbrains and disorganized people can quickly enjoy its benefits.

FORGET works by integrating itself into the process of how people recall forgotten information, and then streamlines this process using patented technology. When people forget something important, they rely first on hints (memory association) to jog their memory, and then hope that the relevant information just pops into their heads. “I had to do this all the time. It was too painful, took too long, and was too unreliable. So I kept thinking: there must be a better way to remember,” said INFOMATO founder and inventor, Dr. Wayne Lo.

“FORGET makes memory association easy, effective and reliable because computer technology draws relationships much faster than our brains and, best of all, it does not forget,” said Dr. Lo. To demonstrate how FORGET works, Dr. Lo offers a simple example. In 2008, he was invited by a good friend – Guillaume – to visit his home town in southern France, near Bordeaux. His friend’s mother, Ms. Joubert, had prepared for and heartily welcomed his family’s visit. As the months went by, Dr. Lo started forgetting Ms. Joubert’s name. This was especially embarrassing when one day she happened to answer Guillaume’s telephone. Now, using FORGET, Dr. Lo just needs to associate Guillaume with Ms. Joubert. The next time he asks for Guillaume, he will see Ms. Joubert in a list of hints and quickly recognize it (using recognition memory) as that of Guillaume’s mother.

“Our ability to recognize forgotten information and connect the dots is an amazing trait unique to the human brain and difficult to duplicate using technology. Working in tandem with this trait, FORGET greatly simplifies the data entry that is required,” said Dr. Lo. Here, he could have specifically associated Guillaume’s mother (instead of Guillaume) with Ms. Joubert. But thanks to the capacity of human recognition memory, he does not need to be specific. He can recall the details without spelling them out.

By tapping into the strength of recognition memory, FORGET provides an age-proof solution. Studies show that while our ability to deliberately recall details can drop to 50 or 60% by the time we reach age 65, the capacity of our recognition memory remains at the level of an 18-year old. “FORGET is specifically designed to establish a close complementary relationship with our brain, making use of associated lists to jog our recognition memory,” said Dr. Lo.

Consider the following examples. Which would you rather remember?
* Dr. Shenasa or heart doctor?

Nashville, TN – Announcing that Tisha Morris, the developer of Feng Shui Bagua Map, has released a program for users interested in an easier way to improve the flow of their lives. The application is based on westernized Feng Shui, providing a bagua map, along with easy to use and follow instructions for optimizing the energy in a person’s home or office.

The app was created by author, life coach and interior designer, Tisha Morris. “As a Feng Shui consultant and iPhone lover, I noticed that there were no good Feng Shui apps available. So, I decided to create my own,” explains Morris. In designing the app, she had a few criteria that had to be met, “It had to be simple, functional and informational enough for anyone to use.”

Ease of use is one of the major attractions for users. The art of feng shui is ancient and can involve compasses and very complicated instructions. Morris adapted the more popular and widely used westernized method for creating the Feng Shui Bagua Map, so people with little or no knowledge of feng shui can still achieve the effects of clearing and improving the energy in their living and work spaces.

Naturally, the application comes equipped with a bagua map. Users can overlay onto that map, existing pictures from their phone’s photo library or snap a new one of their room or floor plan. As it is the westernized method being used, the bagua map lines up with the main door of a room or building, depending on what is being worked on.

Once the photo is in place, a user can instantly see the nine sections of their home or office. Each of those nine squares represents a different life aspect. Users can address their areas of wealth, love and relationships, career, family and creativity, travel and helpful people, health, fame and reputation, self knowledge. These areas surround the all important centre, which influences the rest of the areas.

To find out how to optimize, balance and harmonize a particular space, a user merely has to tap on the square that corresponds with the area they want to enhance. All the necessary instruction is revealed so that a user can begin immediately.

Morris has ensured a smooth, painless experience by including some important features and functions in her application, like allowing users to save and create as many feng shui maps as they want and by providing in-depth information about each sector of the map. It’s like having a coach present to explain and guide users through the feng shui process for each area of life.

Features:
* Easy to use and follow
* Based on westernized feng shui methods
* Bagua Map can be viewed in Portrait or Landscape mode depending on the general shape of the space to feng shui
* Import or take photo or sketch of floor plan, room, etc. from camera photos and superimpose the Bagua Map onto it for a bird’s eye view
* Saves finished Feng Shui floor plan, users can create as many as they want
* Provides in-depth characteristics, application, remedies, and enhancements for each section with just a click on the map square

Anyone looking to clear energy blocks or consciously attract the greatest things that life has to offer them would do well to check out the Feng Shui Bagua Map. It’s such a small investment with a potential for reaping enormous results.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone and iPod touch
* Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later
* 0.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Feng Shui Bagua Map 1.0 is only $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.
