The MacTrack – iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch and Mac News

St. Paul, Minnesota – Angeion Corporation (NASDAQ: ANGN) has announced that its New Leaf division has partnered with iTMP Technology, Inc. to launch iNewLeaf, a unique fitness application that transforms the Apple(R) iPhone and iPod(R) touch into a fitness monitoring system based on personal metabolic test results. For a limited time, iNewLeaf will be available for free on the iPhone App Store.

New Leaf’s Active Metabolic Training program and test is offered in select health clubs, personal training studios, medical fitness facilities, and performance training centers throughout North America and the UK where a simple 10-15 minute assessment determines your unique response to exercise through measurement of the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide you breathe.

This unique metabolic profile allows New Leaf to assign personalized heart rate training zones and programmed exercises to take the guesswork out of how to Make Every Workout Count. The profile also enables the tracking of the actual fuel source – fats or carbs – of your caloric burn rate. Consumers can access their information and track workouts at New Leaf’s online portal, eNewLeaf.com.

Leveraging the iPhone’s internet connection to eNewLeaf, iNewLeaf downloads a user’s customized exercise plans and training zones as well as other data. iNewLeaf tracks not only standard metrics such as heart rate and cycling speed, power and cadence but also provides actual calories and fat calories burned, TRUcal and FATcal. After a workout, iNewLeaf effortlessly uploads the workout data to eNewLeaf without the need to perform any syncing process or procedure.

“New Leaf is once again helping redefine fitness by personalizing each workout to give you real results,” said Rod Young, CEO and President of Angeion. “iNewLeaf reports TRUcal and FATcal metrics on the iPhone as you exercise, giving you an actual caloric snapshot that guides your training to improve metabolic efficiency regardless of whether your goal is to lose unwanted fat or win the next marathon,” Young continued.

“Common exercise equipment, heart monitors and fitness apps provide estimates of calories burned based on basic personal settings like age, weight and gender. Some estimates are better than others, but iNewLeaf is the first truly “smart” fitness app on a smartphone because true calories are calculated based on a user’s unique metabolic data and heart rate while exercising,” said Michael Williams, founder and CEO of iTMP.

Additional hardware required: iTMP’s SMHEART LINK is a wireless bridge from the iPhone to fitness sensors such as heart rate straps or cycling speed, cadence, and power sensors on your indoor or outdoor bikes. SMHEART LINK also stores an entire workout’s worth of data, compiling information even if the iPhone is interrupted by a call or if the iPhone is not present. The result is an uninterrupted workout profile that can be reviewed during or after a workout and uploaded to New Leaf’s training and tracking website, eNewLeaf.

SMHEART LINK has a suggested retail price of $149.95 (USD) and will be available for the holiday and New Year’s resolution seasons online at SMHEARTLINK, where users can also find additional product information and request to receive updates. Until that time, iNewLeaf is available on the iPhone App Store running simulated heart rate data so users can see how the application monitors and manages their cardio fitness.

Powell, Ohio – Light Year Software LLC is delighted to introduce “In Season”, their new produce shopping guide for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Leveraging the iPhone’s unique interface, In Season features a database of common fruits and vegetables with information about when they are in season.

Most Americans have forgotten what good produce tastes like. Our modern supermarkets sell fresh produce that is bred for heavy yields, shipment and shelf life, but not necessarily taste. And, there is the expectation that everything is available all year long.

In Season aims to help change that by showing when fresh fruit and vegetables are at their peak. The guide includes great background information about the food, how to pick the most exceptional selections at the market, as well as how to best store them at home.

Feature highlights include:
* Features database of the most common fruits and vegetables that are in season
* At-a-glance, displays when fresh fruit and vegetables are at their peak
* Includes great background information about the selected food

Seasonal produce always tastes better and costs less because supply is higher. Farmers and distributors alike spend less money and effort getting the food to market. And locally-grown produce is even better, since it travels a shorter distance and farmers can offer heirloom varieties that typically cannot survive a long trip to market.

By buying fruits and vegetables when they are in season, consumers eat better tasting food, reduce their carbon footprint, and best of all, save money at the same time.

Supported Languages:
* US English

System Requirements:
* iPhone or iPod Touch 2.2

Pricing and Availability:
In Season 1.0 for iPhone is only $1.99 (USD) and available exclusively through Apple’s App Store.
