VGMarket, a leader in market research has built an ongoing partnership with WOWIO to use eBook media to incentivize survey-takers in online research panels. “WOWIOs use of eBooks as rewards provides tremendous value and relevance for the user while increasing the availability of unique digital content for our members, says Keith Leeman, Vice President, Online Services at VGMarket. WOWIOs embedded advertising in eBooks affords us a highly effective means of engaging with our members. This is a very exciting feature from WOWIO, and the partnership really fits with our companies shared philosophy of continuous innovation, particularly with digital media.

As part of our growth strategy, we are always looking for innovative ways to create marketing and advertising campaigns, using eBooks as the vehicle and sometimes, as in this case, as rewards as well, says Brian Altounian, WOWIOs CEO.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) November 25, 2011

The real estate search has gone high-tech. Certainly, its been heading that way for years, as people rely on their computers and mobile devices to find properties. But a new mobile Twin Cities real estate app takes the technology one step further, while at the same time harkening back to the days when finding a place to live meant getting in the car and covering ground.

The new mobile real estate app, available from Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Area Leaders to both iPad and iPhone users, takes the search for Minneapolis and St. Paul area single-family homes to places its never gone before. Thats due in large part to a feature called HomeSpotter from MobileRealtyApps.com, which leverages augmented reality technology and allows people to access information simply by pointing their iPad or iPhone.

Searching for real estate used to mean spending the afternoon in the car, hoping to stumble across a For Sale sign in a desirable neighborhood, said Andy Asbury, broker/owner of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Area Leaders. This new mobile app simplifies the process because it allows users to simply point their iPad or iPhone down a street theyre interested in. Then it automatically pulls up information on all the homes available for sale.

With HomeSpotter, users also can point their iPad or iPhone at individual homes or buildings theyre interested in. The technology works by overlaying property information on the iPad or iPhones camera feed. It generates all the pertinent information home-buyers need price, square footage, and number of bedrooms and bathrooms, for example and also includes a radar feature that shows them to see properties for sale on other streets in the area. The available properties are shown on screen as icons, and users can tap on them to learn more about them.

The app, available for free download from the iTunes Store, also includes traditional functions that allow users to search for available real estate via parameters such as location and price.

For more information about this and other mobile real estate apps from Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Area Leaders, or to contact an agent who can guide you through the home-buying process, call (612) 225-0122, or log on to http://www.minnesotaloftsandcondos.com or http://www.ExploreTwinCities.com.

Released within a month of each other, the Blackberry 9000, better known as the Blackberry Bold (May 2008) and the Nokia E71 (June 2008) are obvious rival smartphones from these perennial rival smartphone makers as they look, feel, and function very much alike.Both devices are just about equally sized, at 114 mm x 66 mm x 14 mm for the Blackberry and 114 mm x 57 mm x 10 mm for the Nokia. And both weigh just about the same with the Blackberry weighing in at 133 g to a slightly lighter Nokia’s 127 g.Both devices have a QWERTY keypad occupying the bottom half of the face of the device with a small display screen (2.6 in on the Blackberry, 2.36 in on the Nokia) above it. Interestingly, the display screens on each device possess a quality superior to that of their counterpart. The Blackberry has better resolution, at 480 x 320 pixels to its competitor’s 320 x 240 pixels; but the Nokia has more colors, at 16 million to its competitors meager 65,000.Then, for a matter of simple preference, the Blackberry Bold’s primary navigation is a trackball whereas the Nokia E71 uses a 5-way scroll key. Also a simple matter of preference, the Blackberry runs on the Blackberry OS, the Nokia on the Symbian OS.Other similarities amongst these two candybar competitors are their built-in GPS with mapping capabilities (the Bold using Blackberry Maps, the E71 using Nokia Maps – each coming preinstalled), as well as voice dialing, photo calling, video calling, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP, and speakerphone. They also both operate on AT&T’s EDGE network and support HSDPA and 3G.Also, both devices sport microSD card slots for expandable memory up to 8 GB, though the Blackberry has more more internal memory, at 1 GB to the Nokia’s 110 MB (both devices have 128 MB onboard RAM though). And both devices have a USB v2.0 port, though the Nokia also has a microUSB port.In terms of multimedia features they each have built in digital cameras, but the Blackberry Bold’s is only 2 megapixels while the Nokia E71′s is 3 megapixels. Both cameras, however, have LED flash and video recording capabilities. Both devices also have a built-in MP3 player.Also worth noting, along these same lines, is that unlike the Blackberry (or most smartphones, for that matter) the Nokia does not have a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack but rather a 2.5 mm audio jack, making headphone and speaker compatibility a bigger issue with the Nokia. The Nokia, however, has an infrared port while the Blackberry does not.You can view Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents on both devices, but you can only edit them on the Blackberry.The battery on the Bold gives up to 5 hours of talk time and 310 hours of standby time. The battery on the Nokia gives up to 10 1/2 hours of talk time in 2G or 4 1/2 hours in 3G, and 410 hours of standby time in 2G or 480 hours in 3G.Deciding between these two devices is a tough call, and may come down to extraneous features such as the availability of preferred 3rd party apps. Or you may just prefer the Blackberry operating system to Symbian. You may also lean towards the Blackberry Bold if you want to be able to edit Microsoft Office docs, though you might lean towards the Nokia E71 if you’d rather take crisper digital photos. Really these two devices are quite comparable.
