PageStreamer: iPhone app to read your favorite newspapers

Nowadays many people all around the world would like to read all their newspapers and magazines directly on their iPhone. This is now possible thanks the new Pagestreamer technology created by the Italian company 8080.

The functionality of this new solution is based on the fact that complete large digital documents, such as newspapers, can be spread in an easy, economic and user friendly way using a simple PDF file destined to become an highly optimized, visually pleasant and really usable iPhone application.

Through the implementation of this technology, publishers will be provided with an easy integration path with their current IT infrastructure.

Moreover it will be easier and faster for newspapers owners to manage subscriptions, to study download and usage statistics by monitoring crucial information about their audience: they will understand in this way the exact geographic distributions of readers, the most interesting stories, the advertisement performance and the precise usage hours.

Two important things have to be descibed: firs of all it won’t be necessary to wait for a long time in downloading texts before reading them. Secondly users will even have the possibility to listen a podcast version of each newspaper story, read aloud by a high quality synthetic voice, directly on the iPhone. To get more information about this new iPhone app it is possible to visit this website.

If an iPhone Falls in the Forest

iPhactory says its iPhorest app for iPhone and iPod touch, now on the Apple App Store, is an environmentally conscious app.

The idea apparently took root during the 2009 TED (technology, entertainment, design) Conference. TED started back in 1984, and is often associated with Canadian media mogul Moses Znaimer. To commemorate the development of iPhorest, Ecolife Apparel worked with other groups to plant 2,200 trees–one for each attendee.

The virtual iPhorest tree grows after being nurtured by the user. Once the seedling has been planted, the next screen shows the initial tree sprouted. Shaking the iPhone brings on a rain shower, and when the virtual sun shines, the tree begins to grow–reaching a new stage every day.
Additional trees can be planted in the forest view screen by clicking on a shovel, and you can even send your tree to others by pressing the share button.

There is also a world map of everyone who has downloaded the app, so you can see where other fellow iPhoresters are planting from.
iPhorest is available for $4.99 from Apple’s App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore , or www.iphorest.com/, and www.ecolifeunderwear.com
