| Get a coach for your iPhone with 321Run Lite |
|
Paris, France – Do you want to start running? You decided you had to lose weight, or just be more fit. eCOMPOSITE just released an iPhone App that’s really for you then. 321Run Lite is your coach on our iPhone: plug your earphones and listen to it tell you when to change rythm, how long you’ve run.
“I did this for me, first, then I tried on my wife, and everybody is running around me now”, said Cyril who developed the app. “It’s really for all runners, from beginners to intermediate, and I hope intensive runners will like it too. You see, I know how pleasant to realize one day that yes you ran these 30 minutes. My preferred training is 10kg in 10 weeks. If only I could stop eating …”
321Run Lite is the free version made for iPod Touch and iPhone users of 321Run, a GPS-enabled version that also records the distance, calories and tells you and your friends what distance you ran.
Having a coach to track your progress, all on your iPhone, allows you to plan when you want to run, and listening to the coach helps you start easily and get in better shape day after day. “2 months ago, I could barely run 10 minutes. Now I have almost reached 30 minutes without stopping, and I doubled the distance”, says Stephanie who discovered the app in tests.
Minimum Requirements:
iPhone or iPod touch 2.2.1 or later
Pricing and Availability:
321Run Lite is available on the AppStore for Free. The full version will be shortly available to all owners of iPhone 3G and 3GS.

| Apple Games Features Spore Galactic Adventures |
| June 29, 2009 6:00 AM Apple Games' latest feature article takes to the stars for an examination of Galactic Adventures, the first expansion for the evolution focused god sim, Spore. Designed to expand the original game's universe, Spore Galactic Adventures delivers new adventures to players who can now become their own space captain, beam down to strange new planets, and create customized adventures. Apple's article includes and overview of the expansion's features and a guide for using mission creation tools.
A mission features a storyline with up to eight acts, each containing three goals � the tone can be serious, silly, or somewhere in between, and the goals can involve anything from simple tasks to major battles. You could even create a mission that�s an arcade game, complete with a maze, objects to collect, and enemies to avoid. And if you see an adventure in the SPOREpedia that you think could use a few tweaks, feel free to make some changes and share your version with the SPORE community.
Each mission also stars a space captain, who can be a unique creation or a character drawn from the SPOREpedia. The captain beams down to a planet, with or without a crew in tow, and earns SPORE Points for completing the adventure, bringing him closer to a new rank. Each rank attained unlocks new accessories and weapons, such as the powerful Energy Blade or the ever-useful Jetpack. As in the main game�s space stage, your captain follows a specific path, such as trader or warrior, with appropriate accessories and weapons unlocked along the way.
At the end of an adventure, you can compare your captain�s performance against other players on the leader board, where the top three earn gold, silver, and bronze medals. (If someone bests your score, you�ll lose your medal.) Galactic Adventures also ships with over 50 new achievements to accomplish, so get ready to explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilization, and boldly go where no captain has gone before.

| Letter Opener 2.2 for Apple Mail released |
|
Millstatt, Austria – restoroot.com is proud to announce the release of Letter Opener 2.2, their winmail.dat converter plug-in for Apple Mail. At its basic, Letter Opener processes Microsoft Outlook winmail.dat files without the requirement for a separate, standalone application. Implemented as a plug-in, Letter Opener lives right inside Apple Mac OS X Mail, allowing users to seamlessly convert winmail.dat files to attachments, iCal files, vCards, and more.
Letter Opener was awarded with 5 Mice by Macworld Magazine.
Version 2.2 brings support for Microsoft Outlook reports like delivery receipts and read receipts. It also introduces support for encrypted and signed messages with a winmail.dat attachment. This is a recommended upgrade for all users.
Letter Opener 2.2 Features:
* Treat attachments within a winmail.dat file like other attachments
* Convert Events, Appointments and Tasks for iCal
* Convert Contacts for Address Book
* Nested Message Handling
* Convert Notes for Mail
* Convert Reports for Mail
* Update Checker: Letter Opener checks for the latest available update at startup
* Fully supports Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), 10.4 (Tiger) and 10.3 (Panther)
Microsoft Outlook doesn’t send any plain text information for contacts, so usually the only way to transfer a contact is using a vCard. With Letter Opener, contact data within winmail.dat can be extracted and saved with a single click. Microsoft Outlook sends calendar items as plain text. But it is not very Mac-like to copy and paste this into iCal. Letter Opener converts these items directly so they appear as sent from another Mac user. When receiving winmail.dat files as email attachments from Microsoft Outlook users, nothing is so seamlessly and conveniently integrated into Apple Mail as Letter Opener.
Minimum Requirements:
* Mac OS X Version 10.3 Panther or higher
* Universal Binary for PowerPC and Intel
More info about the winmail.dat format:
winmail.dat files are sent form Microsoft Outlook or Exchange Server. Some winmail.dat files only contain information used by Outlook to generate a richly formatted view of the message, such as embedded documents or Outlook-specific features such as meeting requests, versit card information, notes and messages forwarded as attachments. Other winmail.dat files may contain files which have been attached to an e-mail message. See the Wikipedia website for more info.
Pricing and Availability:
Letter Opener 2.2 is priced at 19.99 EUR for a single-user license. It is a 9.99 EUR upgrade for all version 1.x customers.
