New App Transfers Contacts And More From BlackBerry to iPhone

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) October 11, 2011

BlackBerry to iPhone switchers can now transfer contacts, calendars, text messages, email messages and more with BerryMover, a new app.

The need for this app seems huge. In a 2011 United Sample survey, over 66% of Verizon-based BlackBerry users said they would switch to an iPhone when it became available. Therefore, the numbers are staggering.

"Until this app, these folks couldnt properly transfer contacts from BlackBerry to iPhone," Tim Goggin, Co-Owner Of PocketMac said. "They were stuck. But now, all you need is a recent BlackBerry backup, iTunes and BerryMover. And youre all set to transfer all your data."

BerryMover works by reading backup files. It then gives the user the option of choosing which data they want to import.

Goggin added, "Our 7 years working with the BlackBerry gives us the know-how to import this data and work with backup files. In fact, for many years, Research In Motion licensed our Mac-BlackBerry sync software."

Every copy of BerryMover comes with a complete video tutorial on how to import BlackBerry data to your iPhone. The app also includes the ability to import data from more than one backup file.

Goggin continued, "Our customers ask us every day how they can get data from their old device to their new iPhone. Its holding them back and costing them money. Some customers have told us they have that one crucial text message or those dozen emails they need salvaged."

BerryMover will import all of the following data:

(*) Contacts

(*) Calendar

(*) Tasks

(*) Notes

(*) Text Messages

(*) Email Messages

Goggin concluded, "BerryMover makes the switch from BlackBerry to iPhone painless. Now switchers can transfer all their data over."

BerryMover is available now on the iTunes App Store for just $ 9.99.

Quick Printing Industry Market Research Now Available from IBISWorld

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) November 19, 2011

The Quick Printing industry in the United States has experienced significant declines during the past 10 years due to the rise of digital products and media. This trend is expected to continue over the next five years, with industry revenue forecast to contract at an average annual rate of 0.7% to $ 2.7 billion, according to IBISWorld, the nations largest publisher of industry research. According to IBISWorld, the Quick Printing industry will enjoy several years of moderate growth, stemming from a recovery in business advertising and increasing per capita disposable income, which will spur household spending on quick printing services.

The US Quick Printing industry is becoming increasingly obsolete due to the swift decline in computer, software and peripheral equipment prices that has occurred over the past decade. Rapid advancements in computer technology have driven the drop in prices. As a result, consumers and small businesses are increasingly performing tasks that were previously serviced by quick print shops, in the convenience of their homes and offices. And they are increasingly favoring alternative mediums, such as online media and digital communications over printed materials, leeching away industry demand. Over the five years to 2011, revenue in the Quick Printing industry is expected to fall at an average annual rate of 4.8% to $ 2.8 billion, with an estimated decline of 2.5% from 2010 to 2011.

FedEx Corporation, a global shipping and receiving firm, dominates the industry. Unlike the operators in the Printing industry, the Quick Printing industry is largely composed of firms that do not actually specialize in quick printing services. Instead, the Quick Printing industry's largest players include office retailers, shipping and transportation companies and business support firms.

More recently, industry demand has experienced a shift toward higher-value services and away from basic printing and copying. In particular, custom and high-quality promotional and stationery products have increased their shares during the five years to 2011. The popularity in web-to-print services, in which customers design materials and send them electronically for printing, is indicative of this shift toward technology-heavy processes that will increasingly be covered by the industry.

According to IBISWorld analyst, Caitlin Moldvay, still, industry revenue is forecast to continue contracting over the next five years, falling to an estimated $ 2.7 billion. Although improving economic conditions will boost business demand for quick printing services and slow the rate of decline, customers' continued transition to the internet will limit industry gains. In response, quick printers are expected to increasingly expand their operations to other high-value service operations in order to diversify their revenue streams, says Moldvay.

Shop Software From Intelligent Retail Enters New Phase

Newbury, Berkshire, UK (PRWEB) June 03, 2011

In a recent shift in buying behaviour on Ebay, most sales are now fixed priced sales as Buy It Now items. Consumers are using eBay increasingly to find new products to buy, rather than just second hand bargain items. More than 57% of transactions that happen on eBay globally are at a fixed price, mostly sold by professional sellers, or high street retailers who use the site as a distribution channel. That is vastly different from the old eBay that was associated with being an auction platform for rare or used items.

EBay is no longer just a second hand car boot sale- it is a significant channel in its own right. And with the current shift in attitudes, for retailers across the UK it makes sense to be seen on one of the most popular websites on the web. Intelligent Retail's new shop software with Ebay integration makes it incredibly easy for retailers to integrate channels from the website, ebay and physical shop into one place.

Intelligent Retail has developed One-Click technology which is used throughout the shop software. Putting items from stock onto your website is just a click away, and this concept also applies to the full Ebay integration. Intelligent Retail have created a visual stock management system, you dont get long complicated lists of stock, just a simple stock tree.

Part of the difficulty in selling on Ebay is the administration, as adding and managing items can be very time consuming. Now, the new shop software from Intelligent Retail makes it very easy, putting the retailer in control. Just drag and drop products into a channel and the Connect EPoS system will list them on that channel and manage the stock. It will inform the retailer when products have been sold, bringing the order back to the Connect Fulfilment Centre.

David Mackley, Managing Director said: Implementing our system has three development phases. Firstly we can dramatically improve much of the day to day process such as stock replenishment. This saves time for more productive activities. Secondly our Flight Deck is used for instant management information to save money on stock or track how well sales assistants are doing across the EPoS eCommerce system. Thirdly we help retailers access new customers through total integration with the internet, eBay and Amazon.

With things always changing rapidly online, Intelligent Retail's new Multichannel Centre keeps up with the ever-changing climate whilst keeping the EPoS solution easy to use for retailers.

Intelligent Retail was established in 2004, and now helps hundreds of shops across the UK reap the rewards of improved profitability from increased revenue and reduced costs. They have won many awards over the years including innovation awards over several years, and Best Multichannel System in 2009.

Outta Step, LLC Introduces New Music from Rapper Amos

Austin, TX (PRWEB) October 11, 2011

Amos has recorded his debut project for Outta Step LLC/Island Def Jam Digital distribution, titled "Da Wildcat". The single was produced by Kenny Dubb Williams and is an ode for all young party goers. "We really wanted to appeal to the young ladies on this one," stated Mr. Williams. "At one of the recording sessions for this song, all the women in the room started dancing. That's when we knew we had a big record." The single has since aired on several radio stations and was selected to be featured on the Young Money Presents: The Unsigned Hype Mixtape Volume 1. Da Wildcat is available at the iTunes store, Amazon, and all major online music distributors.

Kenny Dubb enlisted engineer Irko of Studiobeat to handle the recording and mixing of the project. The song later made its way to Warren Sokol at Universal Mastering Studios for final touches. Outta Step, LLC chose to release the single on a relatively safe week for independent artist. With minimum pressure from major label competition, Da Wildcat received notable sales in its first week.

About Amos

Born,and raised in Flint, Michigan, Terrell Amos began his career as a poet. In 2007, Amos moved to Anchorage, Alaska and began rapping in the local hip-hop scene. By 2010 a mixtape Amos was featured on found its way to producer Kenny Dubb. Dubb was impressed with Amos' wordplay and delivery and later setup a meeting. Since then, Amos has recorded his premiere single for Outta Step LLC/Island Def Jam Digital distribution, Da Wildcat. His influences include; Pink Floyd, Jay-Z, Lupe Fiasco and Kanye West. For more information on the artist, please follow him on Twitter.

About Outta Step, LLC

Outta Step, LLC is a record label, founded by record producer Kenny Williams and entrepreneur Kenjuan Simon in 2010. The duo long had plans of establishing their venture but were in need of a title that represented the independent style they brought to the music industry. In June of 2010, Williams came up with the name "Outta Step" while on a flight from Tokyo to Dallas. Outta Step, LLC specializes in composing hip-hop, R&B, pop, and reggae records. The label has been cleverly dubbed "The couture of hip-hop beats" because every song is produced specifically for the performer's unique vocals, style, and creative goal. Today the company operates independently and has helped develop unsigned acts such as Kid Popular, Amos, and Znai.

Recordings from Outta Step, LLC can be purchased at iTunes and other multimedia distribution sites.

Outskirts Press Announces the Release of What is the Church?, the Latest Highly-Anticipated Book from Author Hector J. Grant, Sr.

Denver, CO and San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) August 24, 2007

Outskirts Press, Inc. has published What is the Church?: Occasional and Seasonal Sermons for the Busy Pastor by Hector J. Grant, Sr., which is the author's most recent book to date.

The webpage at http://www.outskirtspress.com/HectorJGrantSr was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.

About the Book (Excerpts & Info)

"What Is the Church?" This question guides the Christian in understanding the proper relation that should exist between the individual believer and the institution. The Church is never personal property or a Private Club. The Church is always the association of those who have experienced a personal relationship to Jesus Christ, and are committed to living a life faith despite contrary circumstances.

"Are You Expecting?" is the question that challenges the Christian believer to live a life of constant awareness of what God is doing in the world, and to remain ready to respond when called to unique and special service.

"Finally, Farewell" is the word releasing the baton of service to the trusted hands of others, after a well run leg of the relay race of ministry. These and other sermons challenge both clergy and laity to remain alert to recognize and respond to the many seasons and celebrations of ministry.

Deftly constructed at 196 pages, What is the Church?: Occasional and Seasonal Sermons for the Busy Pastor is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the American - African American category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, What is the Church? meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $ 15.95.

Never Miss a Moment with Group Albums from KODAK Gallery

Emeryville, CA (PRWEB) November 17, 2011

KODAK Gallery (http://www.kodakgallery.com), the only online photo service uniquely designed for celebrating KODAK MOMENTS together, is changing the way people share photos with the launch of Group Albums. Group photo sharing is easier than ever. Multiple people can now upload, share and comment on photos all in one place, for free. The company has also announced a new version of the KODAK Gallery app for the iPhone devices. Using the app on the device makes it the easiest way for a group of friends to collect and share all the photos they take together at party or on a trip. Whether the pictures are on a mobile phone or digital camera, they can be shared and saved in one convenient place.

With Group Albums, a group of friends can easily collect, share, and interact with every moment they capture together by camera at a party or on a trip by starting a Group Album at kodakgallery.com/groupalbum. Simply collect, share and invite others from the event to contribute their own photos to the Group Album. All photos can be downloaded in full-resolution online for free, can be used to create a video slideshow of the event or turned into photo products such as books and calendars.

Everyones been at an event where multiple people are taking pictures. Those pictures end up fragmented across emails, texts, and social networks. Or even worse, theyre not shared at all, said Victor Cho, General Manager of KODAK Gallery, Eastman Kodak Company. Now with a KODAK Gallery Group Album and our new application for the iPhone device, a group of friends or family can instantly and privately collect, share and interact with all of the special moments from an event, in one easy-to-access place.

A Group Album can be started online at kodakgallery.com or right from an iPhone using the mobile app. Like all sharing tools at KODAK Gallery, members of the album can privately share pictures and invite others to join and participate by sending an email, text or FACEBOOK message. Once people join the album they can add photos and comments, plus invite others from the event to contribute their pictures.

More than 20 million photos have been uploaded to a Group Album and more than half a million through the mobile app, said Mark Cook, Vice President of Products. Whats most important is the joy people feel having all the pictures from an event; for example, a bride who has hundreds of pictures her guests took at her wedding reception.

Reader Ratings and Book Reviews from Goodreads Being Added to NoveList Products

Ipswich, MA (PRWEB) June 22, 2011

NoveList, a division of EBSCO Publishing, will begin incorporating reader ratings and book reviews from Goodreads into NoveList products thanks to a new agreement between the companies. The agreement leverages the content of Goodreads, the largest social network for readers, adding additional content to the most popular readers advisory service available.

The agreement brings together two companies that are dedicated to fostering a love of reading while sharing a belief that libraries have a key role to play in a community of readers. Goodreads has more than five million members and polls indicate Goodreads members have strong ties to libraries. In one poll, thirty percent of the nearly 17,000 respondents indicated that they went to the library for more of their books, eclipsing brick and mortar chain bookstores (twenty-two percent) and online stores (eighteen percent).

Independent market research indicated that NoveList is the most highly-rated readers advisory resource in public libraries. NoveList Select allows libraries to add NoveList content into library catalogs allowing users to leverage the library catalog to discover new books and similar titles in the librarys collection. The agreement now allows Goodreads content to be incorporated into that same user experience.

Vice President of Business Development at Goodreads, Kyusik Chung, says this agreement is the companys first product specifically for libraries. At Goodreads, we are passionate about helping people discover the next book they should read. The NoveList and NoveList Select products are the premier tools that libraries use to help patrons choose their next book. EBSCO Publishing is the ideal integration partner as we offer our 11 million book reviews and 110 million ratings to librarians and their patrons.

NoveList founder Duncan Smith says the agreement brings together resources that are well matched to provide an even greater service to librarians and readers alike. Goodreads and NoveList not only share an interest in reading and reading recommendations but recognize and value the role that libraries play in supporting and sustaining reading in their communities. Im looking forward to not only having Goodreads ratings and excellent reviews in all of our products but continuing to work with them and our customers on how this relationship can best help libraries meet the needs of their readers.

The partnership between NoveList and Goodreads not only provides additional information for readers searching the library catalog, the added information will help librarians answer one of their most frequently asked questionswhat do I read next? Smith says librarians are always being asked for their recommendations. With Goodreads we can point the user to thousands of readers who have read and commented on the books readers are considering.

Dr. Mary K. Chelton is a professor at the Graduate School of Library and Information Studies at Queens College in New York. Chelton, a noted researcher and advocate for readers advisory service whose students are studying the use of social technologies in readers advisory says,

Goodreads and NoveList are two sides of the same coin with the reader's voice at the center. Combining their different but mutually reinforcing strengths for readers and the librarians serving them can only be a cause for celebration.

Barry Trott, the head of adult services at Williamsburg Regional Library in Virginia says the combined resources serve both readers advisory professionals and readers. The combination of NoveList and Goodreads is a great match. It combines the potency of expertise from librarians and literature professionals with the benefits of collaborative reader crowdsourcing. This will offer new opportunities for readers' advisors and readers to build on each other's strengths. I am excited about the possibilities that this coming together presents. Williamsburg is an innovative library that is already using social technologies to reach readers. Williamsburgs Blogging for a Good Book blog won ALAs Louis Shore Award in 2009 and has also been referred to as the future of book reviewing. Williamsburg staff members have also authored several standard readers advisory print resources for Libraries Unlimited.

Packaging Executive Challenges Industry to Heed Lessons From the Legacy of Steve Jobs

Marlton, N.J. (PRWEB) October 26, 2011

Following the passing of Steve Jobs, the president of T.H.E.M. Technical Help in Engineering and Marketing) publicly expressed his belief that the packaging industry can greatly benefit from the many lessons to be learned from his legacy of forward thinking, personal drive and relentless pursuit of perfection.

"When one of the world's most successful game changers passes away, it's worth taking the time to reflect on how his thinking can help all of us." says Neil Kozarsky, long-time president of T.H.E.M. "I believe that what Jobs taught us about vision, persistence, and exceptionalism can and must have a real impact on the future of packaging."

Kozarsky pointed to the daunting fact that Jobs never relied on consumer research to plot the course of personal computing and his mobile communications vision. "Steve Jobs had the ability to put himself in the consumer's shoes, to imagine fulfilling his own wants and needs, and he had the strength of character to make it happen," says Kozarsky. "The consumer experience was more important to him than any other factor. That is exactly how we need to be thinking in the packaging industry."

When you look back at the career of Steve Jobs from a branding point of view, you realize how pivotal a role packaging played in his success as an innovator and marketer. More than anyone else in the consumer electronics industry, Jobs realized the critical potential of packaging. The look he gave his products was consistently clean and fresh, from the early multi-colored MACS to the iPod nanos. Everything had to be sleek, trim and good looking. His packaging was as much a statement of cultural sensibility as it was a means to deliver and differentiate the goods.

"His products had to do more than perform uniquely," says Kozarsky. "They had to look different. Today's marketers have the same opportunity to distinguish their products with every new launch or line extension. It's up to us, in the packaging industry, to give them the tools and the encouragement to keep pushing the creative envelop. We have to remember that before Steve Jobs, computers were no sexier than early fax machines."

There is no disputing the fact that Steve Jobs did more than create exciting products that delighted and delivered on their promise beyond expectations. But he was also one of the most influential packaging innovators of our time.

Jobs also proved to every product manufacturer that it pays to seek perfection. His unwillingness to compromise in any aspect of product development, design and manufacture is legendary. Cost-effectiveness always factored in. It had to. But Jobs was never afraid to ask his customer base to pay a little more for an experience over and above the ordinary.
