Data Shows Users Embrace "Click to Learn/Buy" Features During Mobile Listening Across 5,000 Internet and Satellite Radio Channels

PHOENIX, Ariz., May 9 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- SelectRadio data shows that listeners using its Windows Mobile smartphone software are taking full advantage of recently added features to discover new music while enjoying their favorite Internet or satellite radio channels.

Users can see available song purchase options, listen to samples from the artist, and purchase directly from their smartphone. Users can even discover new music without taking their eyes off the road - just by setting SelectRadio to email the song information results.

Noted Sandy Shore, founder of SmoothJazz.com and SmoothLounge.com, "We're very excited about the immediacy of information and purchasing opportunities that SelectRadio is offering our listeners with their software. It doesn't get any more exciting than to be out in the world, listening to Internet radio on a mobile device and discovering new artists and music that you're actually able to buy on the spot if you desire. That's really putting the music directly into the hands of the people!"

Acme Made Introduces All New Line of Innovative Totes and Laptop Bags

Sat, 08 Dec 2007 10:22:47 GMT

PORTLAND, Ore. - Dec. 8 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Acme Made(R) has recently introduced its new line of designer bags and laptop cases for the holidays. The highlights of the line include the "Metro Tote," their new Telun vulcanized canvas, and their sustainable textile, EcoStripe.

The Metro Tote is one of the most innovative business/laptop bags available. Developed in Italy, the Metro Tote features a removable laptop "bag-within-a-bag" concept. "With a couple quick snaps the inner bag can be removed and carried separately when you just want to take your laptop to a meeting or coffee shop," explains Acme Made partner, Kirk Thornby. "Or, snap the sleeve out and use the Metro as a spacious weekend tote - the whole idea is to design a lot of versatility into a stylish, everyday bag for both work and weekends."

The Courier is the company's new shoulder bag for men and women. The clean and modest styling offers a lot of functionality "under the hood," a plethora of pockets, and a cool zippered center pocket dividing and organizing the large main compartment.

The Vert Tote is Acme Made's answer to a more classic, all-around tote bag. It's a functional, unisex design with a portrait-style or "vertical" orientation allowing it to carry a lot more within a relatively small footprint. The Vert Tote features short leather handles and a removable shoulder strap.

Textiles are also a big part of the new line. Their "Telun" textile is an Italian-made "vulcanized canvas" that is matte black rubber that has been adhered to a natural canvas backing which gives the Acme Made bags a very unique appearance while the rubber coating creates additional stain and water protection. The new "Eco Stripe" adds sustainability to the company's textile mix. Woven from 100% post industrial and post consumer polyester, the Eco Stripe is a just the first of many sustainable textiles Acme Made plans to incorporate in the near future.

About Acme Made(R)
Acme Made is a Portland,OR and San Francisco, CA based company specializing in innovative designer business bags, totes, and laptop cases. They develop products using imported, European leather and textiles as well as sustainable materials.

Iamota and AppLocation Team Up to Deliver Location Aware Mobile Content and Services

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 21:47:00 GMT

Location awareness + mobile marketing, messaging and payment = value for brands and consumers

VANCOUVER, Canada - Oct. 16 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Pete Smyth, President, CEO and Founder of Iamota Corporation and Gary Hartwig, President of AppLocation Systems Inc. announced today the availability of location aware mobile content and services. By combining Iamota's proprietary end-to-end mobile marketing, messaging and payment platform with AppLocation's carrier grade MOBILEFusion(TM) platform, brands can now deliver location sensitive services and features.

Iamota Impulse, Iamota Impact and Iamota iCast enable mobile payment, deliver mobile content and marketing campaigns, and extend social networks directly to wireless handheld devices. MOBILEFusion provides location awareness and location sensitive content. Features such as mapping, routing, presence awareness, notifications, opt-in privacy, and security are provided through this partnership.

Iamota will work with AppLocation in a variety of applications. "This is a good strategic fit for us. AppLocation designed their MOBILEFusion platform thinking much the same way we did - they began with the end in mind. It is a modular, scalable interface that works with any wireless device. I've seen it work and they got it right," stated Iamota CEO, Pete Smyth. "We were looking to partner with someone who really knows the telematics and location based services business and could easily walk between the enterprise and consumer worlds."

AppLocation President, Hartwig responded by adding, "The combination of location and wireless connectivity can be powerful for both consumers and businesses. For example, we can deliver specific information and media to transit riders with MOBILEFusion and Iamota. If a transit rider is sitting in a downtown Vancouver office on a rainy day and wants to know if the bus is going to be late, it is possible to opt-in for on time bus services. Better than that though, by connecting location of the handset and the bus, the rider can request messaging services to be advised if the bus is late and also be sent a coupon to have a beer at the nearest pub instead."

Iamota CEO, Smyth went on to say, "Adding location awareness and navigation capability to our Iamota platform is a huge benefit for our customers. Connecting to the mobile world in real time, where the user is, with contextual media and location awareness gives global brands the power to deliver rich digital content that is customizable and delivered on an opt-in basis."

Police and IT Managers Have New Arsenal to Combat Data and Laptop Theft

Tue, 10 Jul 2007 19:45:00 GMT

New Website Pools Best Resources and Tools to Provide to Users and Law Enforcement

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - July 10 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- America's IT Managers and Law Enforcement are angry. They are frustrated with the amount of stolen computers, data loss and associated identity theft that has been permeating the media as of late. One of the key issues is the availability of a reliable site with resources and tools to provide the education and information needed to help fight computer theft.

After more than six months of ongoing discussion with Law Enforcement and IT Management, CyberAngel Security Solutions, Inc. has re-built its Web Site (www.TheCyberAngel.com) to help provide those needed resources and tools.

"After discussing the problem with law enforcement and industry players alike, we found that we are in a unique position to provide a free solution that is related to our core business," said Bradley Lide, President of CSS, Inc. "By offering unique sets of research and resources to both the IT staff researching solutions and to law enforcement officials investigating a crime, we bring our expertise to assist in the continuing education of security issues."

CyberAngel Security Solutions, Inc.'s new Web Site has a dedicated Resource Center for IT professionals and consumers wishing to research information about data theft and compliance issues. Also now featured is a Law Enforcement area that pulls resources from all over the web to assist investigators in doing their jobs.

The "LEA Toolbox" is for qualified law enforcement officials only, and the authentication protocols reflect increased security for this area. This authentication usually involves an e-mail from a government domain and/or a phone call to verify your identity. Both the Resource Center and the LEA Toolbox will be continually updated with current information and resources as available and as we form new business relationships.

Currently, partners who have posted content and/or links include known industry names such as: The Ponemon Institute, SkyHook Wireless, JustStolen.net, and many others. The new look and functionality of the website was handled by Digital Dog, Inc. of Nashville, TN.

The CyberAngel(R) Rescues Stolen Laptop - Stolen Computer Recovered by The CyberAngel with Wi-Trac

Tue, 08 May 2007 20:00:00 GMT

DALLAS, Texas - May 8 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- CyberAngel(R) Security Solutions, Inc. (CSS, Inc.) has helped facilitate the recovery of another stolen laptop in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Recently, a businessman had his company computer stolen when his car was burglarized in Midlothian, TX. Fortunately, his company uses The CyberAngel(R) with Wi-Trac to encrypt and protect sensitive data and recover lost or stolen hardware. The CyberAngel with Wi-Trac is a comprehensive data protection and tracking tool that is virtually undetectable to unauthorized users.

On April 28th, the computer began contacting The CyberAngel(R) Security Monitoring Center from Dallas, TX without alerting the unauthorized user. The CyberAngel Recovery Team worked with Investigators Larry Gice and Kevin Johnson to recover the machine.

"This is a great concept" commented an investigator on the case, "so many of these cases go unsolved because we can't track the computer." Without some sort of tracking/recovery solution, there is less than a 2% chance that a stolen computer will be recovered.

"Wow, that is excellent. I didn't think that this was possible," remarked Damien K, who owns the recovered machine. "I can't even tell you how happy I am to get this (computer) back."

Recoveries make good headlines, but the true story is in the "real-time" data security that The CyberAngel(R) with Wi-Trac gives to their customers. This level of data security grants companies protection from hefty breach notification costs under the most current laws. While the laptop was away from the rightful owner, all of the sensitive data was hidden in an encrypted sector of the hard drive that was invisible to the thieves.

Data security breaches and associated identity theft are important issues that are in the media daily. Data protection and asset recovery are becoming vital to protect against confidential information, asset, and customer loss. The CyberAngel(R) with Wi-Trac offers encryption technologies that exceed current industry standards and maintains a recovery ratio over 80%.

About CyberAngel(R) Security Solutions, Inc.
CyberAngel(R) Security Solutions, Inc. (CSS, Inc.) has been providing The CyberAngel(R) Software (www.thecyberangel.com) since 1996, and is considered an industry leader in Data & Information Security, Intrusion Detection, and PC Tracking & Recovery (and the ONLY provider of Wireless Tracking) for all types and sizes of businesses.

The Laptop Guy Joins the Fight against Breast Cancer with the Launch of the 'Caring Case Campaign' Featuring Laptop Cases Designed Specifically for Women

COLUMBUS, OH -- (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Laptop Guy, Inc. and The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Columbus Affiliate, unite for the launch of the "Caring Case Campaign" at the Polaris Fashion Place. The campaign, presented by The Laptop Guy, is a year long initiative designed to increase breast cancer awareness, promote registration for "Race for the Cure," and raise funds for the fight against breast cancer through the sale of laptop carrying cases designed specifically for women.

The launch of the campaign takes place Saturday, April 2nd, 9th, 16th, and 23rd in the center court of the Polaris Fashion Place and offers the opportunity to purchase from the complete collection of women's laptop cases from Mobile Edge, including the three limited edition totes within the "Caring Case Collection." The Susan G. Komen Foundation will receive 20% of the retail sale price of every Caring Case sold during the campaign and online at www.LaptopGuy.com.

The concept for the campaign began early in 2005 when The Laptop Guy was approached by Mobile Edge to carry a line of laptop cases designed for women. Immediately, Tonya Feit, Marketing Director and wife of The Laptop Guy saw the potential. "Women are a powerful, yet often overlooked, segment of the electronics market," explains Tonya Feit. "The opportunity to offer our female customers something stylish and functional was very exciting." The excitement to work with Mobile Edge escalated when details of the company's dedication to the fight against breast cancer were unveiled.

The "Caring Case Collection" was designed by Mobile Edge in appreciation of the female buying public that purchase over half of all consumer electronics in the United States. The Collection includes three new 'Limited Edition' women's laptop totes that feature the recognized pink ribbon emblem and benefit the fight against breast cancer through the donation of 10% of the retail sale price to the Komen Foundation. In keeping with the spirit of the "Caring Case Collection," The Laptop Guy, Inc., has committed to match Mobile Edge's 10% donation on the sale of all women's laptop cases sold in 2005 through The Laptop Guy retail stores and online. "We are in awe of the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the dedication of the many men and women that volunteer to make a difference in this fight," states Todd Feit, Founder of The Laptop Guy. "I am so happy that there is a way our company can join the fight and contribute to the search for a cure."
