Oslo, Norway – iPhone developers Nor Eagle are planning to use Twitter to give away promo-codes for their game Ben’s somewhat spiffy-looking but ultimately craptastic rock-paper-scissors game.

T. Benjamin Larsen, Nor Eagle CEO, Creative Director and hand-model was candid about the motivation behind the give-away: “We’re gearing up to the release of our second iPhone application, Insulting Monk, and can use any attention we can get!” he laughed. “Plain and simple: we want people to follow us on Twitter! It is the perfect channel for sharing small tidbits of info about our products. As we have quite a few promotional-codes left-over from our last update we figured it would be a nice gesture to share some of these with the public at large.”

Asked about how the campaign would be organized Larsen had this to say: “It’s quite simple really. People have to start following us (Nor Eagle) on Twitter and we will give away codes at random times the next few days or so. We are thinking to do a rock-paper-scissors theme, where we call the first tool. If we call ‘paper’, the first one to reply with ‘scissors’ will receive a personal message with the code. We hope people will respond favorably. If this is a success we will definitely use similar promotions for our future products as well!”

Madison, Wisconsin – Independent software developer Steve Glinberg today is proud to announce KidCalc 1.5, a significant update to his popular animated math flash cards and learning game for iPhone and iPod touch. Designed specifically to leverage the iPhone’s unique capabilities and peerless interface, KidCalc is now four apps in one, including animated math flash cards, math drills, counting games, and an animated calculator.

Created with the help of public and private school teachers, as well as parents homeschooling their children, KidCalc helps teach crucial math skills to children ages 3-9 years. This timely Halloween themed version of KidCalc includes themed icons, such as jack-o-lanterns, haunted houses, bats, witches hats, engaging animations and even voice-overs by a child.

“When I saw my 2 1/2 year old daughter pick up my new iPhone and use it with absolutely no instruction, I realized that the iPhone’s touch interface, especially when combined with engaging animations and sounds, held unprecedented potential as a platform on top of which an entirely new class of teaching tools could be built,” said Steve Glinberg, KidCalc’s developer. “I decided then to build KidCalc, to teach children how to visualize the addition and subtraction of sets of objects. With the addition of counting games and animated flash cards into this new release, KidCalc has become even more fun, engaging and effective at teaching numbers and math than it already was.”

KidCalc’s puzzle games challenge children to complete a series of math problems. When a puzzle is complete children are rewarded with sounding trumpets and a full view of a picture they worked to reveal – one of 72 brightly colored still life and action photos that KidCalc includes.

KidCalc is four apps in one:
* Animated math flash cards
* Math drills
* Counting games
* Animated calculator

KidCalc’s animated calculator features an instant-replay button that replays animations and voice-overs for a previous math problem, also simulating button presses, providing children a powerful tool for learning math at their own pace. Some of KidCalc’s other user selectable themes include an outer space theme with planets, martians, UFOs, and moons, as well as a sports theme with basketballs, baseballs, footballs, and hockey pucks.

Halloween Costume Photo Contest:
In celebration of Halloween, kids are invited to join the KidCalc Halloween Costume Photo Contest.

Through Cram’s simplified and easy-to-use interface, users can quickly create tests and flashcards, share them with friends, download tests and flashcards from the Cram test portal and pair their tests on the iPhone with the Mac version of Cram. Cram Lite was designed specifically to give users interested in the full version of Cram the opportunity to try it out.

Just as the full version of Cram, Cram Lite excels at allowing users to actually create tests on the go with their iPhone or iPod Touch. Cram is great for anyone that needs to study material on any subject, whether it’s learning a new language or preparing for a standardized test. Cram’s built-in grading feature will immediately return a detailed test report after the test is taken listing exactly which questions the user answered incorrectly and how they answered them. Users can also download tests if they don’t feel like creating test material on their own through the Cram test portal, users simply tap the portal button and can browse all tests in the portal.

The key features in Cram include:
* Create flashcards and tests on your iPhone
* Download tests from the large Cram library
* Share tests with friends
* Grades tests automatically
* Keeps track of test history
