television set, allowing customers to experience media
quality four times greater than the traditional HD options.
The new TV has gone on sale in the US with a recommended price of $19,999.99, with a
global roll-out expected over the coming months. LG has partnered with niche high-end
electronics supplier Video & Audio Centre to launch the device, which it expects to be the
next big trend in media viewing technology.
The system combines innovative 4K and HD technology to deliver a truly stunning visual
performance, with its proprietary "LG Resolution Upscaler Plus" technology automatically
converting HD programs into Ultra HD for the best viewing experience. Speaking after the
launch, Senior Vice President Jay Vandenbree enthused over the "crisp and immersive
viewing experience" provided by the device.
Airpush, a major developer of apps for the popular Android platform, has been named
the "Best Mobile Ad Network"

as part of the 2012 Mobile
Excellence Award ceremony in Los Angeles.
The award recognises the company's phenomenal success in delivering high quality,
conversion driven ads to the Android platform, after receiving the second highest level of
payouts from the Google Play store. Airpush is now the second largest Android mobile ad
network in the world, having managed to double its customer base every quarter for the
last 12 months.
The company allows app developers to build revenue generating advertisements into
their software, creating a miniature economy within the app store and ensuring that many
apps can remain free to customers at the point of use. Airpush intends to release new
software by the end of the year.
sMedio, an innovative Japanese developer of wireless technology, has announced the
launch of its new range of software, bringing two cutting edge programs to Windows 8
users.
The company has successfully launched TrueLink+ and TrueSync

to Windows and Android customers this week, allowing seamless and wireless
streaming of content between two devices over a local Wi-Fi network. Customers are also
able to use the software to easily transfer data from one system to another, easing the
process of setting up a new computer. The new software is part of the company's intention
to develop a comprehensive cloud based services solution, with its technology widely
integrated into Windows devices.
