StumbleUpon, a discovery engine, today announced the debut of its free application for iPhone and Android-powered mobile devices, allowing users to discover and share cool content from the Web using their mobile phones.


 


"Following the success of our iPad app, we’re excited to extend the stumbling experience to iPhone and Android device users, letting people explore the best of the web at any time no matter where they are," said Garrett Camp, founder and CEO. "Downloading the app is easy and once logged-in, users can discover great online content that’s tailored to their preferences."


 


The new StumbleUpon app is optimized for the mobile discovery experience and uses the same personalized recommendation technology users would encounter using their personal computer or iPad. Through their mobile phone, users can ‘thumb-up’ or ‘thumb-down’ sites they like or dislike, and preferences are saved for their next session when they open the app.


 


Users can narrow their stumbling to a particular category, such as Photography or Science, or browse through pages in no particular category. They can also view content on best-in-breed content sites, flipping through lush photography on Flickr or funny videos on YouTube.


 


The free app is available for download from Apple’s iTunes store here or through the Android Market.

AT&T* today announced its AT&T U-verse® Mobile App is now available on the App Store.


The U-verse Mobile app gives U-verse subscribers the ability to download and watch popular TV content on their iPhone so they can take their U-verse TV experience with them, wherever they go. AT&T is the first TV provider to offer an integrated mobile app that allows you to both manage your DVR and download and watch select shows. The app is another example of how AT&T delivers more value to U-verse TV customers with continued service enhancements and innovative apps.


U-verse Mobile replaces the popular Mobile Remote Access for iPhone app and incorporates the ability to browse the U-verse TV program guide, view program descriptions, schedule and manage your DVR recordings, while adding the ability to download available episodes over any Wi-Fi connection, and watch them in full-screen mode on your iPhone from anywhere. U-verse TV customers already enjoy the flexibility of remote DVR management. More than 100,000 U-verse TV customers use the Web and Mobile Remote Access apps every month.


"We’re making it possible for you to watch TV shows on your iPhone at no extra charge. It’s just one more valuable and innovative feature available on U-verse TV," said David Christopher, chief marketing officer, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. "Our U-verse multi-screen promise is now a reality for millions of U-verse TV customers, with content available on U-verse TV, U-verse Online, and today, U-verse Mobile. No cable provider comes close to matching the cross-platform experience we’re delivering today, and we’ll continue to add unique features that further integrate these screens."


All U-verse TV customers can download the app to manage their DVR, and the ability to download and watch content is available for customers that subscribe to the U300 package or higher. U-verse customers can upgrade their TV packages at any time at www.att.com/u-verse. New U-verse TV customers and iPhone owners that order AT&T U-verse U300 or U450 will receive a $75 iTunes gift card.


You can browse or search a library of downloadable shows, and select which series or specific episode you want to download. The content is downloaded to iPhone over a Wi-Fi connection. All AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet customers have home Wi-Fi installed as part of their service and get access to AT&T’s U.S. Wi-Fi network at no additional cost.


The U-verse Mobile App includes TV shows from several popular networks and AT&T will continue to add more content on an ongoing basis. U-verse Mobile is the latest way that AT&T is mobilizing everything that’s important to customers — their favorite content, apps, entertainment and social networks. AT&T today delivers the nation’s fastest mobile broadband network as well as the nation’s largest Wi-Fi network, giving customers the best combination of speed and coverage.


The U-verse Mobile App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.


 


AT&T U-verse offers numerous features and apps that enhance your entertainment experience, including many ways that TV and wireless services work together — a benefit that cable providers don’t offer. In addition to U-verse Mobile, you can check your wireless and U-verse Voice messages from a single voice mailbox; use the YP.COM TV app to search for local business information and send the call to your home or wireless phone with the click of your remote; and more.


AT&T U-verse TV is the only 100 percent Internet Protocol-based television (IPTV) service offered by a national service provider, making AT&T U-verse one of the most dynamic and feature-rich services available today. AT&T U-verse TV ranked "Highest in Residential Television Service Satisfaction in the South and West Regions Two Years in a Row," according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2008 and 2009 Residential Television Service Provider Satisfaction Studies(SM). For additional information on AT&T U-verse — or to find out if it’s available in your area — visit www.att.com/u-verse.

-Today, Logitech (SIX:LOGN) (NASDAQ:LOGI) unveiled the Logitech® Rechargeable Speaker S715i, a portable speaker dock for iPod and iPhone that delivers bold sound you can carry around. Featuring eight custom-designed speaker drivers and an eight-hour rechargeable battery, the newest Logitech speaker looks like a beauty and sounds like a beast. 


“With this system, we set out to deliver our next generation in sound quality for a speaker dock for the iPod”




“With this system, we set out to deliver our next generation in sound quality for a speaker dock for the iPod,” said Mark Schneider, vice president and general manager of Logitech’s audio business unit. “The new Rechargeable Speaker S715i offers eight drivers – twice that of our previous speaker docks – and includes a rechargeable battery so you can take your tunes with you. So go ahead, lose yourself in your music – and never worry about disposable batteries again.” 


To bring your music to life, the Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S715i delivers crisp audio thanks to two three-inch laser-tuned neodymium drivers for a rich mid range, two half-inch neodymium tweeters for crisp high notes and four two-inch passive radiators for deep bass. The result is rich, balanced audio in a compact design for iPod and iPhone. 


The Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S715i comes with a wireless remote control to give you command over functions such as power, volume, play, pause, shuffle, skip and repeat from up to 30 feet (10 meters) away. For your convenience, you can take the dock with you in the included travel case that also has space for the power adapter and remote. 


You know that the Logitech S715i will work with your iPod or iPhone since the speaker is certified through the Made for iPod and iPhone programs. In addition, the speaker’s innovative dock design works with any iPhone or iPod with a Universal Dock Connector – no trays necessary. 


Pricing and Availability


The Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S715i is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in August for a suggested retail price of $149.99 (U.S.).

iPhoneApplicationList.com, the leading portal for iPhone app discovery, app reviews and videos, has launched a revolutionary service named AppExchange, an open marketplace where developers can find the potential buyers for their apps and underlying technology.


There are a lot of apps in App Store developed by talented developers who do not have much time for app support and promotion. With AppExchange developers may find a new owner for their apps. iPhone Application List also welcomes developers of technology savvy apps to submit their apps for sale along with app engines.


Many apps in App Store are close to greatness and require just a little touch up such as PR or design improvements to become bestsellers. App Exchange is a place to find a great app for sale and give it a second life as a bestseller.


"With about 250000 apps in App Store there is a need for Marketplace to buy and sell apps with all related rights," says Andry Ignatov, owner of iPhone Application List. "We are happy to be a facilitator for apps exchange by offering apps sellers and buyers an open platform for it."

The Hotlist the first geo-social aggregator to show users what’s going on in their Facebook network today, tomorrow and throughout the week, has launched The Hotlist iPhone app –and it’s free. Designed to take mobile networking to the next level, the Hotlist app simplifies social decisions by providing comprehensive event and venue data specifically tailored to the behavior and favorites of each user and their friends. 


“People work and people play. However, planning even the smallest get together can be very time-consuming and frustrating”




The Hotlist app offers the latest on friends’ present and future social destinations, and finds the closest venues and activities to the user’s current location by compiling information from multiple online sources, such as Facebook, Twitter and Yelp. The Hotlist app also filters public social activities of over 100 million people worldwide, providing more social information than any other app of its kind. 


“People work and people play. However, planning even the smallest get together can be very time-consuming and frustrating,” said Gianni Martire, CEO of The Hotlist. “Our mobile app allows people to make the most out of their social life by giving friends a place to share their social plans, eliminating the stress of phone tag, endless text messages and disappointing evenings. The Hotlist instantly gives people information that used to take hours to figure out, a one-stop app to organize your social life.” 


Ongoing event and venue reviews from friends and tweets on The Hotlist app are a great way to glimpse what’s going on around you and who’s going to be there. Users can even create a custom “hotlist” of favorite locations and recommend places to friends, allowing constant discoveries of new places and interests. 


With The Hotlist’s iPhone app, mobile users get immediate access to the past, present and future social scene on any given day by browsing nearby friends’ events and venues: 


    

  • Friend profiles show where they have been, where they are at now and where they are going later 
    • 

  • Venue profiles outline the scene including friend attendance, crowd photos and the guy-to-girl ratio 
    • 

  • Event profiles include real-time Twitter updates, event details and basic information about attendees 
    • 



With over 160,000 monthly active users, expect to see The Hotlist on Blackberry and Android shortly.
