<p>infiniteNIL today announces Phone Word 3.0 for iOS, an update to their Social Networking app, which generates words that a phone number spells out. For example, commercials frequently make a phone number memorable by saying, &#8220;Call 355-DUNK to buy basketball tickets,&#8221; rather than the more mundane 355-3865. Phone Word users simply enter any phone number and the app generates a list of possible mnemonics. Phone words are easily saved, and the app&#8217;s built-in, 26,000 word dictionary is expandable.</p>
<p>Sandy, Utah &#8211; infiniteNIL today announces Phone Word 3.0 for iOS, an update to their remarkably useful Social Networking app, which generates words that a phone number spells out. For example, commercials frequently make a phone number memorable by saying, &#8220;Call 355-DUNK to buy basketball tickets,&#8221; rather than the more mundane 355-3865. Users simply enter any phone number and the app generates a list of possible, mnemonic phone words. Phone words are easily saved, and users may add custom words to the app&#8217;s built-in 26,000 word dictionary.</p>
<p>It is often difficult to procure a memorable phone number. Phone Word solves the problem by discovering the memorable phone number users may already have without knowing it. After entering the digits of a phone number, the app generates a list of possible phone words. Of the dozens of choices, one usually jumps out as the perfect choice. Once a user has chosen a phone word to stand-in for a phone number, it can be easily saved for easy retrieval, dialing, and accessing its corresponding contact person.</p>
<p>Phone Word makes is easy to share newly minted phone words via integrated email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. connectivity. Instantly, phone numbers become easier to remember. Lending the app the ultimate in personalization, is the ability to add custom words to its lookup dictionary. Add the names of brands, pets, places, slang, personal monikers, jargon, technical terms, foreign words, acronyms, and more to generate phone words that are so appropriate, the phone number appears especially made for that contact.</p>
<p>Feature Highlights:<br />
* Find phone words by entering a phone number or selecting one from the Contacts app<br />
* Share phone words via Facebook, Twitter, and email<br />
* Save phone words<br />
* Access contact for a phone word<br />
* Dial a phone word<br />
* Add your own words that Phone Word will use to find words<br />
* Quickly add the names of your contacts and Facebook friends to your custom dictionary</p>
<p>The latest Phone Word, version 3.0 features a new user interface, the ability to save phone words, a built-in listing of phone words with their contacts (complete with thumbnail photo), dialing of contacts, and sharing phone words through social media.</p>
<p>&#8220;Phone numbers are much easier to remember with phone words and they&#8217;re a lot more fun,&#8221; according to Rod Schmidt of infiniteNIL. &#8220;You may not have to hassle with the phone company or change numbers to have a memorable phone number for yourself, your friends, or your business.&#8221;</p>

Using Twitter&#8217;s Open API, TweetDAQ delivers a competitive game element to the Twitter phenomena. The free app charts performance on Twitter, recording weekly figures and all time highs across a number of measures. TweetDAQ offers Game Center integration, with leader boards, as well as unique stats such as &#8216;Sphere of Influence.&#8217;</p>
<p>Cheltenham, United Kingdom &#8211; The games publisher Funbox Media is pleased to announce the release of TweetDAQ for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, a free app that charts performance on Twitter recording weekly figures and all time highs across a number of measures. The app works by plugging into Twitter&#8217;s Open API, and recording the latest account information every time it is loaded.</p>
<p>Number of tweets, retweets received, new followers and several more figures are listed to give some measure of Twitter performance and leader boards and Game Center integration make it a very competitive pastime.</p>
<p>Victoria Hatch, director of Nyx Digital, the developer of the app said, &#8220;Like many things, the idea for this was conceived in conversation with friends. A few of us were discussing Twitter and how many followers we each had. I really wanted to see how I was doing each week and the app developed from there.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Originally the idea was to provide a means of keeping track of a Twitter account; how it ebbs and flows from week to week  but we realised early in development how much fun was to be had in comparing stats so we built leader boards and integrated it with Game Center and the game element really took shape from there.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re really keen to see how it evolves; how people use it. We want the feedback we get to really shape the direction the next iteration takes. Its an open project and we&#8217;re excited to see where it goes!&#8221;</p>
<p>Features:<br />
* Game Centre Integration<br />
* Leaderboards<br />
* Invites<br />
* Unique stats such as &#8216;Sphere of Influence&#8217;</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 3/4G iPod touch and iPad<br />
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First Light Design&#8217;s, Founder and President, Mike Smithwick, will be live tweeting and blogging about his experiences at the upcoming launch of the unmanned Dragon spacecraft from SpaceX, marking the first time in history that a commercial company will attempt to send a spacecraft to the International Space Station. Launch is scheduled for Saturday, May 19 at 4:55 am Eastern Time. Mike will be tweeting, posting to Facebook and blogging in the day prior to the launch and then in real time.</p>
<p>San Jose, California &#8211; First Light Design&#8217;s (Distant Suns), Founder and President, Mike Smithwick, will be live tweeting and blogging about his experiences at the upcoming launch of the unmanned Dragon spacecraft from SpaceX, marking the first time in history that a commercial company will attempt to send a spacecraft to the International Space Station. Launch is scheduled for Saturday, May 19 at 4:55 am Eastern Time. Mike will be tweeting (@distantsuns), posting to Facebook and blogging in the day prior to the launch and then in real time as it happens.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have had the good fortune of being invited to witness the launch of the Falcon 9/Dragon mission at Cape Canaveral,&#8221; said Mike. &#8220;This will be my seventh launch, having seen Apollo 11, 15, and 17 take off, two shuttle missions and the Cosmic Background Explorer. Few things are more spectacular than an Apollo-Saturn V (at night no less), but any orbital launch is exciting nonetheless. This one will have an excitement all it&#8217;s own &#8211; a commercial vehicle delivering a cargo to the International Space Station, something only a few governments have ever accomplished.&#8221;</p>
<p>After the launch, Mike will head back to California to live tweet the solar eclipse on Sunday, May 20.</p>

<p>The creators of the hit iPhone game Doodle Army have loaded a pickup truck with weapons: Shotgun, Chainsaw, Several Automatic Weapons, Hunting Rifle and more &#8211; to help Roy Rage drive his way across UnDeath Valley in Zombie Road Rage. Help Roy Rage an ardent &#8220;Redneck&#8221; drive one of two pickup trucks across UnDEATH Valley in pursuit of escaping from being eaten by an endless stream of zombies in the unforgiving &#8220;Zombie Apocalypse.&#8221; Choose from a regular gas guzzling pickup truck or the electric.</p>
<p>Tampa, Florida &#8211; From the creators of Doodle Army, Doodle Army 2 and other hit iPhone apps comes Zombie Road Rage an endless driver game. Help Roy Rage an ardent &#8220;Redneck&#8221; drive one of two pickup trucks across UnDEATH Valley in pursuit of escaping from being eaten by an endless stream of zombies in the unforgiving &#8220;Zombie Apocalypse.&#8221;</p>
<p>Choose from a regular gas guzzling pickup truck or a much greener option, the electric truck. Both trucks can be suited with armor for extra protection helping players to last a bit longer as they avoid the many damaging obstacles on the road, not to mention those pesky zombies that will get in your way and also damage your truck. This game features plenty of weapons to clear Roy&#8217;s path such as a shotgun, hunting rifle, chain saw and more. Drive until you drop, run out of gas or damage your vehicle beyond repair.</p>
<p>Additional features include a &#8220;No Blood&#8221; option that allows for users to turn off the gore, great for girls or young kids, 3 different control styles, endless gameplay, Apple Game Center scoring and achievements, plenty of banjo music and funny one liners from Roy as he mows down the massive numbers of undead.</p>
<p>How To Play:<br />
User your finger or thumb on the left side to guide the truck. Press the right side to fire weapons. Collect gas and wrenches to continue your journey shoot anything that move and screams &#8220;Fresh Brains.&#8221;</p>
