Announcing that Bitbase Technologies Inc. the developers of The NonHelpDesk, has released an entertaining product for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users. A newly launched product in the App Store, NonHelpDesk makes a hilarious mockery of those annoying automated help desk systems. Professionally recorded audio messages convincingly deliver funny helpline options that are perfect for playing pranks or just having a laugh. The download is free of charge and includes five messages, with an in-app purchase available that unlocks an additional six.

“For Pig Latin, press 8,” is just one of the funny options presented to callers when they’ve availed themselves of the anything but helpful, NonHelpDesk. This application is a new launch in the App Store and it is a prankster’s dream come true.

This application contains convincing audio that’s been recorded by a professional disc jockey. That’s the key to its success and why it works so well when it comes to playing tricks on others, or simply enjoying the mockery of those annoying automated help desk systems. People don’t realize initially that they’re listening to a faux helpline menu. They do tend to clue in when asked for a forty-seven digit pin number, or asked to press ’6′ if they own a skipping rope.

NonHelpDesk pokes fun at those things that everyone hates about automated message systems. The result is often hilarious.

These are some of the fun features offered in NonHelpDesk:

Easy to use interface
Professionally recorded, realistic audio

Internet advertising agency Blogsvertise (http://www.blogsvertise.com) released a new iPhone app this week designed to help advertisers connect with bloggers on the go.

Blogsvertise created the app to assist their large base of advertisers in increasing sales, buzz and branding opportunities among independently owned blogs. The iPhone app adds a convenient mobile component to aid these companies in managing their ad campaigns, contacting their account representatives, and placing new orders. For bloggers, the app helps to track new ad inventory, track payments, and snag grab bag ads which provide additional earning opportunities for bloggers.

“The App was designed for advertisers and bloggers to access their accounts wherever they go. It will notify bloggers when new ad inventory matches their blogs so they can review and accept them from anywhere, increasing the fulfillment rate for our advertiser’s campaigns, says Marie Orriss, one of the team members integral in the development of the new application.

Sales Director Jean Newton explains, Like most internet marketers, I’m obsessed with two things: my site and my iPhone. The new Blogsvertise app is a great tool not only for bloggers but for advertisers who, like me, use their phones to stay connected.

Key benefits for bloggers include the ability to accept or decline ads from anywhere, review pending payments, and submit new blogs for staff review. The app will ping bloggers when they have a new ads matched to them so that they can complete it as quickly as possible, reducing the need to diligently log in or check email to find new paid blogging opportunities. Because Blogsvertise works with a large number of unemployed, retired, and mommy bloggers who make extra money by blogging and are frequently on-the-go, the new app is expected to attract quality writers who rely on mobile convenience.

Advertisers will appreciate being able to review their campaigns, check out pricing and other options for future orders, and click to call if they need immediate help from an account representative. They can also expect these added conveniences to result in faster turn-around and a higher presence of premium quality blog sites in the network.

To celebrate the app’s launch, Blogsvertise is giving away a free iPad to one lucky, registered blogger. More information on the contest is available on the company’s Facebook page.

Users can download the free Blogsvertise application from the App Store using the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch or visiting the app store online: .

Consumers must take the time and effort to educate themselves prior to purchasing an extended warranty or insurance for their consumer electronics including the new iPhone 4S. There are many factors to evaluate including the cost, coverage, claims process, and the provider.

One of the considerations is what the coverage is actually costing. Currently, mobile phone carriers entice customers with low monthly premiums, ranging from $ 7 to $ 12 with a high deductible of up to $ 199 every time you file a claim. The monthly premiums add up to about $ 288 for two years of coverage plus up to $ 200 for the deductible for a smart phone for a total out of pocket cost of about $ 488 to insure a smart phone with only one claim. Imagine paying $ 199 deductible every time a claim had to be filed. Securranty, an alternative to the phone insurance offered by cell phone carriers, offers savings of up to 70% in savings along with a monthly installment option without interest or credit check and a low deductible of $ 50.

The second consideration is the coverage offered for the cost. The number of claims allowed over the life of the policy in addition to types of damage covered or excluded is an important comparison. Many providers do not clearly disclose the exclusions or the limits on the number of claims or the deductible. Take the time and effort to pick up the phone and call the provider with specific questions regarding the number of claims and exclusions. Securranty provides comparison data on different warranty providers on its Get Smart page or on the product page.

The claims process is another very important factor in choosing your extended warranty or insurance provider. All warranty providers at the end of the day will repair or replace the phone as per the terms and conditions. The question or the difference is how quickly the phone is repaired. Cell phone carriers may overnight a replacement phone, new or refurbished, the next day. However, this quick service costs up to $ 199 in deductible every time a claim is filed and premium paid over 2 years of up to $ 268. The cost can add up really fast if there is more than one claim in the policy period. Comparing to Securranty, the premium of $ 89 for 2 years with a $ 50 deductible provides substantial savings, but claims are processed in 3-5 days. The decision is over savings versus speed. If saving money is more important then having a phone replaced the next day, consider the use of a spare phone lying around the home or buy a spare phone with the money saved.

Another difference between Securranty and other providers is that they provide options

AutoWill significantly modernizes how people can write their Last Will and Testament. It’s cheaper than a couple of glasses of wine and it can be completed incredibly quickly.

AutoWill was created for the convenience of those who don’t always get around to doing the laborious tasks in life that are sometimes put at the bottom of the priority list, if on the list at all. This innovative app enables people to write, store and edit their Last Will and Testament free after an initial purchase of the app from iTunes.

Considering only 7% of people die before the age of 50, it is understandable that so many neglect this important task. It can be forgotten for many reasons including oversight, inconvenience, not getting around to it, and cost. In the case where no Last Will is written, ones estate can be given to the wrong beneficiaries, and in many circumstances, the estate is taken by the government.

“If you leave a spouse and children without writing a Last Will and Testament, and have an estate of less than

Reston, VA (PRWEB) December 01, 2011

MapMuse today announced the release of its 2011 data update to the Christmas Light Displays locator, a map-based web platform thats designed to give homeowners and other holiday decorators the chance to show off their holiday lights to thousands of internet visitors.

There are so many people out there with truly fantastic light displays, says Michael Pilon, owner of MapMuse. Why should their hard work go unnoticed by everyone but their neighbors? Boasting a rapidly growing, mostly crowdsourced database of over 800 homes and other venuesincluding public light shows and festivalsthe map allows holiday decorators to geotag their displays, as well as upload links, photos, contact details, and helpful background information. iPhone users can also download a free mobile version of the Christmas Light Displays locator from the iTunes App store.

MapMuse, an internet and app development company based out of Reston, Virginia, has a long history of creating seasonal maps for the general public. As the winter holiday season rolls around each year, they launch data updates to around a dozen Christmas-themed locator web maps, ranging from Mall Santas to Sleigh Rides to Pie Shops. We do our best to get accurate data for each business or event, says Pilon. Nobody wants to bring their kid to Mall Santa only to find out his run at the mall ended two weeks ago. The same can be said for new submissions to the Christmas Light Displays locator, which are a vetted for authenticity and accuracy before going live on the map (although the onus is on the decorators to update details about their old displays). Users are also encouraged to suggest corrections and additions to pre-existing listings, as well as submit reviews and additional photos.

The Christmas Light Displays map can be accessed at http://find.mapmuse.com/interest/xmas-displays. A link to other Christmas-themed maps is available on the same page. iPhone and iPod Touch owners can download the free Christmas Light Displays locator app at http://www.mapmuse.com/christmaslights, where theyll find links to other seasonal apps, including the Winter Fun Locator (a map of sledding, skating, and skiing venues across the country).

Stockholm, Sweden & San Francisco, USA (PRWEB) October 13, 2011

Rebtel, the worlds second largest mobile VoIP company after Skype, today announced the launch of Rebtel 2.0, a new generation of intelligent applications designed for desktop and smartphones, which facilitates platform independent free high-quality calls. The free iPhone application, available today from iTunes, allows users to make and receive free international calls using WiFi/3G as well as local minutes. Texts and calls can also be done to any non-Rebtel users on any phone for rates up to 90% cheaper than the standard international calling rate of an average carrier. The app also introduces a new proprietary Rebtel technology called KeepTalking, which by the push of a button allows users to seamlessly transition mid-call from WiFi/3G to local minutes. The iPhone and desktop applications will add to the Rebtel free call network already including Android and Blackberry applications and facilitate free calls between all existing platforms.

The market for voice is still twice that of all TV operators and three times more than all internet related revenues. Voice calls generated $ 628 billion of carrier operator revenues last year, meaning that two thirds of total revenues and half of total profits still come from voice calls. Mobile messaging generated 19% of total mobile operator revenues 45% of total profits. That means that voice and messaging produced 86% of all mobile operator revenues and 95% of their profits. The mobile VoIP market is expected to reach $ 36 billion in revenues by 2016 and by the end of 2011, there will be around 70 million mobile VoIP users according to a study from Visiongain 2011.

The industry is full of exciting innovations such as GroupMe, Tango and Viber, however these services are limited to those who have downloaded these apps and those who have strong enough data coverage. Rebtel has none of these limitations and addresses them with one single app, said Andreas Bernstrom, CEO of Rebtel. Our app makes smart decisions based on price and data connection quality. The app allows you to call any phone or PC anywhere over WiFi/3G or the cellular network using local minutes, and allows users to seamlessly switch between the two if data coverage deteriorates. Its the best of both worlds and will ensure huge user savings of up to 40% compared to services like Skype.

Rebtel 2.0 offers the following features and benefits:

KeepTalking

For situations when the WiFi/3G connection is not good enough to sustain a call, Rebtel introduces KeepTalking, allowing users to simply press a button on the iPhone call screen during a WiFi/3G call to seamlessly improve the connection from data to local numbers and still be able to make a Free International Call using Rebtels applications and local numbers in 53 countries. The new innovation KeepTalking aims to increase voice quality, reduce phone bills and greatly reduce dropped calls. With the new applications it is now possible to keep calling internationally for free even when you transfer from data to a regular mobile call.

Platform Independent Free Calls Between Rebtel App Users

Calls to friends who are running any Rebtel application on a smartphone or PC can be made for free over WiFi/3G as well as using local minutes. These contacts are labeled Free in the in-app contact list to make it simple to see whos already using Rebtel, and who you should invite. Whenever a friend or business acquaintance in a users contact list downloads Rebtel 2.0, a PUSH message is sent as a notification. Rebtel also offers SMS to any mobile phone number, with an average cost savings of approximately 60% over U.S. carriers.

Contact Integration

Rebtel 2.0 works with each users own contact list wherever it might live. The companys mobile offerings integrate with the phones native address book, while the PC app allows you to connect with third-party services such as Google Contacts and Facebook.

Easy Set-up

With the new Rebtel applications, the sign up process is reduced to one single step where the user simply connects their phone to the Rebtel network. Immediately after signup, the user can see which friends in their contact list they can call for free.

About Rebtel

Rebtel is the worlds second largest mobile VoIP company. Today, Rebtel is growing rapidly with more than 13 million callers and with a run rate of over 1 billion minutes per year. The company is on pace to hit $ 75 million in revenue run rate end of 2011. Rebtel users call through smartphone or desktop applications or any other phone to make free or cheap international calls using either data calls globally or one of the worlds largest local number network for calling from 50 Rebtel countries.

Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) November 08, 2011

Apple users often experience the if-only scenario: If only the iPod Touch comes with voice/sms features; if only all iPads come with 3G option (but without another 3G contract); if only the iPhone supports dual-SIM, and so on. To answer such dilemma, Skyroam (http://www.skyroam.com), an emerging wireless company, introduces the Skyroam Gmate Transformer as the single solution.

The Gmate Transformer is a small, lightweight device where one can insert any SIM card, and route all voice/sms/Internet to the Apple device via Bluetooth. With Gmate, one can now use iPod Touch as an ultra-thin smartphone, making and receiving calls/sms or surf the net anywhere; Apple users can use the iPad to get on Internet anywhere, anytime without another expensive 3G contract; or enjoy dual-SIM feature on the iPhone, especially needed while traveling from country to country without expensive roaming charges.

Simply put:

1. iPhone + Gmate = Dual SIM iPhone

2. iTouch + Gmate = iPhone

3. iPad + Gmate = iPad with Internet/voice/sms

Since Gmate is a standalone device that communicates with the iOS device via Bluetooth, one can keep it hidden in ones pocket or bag rendering it invisible, while keeping the iOS device free of any physical attachments. In addition, Gmate will soon supports various Android smartphones and pads, therefore covering more than 70% of existing communication devices in the market today worldwide.

Gmate has much more potential than just a fun accessory for the iTouch, says Jing Liu, CEO and Founder of Skyroam, Its also very useful for business travelers, who often switches between SIM cards when travelling internationally. Since launching in early September 2011, initial market reaction is extremely positive; Paul Chang, Vice President of THL Mobile said: “Our customers from major retailers around the world are excited about Gmate and has been very successful at selling to Apple and Android users. As a major distributor of Gmate, we are excited to work with Skyroam to service the smartphone community.”
