China's National Weather Bureau to Install Multiple Telairity Encoders

Telairity Partner Beijing Blue Satellite Communication Awarded Weather Bureau Contract for BE8500 Encoders

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 23 -- Telairity, a global leader in encoding technology, announced today that the China Meteorological Administration, the national weather bureau of the People's Republic of China, will use Telairity's BE8500 encoders throughout its country-wide system. The BE8500 is the world's first dynamic dual-mode HD/SD (High Definition/Standard Definition) encoder able to easily interconvert between multiple advanced compression standards, including both the H.264/AVC standard and China's own AVS standard.

Beijing Blue Satellite Communication Technology Co., Ltd. (BSC), a Telairity partner headquartered in Beijing, was awarded the Administration's satellite application project.  BSC provides professional satellite communications equipment, and develops long-range satellite communications networks in China and abroad.

The BE8500 encoder is a 1RU single channel HD/SD unit capable of hot-switching between a high-definition and standard-definition video source. It also features easy conversion between H.264/AVC and China's AVS compression technology. Since the BE8500 can accept source input in any format, HD or SD, and output an encoded stream targeted to any type of screen: HD, SD, or mobile, it literally offers customers such as the Weather Bureau compression without boundaries.  According to BSC, in addition to its unprecedented flexibility, the Telairity system was selected over other systems because of its industry-leading low 150ms encode latency, its ability to maintain outstanding picture quality while achieving extremely low bit rates for both HD and SD formats, and its 1080P-ready capabilities.

The Meteorological Administration's choice of BSC is based on BSC's proven record as one of China's premier major systems integrators for satellite applications, and a distributor of equipment from both Chinese and offshore companies.  Among its government clients are units of the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Health, China Meteorological Administration, China Civil Aviation Administration and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT). BSC indicated that additional large scale Telairity encoder sales to other government agencies as well as more details about the meteorological administration project will be announced in the very near future.

"We would like to express our appreciation to BSC, one of our major partners in China, for their hard work and diligence in bringing our encoders to the attention of their governmental clients," said Ben Silva, Telairity Senior VP of Worldwide Sales and Business Development.  "These announcements prove that our company's ongoing policies of excellence in manufacturing, total ownership of all aspects of our encoding technologies, and our on-site presence in China are appreciated by our partners as we continue developing relations with China's vast new communications marketplace."

Freecom Data Recovery Service Protects Data On Any Hard Drive

LONDON, March 23, 2010--

    - New Data Recovery Service Gives End Users Peace of Mind About the
Safety of Their Digital Data for Less Than GBP 1 a Month

    Freecom, a Mitsubishi Kagaku Media company, today announced
its Data Recovery Service, designed to give end users peace of mind that
their valuable information and memories can be recovered even if their hard
drive crashes. The service is available for just GBP 24.95 (including VAT)
for three years cover for any hard drive - without this kind of protection,
full data recovery can easily cost up to GBP 1,500.

    Hard drives crash for a number of reasons - some of which are
impossible to prevent. For example, Freecom estimates that 1 percent of
failures are due to natural disaster, 8 percent are caused by computer
viruses or malware, 14 percent are damaged by software failure, 28 percent
break because of human error, and hardware failures account for the other 49
percent.

    The Data Recovery Service is available to buy at all major PC
retailers and online from http://www.freecom.co.uk. The service covers any
external hard drive, no matter which brand, as well as those found in
computers and laptops. End users simply register their device, and in the
event of a hard drive crash, all data will typically be recovered within two
weeks and returned it to the user with no additional costs for postage and
packaging.

    "We all have so much valuable data - from family pictures and
videos, to sensitive business information - stored on our computers and on
hard drives today, and when these break it can be devastating," said Axel
Lucassen, Managing Director at Freecom. "Our first piece of advice would to
back up all this information in multiple locations to be extra sure you won't
lose it all. Many people want even greater assurance though and this is where
our Data Recovery Service fits in - for a minimal fee, we can give you peace
of mind that we can recover your data should your hard drive break. You
wouldn't think twice about protecting your car or your home, so why risk your
memories?"

    Freecom's Data Recovery Service is a partnership with LazaRus,
an expert in data recovery with more than 15 years experience. Using a unique
recovery technique, Freecom and LazaRus have more than a 98 percent success
rate for recovering data from new computers/notebooks, and can successfully
retrieve data from over 85 percent of external hard drives.

    Freecom and LazaRus have also released their top tips to avoid losing
data in the first place:

   
    1. If you lose your data, do not tamper with the device, as you risk
       overwriting your data
    2. Keep your computer and your external hard drive away from sources of
       heat
    3. Remember to turn off external hard drives when not in use, especially
       multimedia ones
    4. In the case of external hard drives, be careful not to hit or shake
       the device sharply while it is in operation
    5. Defragment your device often - this means the mechanical components of
       the hard drive will move less, thereby avoiding excessive wear
    6. Install anti-virus software, and keep it UPDATED!
    7. Place your external hard drive in a hard drive sleeve when you do not
       use it

Salesforce.com and Telegraph Media Group Launch Debate2010

UK elections to leverage cloud computing to map public opinion for the first time - allowing the public to post, vote and comment on ideas in real time

LONDON, March 23 -- Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM), the enterprise cloud computing company, and Telegraph Media Group http://telegraph.co.uk/, publishers of The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Telegraph, Telegraph.co.uk and The Telegraph weekly world edition, have joined forces to launch Debate2010 http://debate2010.co.uk/, the UK's largest online debate and discussion forum for the forthcoming General Election.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050216/SFW105LOGO)

Debate2010 is the first crowd-sourcing site in the UK to report national opinion in real-time and is designed to facilitate debate in the run up to the General Election. The public will be able to debate topics, post ideas, vote and comment on the issues that most concern them.  Debate2010 will run until polling day and will highlight areas such as healthcare, education, crime, the economy and foreign affairs.

The site was developed using Salesforce Ideas, a crowd-sourcing application delivered in the cloud and enables users to vote on policies and debate topics. With the voting system pushing the most popular ideas to the surface, Debate2010.co.uk will offer a clear overview of what the public really thinks of the key political issues. Debate2010.co.uk was built and launched in less than four weeks and utilises the same groundbreaking technology that the Obama-Biden Transition team used to conduct a successful crowd-sourcing project in the U.S. Issues that appear high on the agenda will form the basis of a UK Citizens Briefing Book to MPs and political parties - a unique compilation of the ideas submitted by the Debate2010 community, which will outline the UK's opinion on key priorities.

  Comments on the news:
  --  Marcus Warren, editor, Telegraph.co.uk, said, "Telegraph Media Group
      will be leading the way during the election campaign. Our partnership
      with salesforce.com  gives our readers a truly exciting and innovative
      way of engaging with the real issues. Social media will be a central
      theme of the 2010 Election. There will be no better tool to map public
      opinion in the weeks ahead."
  --  Dr. Steve Garnett, chairman of EMEA, salesforce.com, added, "By
      teaming up with Telegraph Media Group to create Debate2010, we are
      inviting the UK's population to have a say. This fantastic example of
      how cloud computing can translate into the public sector provides a
      wake up call for politicians. Engaging in interactive, online
      discussions is the future of politics."
  --  David Bradshaw, research manager, IDC, said, "This is an excellent
      example of how cloud-based technology can reshape the debate and help
      to engage public opinion. It could also re-shape the nature of
      political debate moving forward. Following the U.S. election,
      capturing social media conversations to determine the mind-set of a
      country proved a powerful phenomenon. Another important change is the
      way that media organizations are moving their business into the cloud
      to take advantage of the flexibility and scale it offers, and here
      Telegraph Media Group certainly seems to be in advance of its peers in
      the UK."

Group 2000 to Deliver Data Retention Solutions Powered by RainStor

LONDON, March 23, 2010--

    - Innovative System Integrator in the Telecommunications and
Internet Market Embeds RainStor in Lawful Interception, Data Retention and
ICT Services to Address EU Data Retention Directive

    RainStor http://rainstor.com , an infrastructure software company that
provides the leading repository for historical structured data, today
announced a new partnership with Group 2000 to deliver data retention
solutions in the telecommunications market. Group 2000, an innovative company
delivering Network Forensics, Communication Services and ICT Services, will
embed RainStor within its LIMA Lawful Interception and Data Retention
products.

    Group 2000 helps telecommunication service operators, Internet service
providers and governments solve communication and security issues in more
than 20 countries. LIMA is Group 2000's portfolio for lawful interception and
data retention products that provide reliable and cost-effective solutions
for all types of communication networks and data. The solutions can be set up
in a company's own network as a Corporate Data Retention solution or hosted
within an ASP model as a Managed Data Retention service.

    "Under the EU Data Retention Directive, operators and ISP's across Europe
are facing laws that demand them to store the traffic data records of the
communications they handle for their customers," says Richard Coppens,
managing director of Group 2000. "The volume of data that these operators
will be expected to retain is also growing as they launch new services and IP
traffic increases. In response to these challenges, we've enhanced our data
retention solutions to help customers minimize the upfront investment and
ongoing operational costs of complying with these regulations. When we were
looking for a technology partner to support this effort, we found that
RainStor's extreme data compression, support for commodity hardware and ease
of maintenance made it an obvious choice as our underlying data management
platform."

    Group 2000 is the latest independent software vendor (ISV) and system
integrator to join the "Powered by RainStor" partner program and embed
RainStor within its online data retentions solutions. "We continue to attract
ISVs looking for easier and more cost-effective ways to retain historical
data within their solutions," says Julian Cook, VP marketing and business
development at RainStor. "In the telecommunications industry many operators
are only just beginning to understand the cost and complexity of complying
with data retention mandates using traditional database and data warehouse
technologies. We're delighted that after an extensive evaluation of our
technology, Group 2000 is convinced that we lead the market in reducing the
hardware and resources required for information storage, retrieval and
handover. The combination of Group 2000's expertise in this area and our
pioneering technology will deliver real value to Group 2000 customers."

Ocean Blue Demonstrates Turnkey HbbTV Solution at CCBN2010

BEIJING, March 23 -- Digital TV software specialist Ocean Blue Software is demonstrating its full turnkey Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV (HbbTV) - compatible software solution at China Content Broadcasting Network Expo (CCBN), the world's leading Digital TV (DTV) and broadband network industries event, from 23-25 March at the China International Exhibition Center (CIEC) in Beijing, China.

The new solution, was developed in partnership with a leading web browser provider, and combines industry leading web browsing technology with Ocean Blue Software's (OBS) Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) middleware which incorporates the HbbTV extensions and can be integrated into a third party HbbTV browser.

Ken Helps, CEO at Ocean Blue Software said, "Our engineers have added the HbbTV extensions to Sunrise, Ocean Blue's proven DVB stack, and the DSM-CC. The resulting package will enable OEMs to deliver to TV-viewers a premium and feature-rich video and audio experience through their set top box or Internet connected TV by providing full support for next-generation broadcast (NGB) portals and services, such as ARD/ ZDF Mediathek, Tagesschau and ARTE."

Futuresource Consulting, a UK-based specialist research company, anticipates that by the end of 2010, the installed base of Internet connected TVs in Europe will have expanded to around 15 million devices, representing nearly 10% of the total number of flat panels in use. The consultancy says the next step for manufacturers is to add more compelling video services including paid for movie streaming. Broadband TV News agrees with the analysis, but added that the TV companies will have to go some way to match the offers available either through the iTunes store, or more importantly the pay-TV platforms with who they will be directly competing.*

Ocean Blue predicts that similar trends will emerge across the rapidly growing broadband broadcast markets in Asia, and in China in particular. China is the world's largest Internet, telecommunications and broadcast media market by number of users. More than 100 cities in China have already completed the transition from analog to digital TV laying the foundation for NGB.

This new HbbTV software product offers CE vendors and OEMs, many of which are based in Asia, to adopt an off-the-shelf solution developed to the HbbTV standard, therefore reducing time to market and reducing the risks associated with deploying unproven technology.

Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV (HbbTV) was announced in August 2009 as a pan-European initiative to combine the delivery of broadcast and broadband content through connected TVs and set top boxes. The emergence of the 'Digital Home' and connected devices is rapidly gaining momentum in China and around the world.

Helps said, "OBS' participation at CCBN2010 in Beijing reflects our commitment to address the market requirements of China's DTV and set top box OEMs and to satisfy the consumer-led demand for superior video and audio experiences." He concluded, "With the China government's commitment to NGB and recent announcement of plans to converge the country's Internet, telecommunications and broadcast networks, we anticipate a boost for both local and global service providers, applications developers and hardware manufacturers."

Visit us at CCBN 2010 from 23-25 March at the China International Exhibition Center (CIEC) in Beijing, China.

If you would like to book a demo or arrange a meeting please contact us.

Ocean Blue Software has written a white paper advocating the concept of combining the major software standards, for example DVB, Adobe Flash Lite and HTML, into one software stack and on a single chipset in order to address this emerging market driven by the likes of HbbTV and Canvas. The white paper is titled 'Octopus' and can be downloaded free of charge from Ocean Blue's website.

Sendori - Pioneer in Direct Navigation Search - Announces Approval of Key U.S. Technology Patents

OAKLAND, Calif., March 22 -- Sendori, an operating business of IAC (NASDAQ:IACI) and division of Ask Sponsored Listings, today announced that it has been granted approval on applications for two individual U.S. patents relating to its core web navigation redirect technology.

Sendori's patent application numbers on file with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office are 11/532,833 and 12/048,991. They relate to "an electronic marketplace which allows owners of unused domain names to lease their domains to bidding advertisers". Advertisers receive visitors redirected from unused domains which match their keywords.

"We are thrilled to have the Sendori patent approved. It cements our position as innovators in the domain monetization space," said Ofer Ronen, cofounder of Sendori.

Sendori sends qualified visitors from undeveloped web domains directly to advertiser websites. Founded in 2006, Sendori developed the newly patented technology to enable search advertisers and domain owners to mutually benefit from typed-in domain traffic. The Sendori model dramatically improves the direct navigation user experience delivering content pages from national and local advertisers instead of generic pages populated with sponsored links.

  Sendori was acquired by Ask Sponsored Listings in January 2009.

  About Sendori

Sendori is the next generation exchange for direct navigation search. The company sends qualified visitors from undeveloped web domains to advertiser websites. The Sendori exchange provides more than 130 thousand advertisers with access to 33 million unique visitors each month. Sendori is based in California. Please visit: http://www.sendori.com/.

LA Galaxy's Landon Donovan and Visa Collaborate to Create 'Financial Soccer' - Free, Educational Video Game

Donovan Launches Soccer-Themed Personal Finance Game at L.A. High School

LOS ANGELES, March 22 -- As part of an ongoing global financial literacy effort, Visa Inc. has joined with Los Angeles Galaxy Captain Landon Donovan to launch a new FIFA World Cup(TM) branded educational video game to Venice High School students. This free game was developed with help from Donovan himself, who is recently back from a successful stint playing in England and ready to start the MLS season at the end of the week. Additionally, as part of this initiative, Visa has donated 10 Apple MacBooks to Venice High School to play Financial Soccer and for other academic uses.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100322/DC74434)

Visa's Financial Soccer is an educational video game that combines the world's most popular sport with a high-quality financial literacy curriculum to create an innovative approach for helping children and adults learn about personal finance. In addition to helping create educational questions for the soccer-themed personal finance game, Donovan also appears on the game's cover and website.

A FIFA Partner since 2007, Visa has been working to roll out Financial Soccer in over 25 countries in the months leading up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup(TM). This multilingual game is available at http://www.financialsoccer.com. Financial Soccer is part of Practical Money Skills for Life, Visa's free, award-winning, financial education program. The program contains comprehensive money management resources and lesson plans tailored for use at home and in the classroom. The game is the latest component of Visa's longstanding commitment to financial literacy which has helped millions of people worldwide learn how to manage their money wisely.

"We share Landon Donovan's deep commitment to promoting financial literacy and we are pleased to be working with him on the Financial Soccer video game," said Jason Alderman, Director of Financial Education, Visa Inc. "It is critical, especially in today's challenging economic environment, that everyone have access to the tools and resources they need to make informed financial decisions."

"It would have been great to learn more about personal finance when I was in school," said Donovan, who also captains the U.S. national team bound for the 2010 World Cup in just 80 days. "I've enjoyed working with Visa to help create and launch Financial Soccer, providing today's students with the opportunity and tools to learn about the financial world in ways that were never available to me when I was younger."

Financial Soccer challenges players to answer fast-paced, multiple-choice money management questions correctly to advance down the field for a chance to score a goal. Financial Soccer offers single player and head-to-head game play options and is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Arabic with additional versions in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Bahasa launching next month. This free game features three difficulty levels -- geared to children, teens and adults -- and has companion lesson modules for classroom use. Players learn key concepts about saving, responsible spending, budgeting, and the wise use of credit.

Financial Soccer comes on the heels of Visa's financial literacy video game developed with the NFL and NFL PLAYERS. To date, that game -- Financial Football -- has been donated by Visa to 25 state governments, including California, who have in turn, distributed it to every public high school in those states.

Flightwise Brings Professional Flight Tracking to the iPhone

ORLANDO, Fla., March 22 -- Flightwise, the world's longest-running, web-based flight tracking service announces the availability of its flight tracking applications for the iPhone mobile platform.

Available in three flavors: "Free", "Lite", and "Pro", the applications provide easy-to-use, mobile versions of the same data available at the flightwise.com website.

The Free version provides the ability to track aircraft by entering basic search criteria, such as a flight ID, destination or departure airport (as well as others), and also provides the ability to display all active flights around the users current location.  Current weather radar for the US is displayed along with the flight track.  The free version is ad-supported.

The Lite version sells for US$.99, and provides the same features as the free version without ads.

The Pro version sells for US$9.99, and provides a number of additional features, including scrollable maps with pinch-to-zoom, US FAA Sectional and IFR chart overlays, and the capability to enter more complex search queries.  The Pro version also provides the ability to track multiple aircraft at the same time, and those users with existing Flightwise website subscriptions can track flights from their website-created "FleetWatch" lists.  In addition to these features, users can view tracks on past-flights (historical flights), registration information, detailed flight plan information, and more.

All three versions provide both text-based "lists" of flight data, as well as graphical maps of the related tracks and airport pairs.  Each also allows users to upload photographs of specific aircraft using photos taken right from the phone.

Flightwise flight tracking data is currently limited to flights within US and surrounding airspace; the apps are geared towards the aviation industry, and are not intended for the casual traveler.  All of the applications are available now on the iTunes App Store.  For more information, click to http://flightwise.com/iphone.aspx

Motorola and Sprint Announce World's First Push-To-Talk Android-Powered Smartphone - Motorola i1

Combines military spec ruggedness with the latest in smartphone technology, into a sleek touch screen design

LAS VEGAS, March 22 -- CTIA WIRELESS - Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) and Sprint (NYSE:S) today broke new ground with the announcement of Motorola i1, the world's first push-to-talk Android(TM)-powered smartphone.  Sleek and attractive, yet durable, Motorola i1 is the first iDEN device to carry the features of a modern smartphone including a 3.1-inch touch screen, Wi-Fi®, optimized browsing experience with the latest Opera Mini 5 browser, access to thousands of apps and a push-to-talk experience that includes exciting new features.  Sprint will begin offering Motorola i1 this summer.

With more than 17 years of expertise, Sprint is the industry leader in push-to-talk, serving the world's largest push-to-talk community with millions of Nextel Direct Connect subscribers on the fastest national push-to-talk network. Nextel Direct Connect® has set the industry standard for push-to-talk worldwide. More U.S. workers communicate in less than a second with Nextel Direct Connect than with any other push-to-talk service.

"Motorola remains focused on delivering differentiated Android experiences within our product portfolio," said Mark Shockley, senior vice president, Motorola Mobile Devices.  "With the Motorola i1, we're excited to offer iDEN users the opportunity to enjoy a feature-rich smartphone with push-to-talk, whether it's for work or play."

"As the first Nextel Direct Connect Android smartphone, Motorola i1 with Wi-Fi offers a powerful tool for our customers with access to thousands of applications in the Android Market(TM)," said Fared Adib, vice president - Product Development, Sprint.  "With rugged durability, a full touchscreen and 5 megapixel camera, Motorola i1 gives push-to-talk customers a compelling smartphone that can withstand some of the harshest environments."

Motorola i1 enhances the push-to-talk experience with the ability to view who is calling regardless of what application you are in, whether you are managing your emails, checking your calendar, composing messages or viewing media.

Must-have Features and Nextel Direct Connect

With solid body construction that meets military specifications for protection against dust, shock, vibration and blowing rain(1), Motorola i1 is designed for those who work and play hard. It automatically syncs and integrates office and personal information such as emails, calendar appointments and contacts. Key features include:

  --  Popular business tools such as Microsoft Document Viewer and corporate
      sync ensure Word or PowerPoint files can be accessed on the go.
  --  Message entry is a breeze with both Android standard virtual keyboard
      and Swype(TM) virtual keyboards being offered.
  --  A 5 megapixel camera with flash, geo-tagging and panoramic
      capabilities provides crisp photos and clearly displays them on the
      vibrant 3.1-inch HVGA screen. Video can also be recorded and stored on
      a provided microSD for sharing or future viewing straight from the
      device.
  --  The latest Opera Mini 5 browser enables quick browsing over the Nextel
      National Network and Wi-Fi. The Android browser allows you to see web
      pages and Flash 8-enabled sites in full view using Wi-Fi.
  --  Motorola i1 can be continuously customized with thousands of
      applications from Android Market(TM).

Application development information for Motorola i1 is available on the Sprint Application Developer web site at http://www.sprint.com/developer. Sprint offers developers a free sandbox with iDEN capabilities to test their apps. Sprint is a charter member of the Open Handset Alliance(TM) and the Sprint Application Developer Program has been providing tools for third-party developers since Sprint first launched the Wireless Web on its phones in 2001.

In addition, Motorola provides developers with broad market reach through MOTODEV, the company's global program for developers and independent software vendors (ISVs).  MOTODEV offers a streamlined path into multiple distribution channels including Android Market(TM) and operator channels. Developers interested in Android application development with Motorola can visit: http://developer.motorola.com/.

New Relationship with Mike Rowe

In addition to introducing Android into push-to-talk devices, Motorola is also bringing a new face to its iDEN portfolio: Mike Rowe. Mike has worked as an apprentice at more than 250 of the toughest jobs in America, and his experience and reputation as a hard worker are a perfect fit for Motorola's iDEN portfolio. The new relationship announced today will feature Mike as a spokesperson for Motorola's rugged push-to-talk devices.

"Typically, the work I've done tends to take its toll on my phones and I end up breaking 'em on the job," said Mike. "It'll be fun to use one that's not afraid of a little dirt."

Motorola is also supporting mikeroweWORKS, a public relations campaign for skilled labor that Mike launched on Labor Day of 2008.

"It's really gratifying to see some big companies getting behind the notion that working hard is just as important as working smart," said Mike. "I'm happy to talk about a phone that can do both."

Availability and Pricing

Motorola i1 will be available through Sprint in North America in the summer of 2010. Customers interested in Motorola i1 can pre-register at http://www.sprint.com/motoi1 or http://www.motorola.com.

Motorola i1 offers advanced data capabilities that will require activation on a plan that includes unlimited data.  For just $69.99 per month Sprint's Everything Data 450 plan with Any Mobile, Anytime(SM) gives customers unlimited calling with any U.S. wireless user, unlimited Direct Connect and Group Connect®, and unlimited nationwide texting, email, web browsing and GPS Navigation. (All price plans exclude surcharges and taxes).

Phone Halo Protect Launches at DEMO Spring 2010

Phone Application Prevents Loss and Misplacement

PALM DESERT, Calif., March 22 -- Phone Halo, a mobile device application company specializing in products that fuse smartphone applications and wireless accessories, has launched its first product, Phone Halo Protect, at DEMO Spring 2010.  Phone Halo Protect solves the common and costly problem of losing and misplacing your phone, keys, wallet, and other valuables.

"Phone Halo Protect works by attaching a small Bluetooth device to keys, purse, or other valuables.  Software runs on the phone to track the distance between the phone and device.  When the two become separated, both ring and alert you," explains Phone Halo CTO, Chris Herbert.  "This is a truly preventative solution to loss."

"Phone Halo's unique combination of mobile applications and wireless hardware opens a new world of opportunities," said Matt Marshall, Executive Producer of DEMO.  "I have misplaced my phone, keys, and wallet too many times.  Phone Halo's solution is elegant and unique."

The Phone Halo Protect application has 4 main functions: Protect, Find, Locate, and Share.

Protect:  Whenever the phone or halo'd valuable becomes separated, both phone and halo device ring to alert the user of the impending loss.

Locate:  The user can ring the halo'd device by pressing a button on the phone to allow the halo'd item to easily be found.  The user can hold a button on the halo device to cause the phone to ring.

Recover:  Whenever the user loses their phone or halo'd item, Phone Halo Protect records the GPS location to show the user where they last saw their valuables.

Share:  The Phone Halo Protect share option lets the user easily share they've lost an item through email, text, and posts to their social networks.

Phone Halo is currently available for Android and Blackberry phones.  iPhone is coming soon.
