Buzztime Launches Two New GamesHumorous trivia games appeal to wide range of bar and restaurant patrons

CARLSBAD, Calif., April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NTN Buzztime, Inc. , a multi-point social interactive entertainment company, today announced the launch of two new interactive trivia games -- "True, Half-True ... or a Total Lie" and "Odd Couples."

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080331/CLM183LOGO)

These games are now available in bars and restaurants across North America on the Buzztime(R) Network.

In "True, Half-True ... or a Total Lie," players are challenged to sniff out the correct answer and decide whether each of the statements in each category is (as one might guess) true, half true or a total lie. For example:

Question:

Queen Elizabeth II once misplaced the Koh-i-noor Diamond, the second largest diamond in the world. Luckily, a chambermaid found it in a bathtub.

Answer:

It is half-true! The Koh-i-noor Diamond is part of the royal crown jewels, but the Queen never misplaced it.

Next up is "Odd Couples." The show challenges players to match seemingly unlikely couples to figure out if they have anything in common by guessing one of them, both of them or neither of them. For example:

Questions: 1. Dropped out of school: Paris Hilton or Bill Gates? 2. Had a tattoo on his bicep -- Mr. Clean or Mr. Rogers? Answers: 1. Both! Paris Hilton and Bill Gates are school dropouts. 2. Neither! Mr. Rogers and Mr. Clean never sported arm ink.

"These games are the next installments in an aggressive slate of new Buzztime programming planned for 2008. "Odd Couples" and "True, Half-True ... or a Total Lie" are irreverent, funny and unique, and we hope our players have as much fun playing them as we had creating them," said Jake Tauber, Buzztime's Executive Vice President of Content and Marketing.

Played on televisions in each Buzztime subscriber location, the Buzztime network features original programming including predictive sports games, multiple genres of trivia games and casino-style card games. Like all Buzztime games, "True, Half True ... or a Total Lie" and "Odd Couples" are free to play. They will air on Thursday nights beginning April 24, with encore presentations throughout the week.

Sunrise Telecom(R) Introduces Mobile X-Ray(TM), an Integrated Monitoring and Analysis System for Mobile Data Services DeploymentFor the first time, mobile operators can improve users' quality of experience and effectively manage all facets of their mobile data services migration by integrating network, service, subscriber and device intelligence with a single tool.

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sunrise Telecom(R) Incorporated (Pink Sheets: SRTI), a leader in test and measurement solutions for today's telecom, wireless and cable networks, announced Mobile X-Ray(TM), a unique monitoring and analysis platform that significantly improves the Mobile Operators' (MO) ability to speed migration of Mobile Data Services (MDS) over next-generation wireless networks.

Mobile X-Ray is an intelligent monitoring and analysis architecture that helps MOs quickly diagnose and manage next-generation MDS deployments by correlating essential information from the network, services, subscribers and user devices. Mobile X-Ray features a powerful Oracle(R)-based 'Expert Engine', an intelligent data collection and correlation architecture that takes real-time input from distributed probes, and translates them into critical information designed to help the operator make better and faster decisions about their MDS network.

"Mobile operators in virtually every country are competing to capture customers and increase their average revenue per user by launching web-based mobile data services," said Michele Campriani, general manager of Sunrise Telecom's Protocol Product Group. "Mobile X-Ray is a true competitive advantage, giving MOs the ability to monitor and troubleshoot every facet of MDS from one system, while reducing operating expenses and building customer loyalty by delivering the best MDS Quality of Experience."

The first release of Sunrise Telecom's X-Ray intelligence platform, Mobile X-Ray integrates key features designed to allow operators to 'see through' every element of the MDS network, significantly lowering the cost and complexity of managing the deployment. This results in streamlined operations for the operator and higher service quality for the end user.

"While every MO's migration path to MDS is unique, all face common barriers to quick deployment and consistent, high quality service delivery: network issues, service evaluation, subscriber quality evaluation, and device-network interaction," said Olga Yashkova, industry analyst, Communication Test & Measurement, of Frost & Sullivan. "Until now, MOs were forced to use a mix of single-purpose, test tools and make critical decisions about service quality, network optimization and other network issues based on incongruent information. Essentially, analysis and monitoring was a barrier to entry into the MDS market that Mobile X-Ray now eliminates."

For detailed information on Mobile X-Ray, contact the company at pre-sales.support@sunrisetelecom.it.

RadioShack Announces Plan to Help Consumers Redeem, Spend and Save Their Federal Stimulus Checks and IRS Tax RefundsConsumer electronics retailer offers 10-percent discount on purchases of $50 or more when a federal stimulus check or IRS tax refund is used as a form of payment; unspent balances loaded on prepaid card

FORT WORTH, Texas, April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RadioShack Corporation today announced plans to help customers redeem, spend and even save their federal stimulus checks and IRS tax refunds.

Customers who use their stimulus or IRS refund checks in amounts up to $2,500 as a form of payment at their neighborhood RadioShack store between May 4 and July 12, 2008, and make a minimum qualifying purchase of $50 will receive a 10-percent discount. However, as an added value customers will not be required to commit the entire amount of their federal stimulus or IRS refund checks to the consumer electronics retailer. Any remaining unspent balance will be placed on a Vision Silver(SM) Prepaid MasterCard(R) card that can be used wherever MasterCard cards are accepted.

RadioShack will not charge a check or card activation fee when customers use part or all of their federal stimulus or IRS refund check to make a purchase. Better still, there are no product exclusions for the 10-percent discount offer, so customers can save on everything from GPS devices, wireless phones or even home computers and accessories up to the $2,500 maximum redemption amount per refund. Last, but not least, customers may qualify to convert their Vision Silver(SM) Prepaid MasterCard(R) card into a permanent personalized prepaid card if they so desire. Customers may obtain more information from their neighborhood RadioShack store beginning May 4.

"What's unique about RadioShack's offer is that we are giving our customers 10-percent off their favorite electronics with a small minimum purchase amount while allowing them to convert the unspent balance of their checks into prepaid cards for spending at a later time or place," said Peter Whitsett, executive vice president, merchandising for RadioShack. "While we would certainly love for them to spend everything at RadioShack, we understand other obligations may be necessary. Fortunately, our offer gives them the best of both worlds: save upfront on their consumer electronics purchase and save the rest of the money for a later date. This is the kind of personalized solution that keeps our customers' best interests at heart."

Whitsett said RadioShack's offer will also have great appeal to the millions of individuals in the United States that do not have a checking account and rely upon check cashing services that may charge fees as high as 3-5 percent.

"Many customers today are underbanked, meaning they do not have checking accounts or credit," Whitsett said. "However, they're just like everyone else in that they would like to use some or all of their stimulus checks or IRS refund to purchase things to make their lives and work more enjoyable and productive. With no check redemption or card activation fees, a 10-percent savings on products and the ability to receive their unspent balance on a prepaid MasterCard, underbanked customers will benefit from our offer in more ways than one."

The federal government is expected to begin mailing stimulus checks to qualified recipients in May. Most taxpayers will receive stimulus checks ranging from $600 to $1,200 or more based on their number of dependents. Exact rules for RadioShack's federal stimulus and IRS refund offer will be available in 4,500 company stores and marketing materials starting May 4. Certain services and gift cards are not included and the offer can't be combined with other discounts. This offer is not available in certain states. See store for details in your area. Normal ATM charges will apply to cash withdrawals made using the Vision Silver(SM) Prepaid MasterCard(R) card, and monthly maintenance fees are applicable to unused balances after 30 days. Other terms and restrictions may apply.

Avistar Communications Announces Receipt of Notice from Nasdaq

SAN MATEO, Calif., April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Avistar Communications Corporation , a provider of unified visual communications solutions, today announced that, on April 18, 2008, it received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that Avistar does not comply with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4). This rule requires the company to have a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Nasdaq Staff noted that for the 30 consecutive business days prior to April 18, 2008, the bid price of Avistar's common stock closed below $1.00 per share. Avistar has been provided 180 calendar days, or until October 15, 2008, to regain compliance.

If Avistar is unable to regain compliance by October 15, 2008, the Nasdaq Staff will determine whether Avistar meets The Nasdaq Capital Market initial listing criteria as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c), except for the bid price requirement. If Avistar meets such initial listing requirements, the Nasdaq Staff may grant Avistar an additional 180 day compliance period. If Avistar does not meet such other initial listing requirements, the Nasdaq Staff will provide written notification that Avistar's securities will be delisted. At such time, Avistar may be permitted to appeal the Nasdaq Staff's determination to delist its securities to a Listing Qualifications Panel.

As previously announced, Avistar is currently in a compliance monitoring period with The Nasdaq Stock Market as a result of a past compliance issue that was subsequently cured. If at any time between March 20, 2008 and June 1, 2008, the market value of Avistar's securities falls below the required minimum of $35 million for 30 consecutive trading days, a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel will promptly conduct a hearing with respect to such failure and Avistar's securities would be subject to delisting.

Gameloft - Chiffre d'Affaires de 25,3 m Euros

PARIS, April 24 /PRNewswire/ --

- et Croissance a Taux de Change Constant de 19% sur le Premier Trimestre 2008

Gameloft a réalisé un chiffre d'affaires consolidé de 25,3 M Euros sur le premier trimestre de l'exercice 2008, en hausse de 11% par rapport à l'exercice précédent. A taux de change constant la croissance aurait atteint 19%.

En M Euros 2008 2007 Variation 1er trimestre 25,3 22,7 +11 %

94% du chiffre d'affaires trimestriel a été réalisé dans l'activité jeux mobiles et les 6% restant ont été réalisés dans l'activité jeux consoles (Nintendo DS, Xbox Live Arcade).

Le chiffre d'affaires du premier trimestre 2008 a été réalisé pour 44% en Europe, 29% en Amérique du Nord et 28% dans le reste du monde. La plus forte progression a été enregistrée dans le reste du monde avec un taux de croissance 82%. La part du chiffre d'affaires réalisée en Amérique du nord est en retrait par rapport à 2007 en raison de la forte baisse du dollar et du ralentissement, visible à présent depuis quelques mois, de la croissance de notre marché aux Etats-Unis. Sur l'ensemble de l'exercice 2007, l'Europe, l'Amérique du Nord et le reste du monde représentaient respectivement 44%, 34% et 22% du chiffre d'affaires consolidé de Gameloft.

La progression du chiffre d'affaires du premier trimestre est en ligne avec les attentes de la société. Gameloft prévoit une accélération de la croissance de ses ventes à partir du second semestre de l'exercice 2008 grâce aux lancements de ses jeux sur N-Gage, iPhone et les consoles grand public telles que la Wii ou la DS de Nintendo.

Gameloft renouvelle donc ses objectifs financiers pour l'exercice 2008. La société vise une croissance de 25% à 30% de son chiffre d'affaires ainsi qu'une marge opérationnelle (hors impact des options d'achat octroyées aux salariés) comprise entre 10% et 15%. Ce fort rebond de la marge opérationnelle devrait Ãªtre rendu possible par la stabilisation confirmée des effectifs dans la division jeux mobiles ainsi que par les premiers retours sur investissements des dépenses stratégiques consenties en 2007 notamment sur les nouvelles plateformes que sont la N-Gage de Nokia, l'iPhone d'Apple, la Xbox Live Arcade de Microsoft, etc.

A plus long terme, la société est idéalement positionnée pour se maintenir au 1er rang mondial du marché du jeu sur téléphones mobiles et pour continuer à croître rapidement sur un marché dans lequel elle a investi avec succès depuis 2002 et qui comptera près de 4 milliards de consommateurs potentiels en 2010(1). La société entend également bénéficier pleinement du transfert de son savoir faire sur les consoles de jeux grand public qui permettent un accès online et qui visent une population similaire à celle des jeux téléphones.

Le chiffre d'affaires du second trimestre sera publié le 23 juillet 2008.

IKONICS Posts Increase in Operating Income on Record First Quarter Sales

DULUTH, Minn., April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IKONICS Corporation , a Duluth based imaging technology company, announced today record 2008 first quarter sales of $3,781,000, an 8% increase over the first quarter of last year. Operating income was $47,000 compared to a small loss for the first quarter of 2007. Net earnings were $106,000, or $0.05 per share, a $33,000 decrease compared to the first quarter of 2007, which benefited from a one time $55,000 gain on the sale of our interests in Apprise Technologies and a $55,000 tax benefit.

Bill Ulland, Ikonics' CEO, said that the sales growth was led by sales to Europe and Asia, and a significant contribution from our new Photo Machining venture. The weak dollar has helped our export business, while the slow U.S. economy has had some effect on domestic sales.

Ulland added, "Sales of our new Digital Texturing products have been slow to materialize reflecting both continuing product optimization and the depressed condition of the domestic automotive industry, the initial target market. We are now broadening the target market to the international automotive industry and the non-automotive U.S. market," he added.

On April 7th, 2008 IKONICS purchased 11 acres, with an option on an additional 4 acres, from the City of Duluth for $366,000. A 35,000 square foot manufacturing and warehouse facility is being constructed on this brown field site.

This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding sales, earnings, and new products that involve risks and uncertainties. The company's actual results could differ materially as a result of domestic and global economic conditions, competitive market conditions, acceptance of new products, the ability to identify, complete and integrate suitable acquisitions, as well as the factors described in the company's Form 10-KSB, Forms 10-QSB and other reports on file with the SEC.

International Security Expert Bill Stanton Supports the Use Of BigString Corporation's New Secure Instant Message Service for Online Safety and Security

RED BANK, N.J., April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BigString Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: BSGC) , an innovator in secure online technology and communication, today received the support of national security expert "Wild Bill" Stanton. Stanton, a former New York City Police officer and security expert, has advised a host of corporations and A-list celebrities on personal security and protection. His insightful tips and strategies for success have been featured on the Today Show, CNBC and many other news programs, as well as in New York Magazine and a host of other print publications. BigString launched its secure online Instant Message platform on April 16, 2008, as an evolution of BigString's recallable email and messaging products.

"Everyday we hear stories of people, from celebrities to the average person on the street, whose online communication is used in a way that was not intended, whether that is identity theft or instant messages copied and passed along to third parties without consent," Stanton said. He added, "BigString's new technology returns privacy and security to the consumer and should be used by anyone who communicates in real-time online."

BigString IM users can send instant messages (IMs) that self-destruct after being sent. Additionally, IMs sent via BigString's service cannot be copied, logged or screen-printed.

BigString IM is a free advertising supported service available at http://www.bigstring.com/. It is available as a web version or as a free plug-in for AOL's AIM.

The patent-pending technology leaves no trail or copy of the IM on any server once the message self-destructs. The time for self-destruction is set by the sender, and can be set to disappear in as little as a few seconds to over an hour. The sender can also choose a number of visual effects for the self-destruction. A message will disappear in real time simultaneously from both the sending and receiving IM screens.

About BigString

BigString Corporation, owner and operator of BigString.com, is a provider of social networking messaging applications and user-controllable email services. In addition to permitting users to send recallable, erasable, self-destructing emails and video emails, BigString's patent-pending technology allows emails and pictures to be rendered non-forwardable, non-printable and non-savable before or after the recipients read them, no matter what email service provider is used.

Solomon Reports 2007 Financial Results

DANBURY, Conn., April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Solomon Technologies, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: SOLM) , a developer and manufacturer of high-efficiency regenerative electric power drive systems as well as high-voltage, high-power direct current power systems for markets requiring high levels of reliability and ruggedness, today announced its operating results for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $7,973,654, an increase of $5,694,806 or 250% compared with the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to the addition of a full year of sales from the Technipower acquisition and approximately one quarter of sales from the Deltron acquisition.

Gross profit for the year was $3,350,970 or 42% of revenue compared with the year earlier period of $604,784 or 27% of revenue. The increase in margin is attributable to an increase in revenue contributed by Technipower and Deltron acquisitions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6,406,210 for the 2007 year as compared with $5,579,760 for the year earlier period, an increase of $826,450. This increase is primarily attributable to the addition of members of the Company's management team, the Deltron acquisition and general price increases.

Research and development expenses for the year were $1,243,227 as compared with $372,718 for the year earlier period. The increase was the result of further investment in new products as well as the Deltron acquisition.

The Company incurred cash interest expense of $224,895 in 2007 versus $23,467 in 2006. Non cash interest expenses of $7,152,157 in 2007 relating to various financings, compared with $1,912,727 for the previous year, an increase of $5,239,430. The increase was primarily due to the accretion and amortization of debt costs included in interest expense on our Variable Rate Self-Liquidating Senior Secured Convertible Debentures issued in January and August of 2007.

Our net loss for the year was $15,161,034 an improvement of $1,101,480 over the prior year. Of the total 2007 loss, non-cash charges comprised $11,979,889 versus 2006 non-cash charges of $12,058,626.

Our overall per-share loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $0.41 per share versus $0.60 for the prior year.

Solomon President, Peter W. DeVecchis, Jr., commented, "Over the past twelve months Solomon has successfully integrated its Technipower acquisition and is well on the way to consolidating the Deltron acquisition. Although we did not achieve our run rate revenue goal for the year, primarily as a result of our decision to abandon the Unipower acquisition, our overall strategy to grow through acquisition, while simultaneously exploiting our intellectual property assets, is on target." He continued, "We plan to continue our growth strategy during 2008 by bringing more resources to the company including people, products and technology."

Brokers flock to CGI's Account Reconciliation CentreStock Market Symbols GIB.A (TSX) GIB (NYSE)ARC's popularity with intermediaries triggers launch of online self- service tool to automate sign-up and training

LONDON, England, April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Following the widespread take-up of its Account Reconciliation Centre (ARC), CGI Group Inc. (TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB), a leader in information technology and business process services, is today launching an online self-service tool that will make it easier than ever for insurance brokers to start using the electronic account settlement system.

Since its launch in late 2007, almost 250 brokers have signed up to settle accounts through ARC - exceeding expectations by more than 100 percent - and the number is growing week on week. With the new online self-service tool, the process of registering and getting started is even easier and faster, enabling more brokers to go live with ARC. The service, available via imarket, allows brokers to register, complete set-up, carry-out training and go live with ARC without the need for face-to-face meetings.

Tim Gregory, Vice-President of Insurance, CGI Europe, said: "Previously the process of getting up and running on ARC had been rather time-consuming. Insurers were physically visiting brokers, signing them up and carrying out training - often over a number of meetings. Now the process is automated, which reduces the need to meet in person."

CGI developed ARC in 2007 in co-operation with Allianz and Norwich Union to ease the burden of the account reconciliation process. It allows brokers and insurers to move away from the arduous paper-based system and switch to a more user-friendly, computer-based method.

ARC's launch was preceded by a six-month pilot, in which Norwich Union, Allianz and 20 of their brokers used the system and provided their feedback. Since then, ARC has proved itself as both a valuable tool for the participating brokers (some of them reporting an increase of up to 100 percent in the number of lines that can be cleared each month), and a reliable settlement system that brings tangible results for insurers. Allianz has reported a reduction in overdue debt by 17 percent since the system was introduced and Norwich Union has achieved a seven day reduction in debtor days

Tim Gregory added: "The payment and collection system used by insurers and brokers was truly archaic. At a time when the buying of insurance is easier than ever before, we felt that account reconciliation should not be left behind."

StumbleUpon Celebrates Five Million Registered Users and Five Billion StumblesWith more than five billion Stumbles to date, discovery is gaining ground on traditional search

SAN FRANCISCO, April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- StumbleUpon (http://www.stumbleupon.com/), one of the most popular ways to discover new Web sites and videos on the Internet, announced that it has reached a major milestone of five million registered users and almost five billion 'stumbles' since its debut in the fall of 2001 -- with over one billion 'stumbles' to-date in 2008 alone. A 'stumble' equates to a Web site delivered to a user when they press the Stumble button on the StumbleUpon toolbar.

"Reaching these incredible milestones is evidence that people need and want a personalized way to discover great content on the Web," said Michael Buhr, general manager, StumbleUpon. "People are looking beyond traditional search for better ways to sift through the vast amounts of content online and discover what is interesting, useful and relevant to them."

Online content is growing exponentially year-over-year and, according to a recent IDC study, individuals are now spending more time on the Internet than they do watching television. This combination has created huge demand for solutions that help people quickly and easily discover personally relevant Web sites, online videos, photos, blogs and other online content. With StumbleUpon, people are tapping the wisdom of crowds to get personal recommendations of great Web sites and Web content that matches their needs and interests and, more importantly, content they would not have found via a traditional search engine.

As traditional search continues to move at a steady pace, StumbleUpon's growth is skyrocketing. While a recent comScore report found a 48% growth in U.S. online searches from March 2007 to March 2008, StumbleUpon saw an impressive 134% increase during the same period. Additionally, if stumbles would have been counted on comScore's most recent U.S. Search Engine Rankings study, StumbleUpon would have placed ahead of Facebook and Amazon. These findings, coupled with StumbleUpon's rapid momentum, further prove the need for tools that help users cut through the clutter of the Web in order to discover what's personally interesting and relevant to them.

VirTra Systems Receives Immersive Small Arms Training Simulator Order

HOUSTON, April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VirTra Systems, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: VTSI) . Major General Perry V. Dalby (USA-Retired), VirTra Systems' chief executive officer, today announced VirTra Systems has received an order for its advanced IVR(R) small arms training simulator from Phelps County Sheriff's department in the State of Missouri.

The 300-degree law enforcement situational awareness and use-of-force firearms simulator employs fully immersive scenarios that instantly branch based on the trainee's performance. Phelps County Sheriff will also use VirTra Systems' successful patent-pending Threat-Fire(TM) Belts along with handgun training conversion kits, and a host of other simulation accessories.

Major General Dalby commented, "We are pleased that Phelps County Sheriff has chosen the IVR HD-300 small arms simulator for its deputies.

"One must remember that our law enforcement officers are on the 'front line' of our nation's Homeland Security. The Sheriff's Department has demonstrated its commitment to its citizenry by upgrading its training program with the most realistic small arms simulator of its kind. VirTra Systems believes that immersive training improves an officer's awareness of his or her surroundings, and avoids the potential for developing 'tunnel vision' during training that is inherent in older, single-screen simulators.

"VirTra Systems' immersive firearms simulators are now used in every branch of the military, the Army Research Laboratory, the U.S. Marshal's Service, police departments and training academies nationwide, and a growing list of international customers," concluded Major General Dalby.

Next Inning Technology Updates Outlooks for PMC-Sierra, QLogic, Intel, and Apple

PRINCETON, N.J., April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), a subscription service focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for PMC-Sierra , QLogic , Intel , and Apple .

In his State of Tech report, Editor Paul McWilliams covers roughly 70 companies that, in total, report annual revenues in excess of $700B. The quarterly Next Inning State of Tech has been praised by many professional investors as one of the best tools available for investors hoping to cash in during earnings season. New subscribers have the chance to leverage these detailed reports during a 21-day no-risk free trial membership:

https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn663

In his State of Tech Report, McWilliams wrote: "Beyond the obvious factor that PMC-Sierra is priced as a "growth" stock (the price is based on future earnings potential rather than a historical earnings record), the thing that makes it so highly speculative today is that PMC-Sierra exhausted its balance sheet to acquire the technologies needed to rebuild its business model. The implications here are that when Wall Street starts to question PMC-Sierra's ability to produce the future earnings upon which the current price is based, there is no cushion below the price to soften or slow the fall..."

McWilliams also looks at these topics: -- Does McWilliams expect PMC-Sierra's high-risk course to pay off? -- Are QLogic's markets poised to get more competitive? Can the company benefit from trends toward virtualization? -- Should investors view Apple's recent purchase of PA Semiconductor as a threat to Intel? -- Does McWilliams think it was a good move on Apple's part to purchase PA Semiconductor?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 238% since its inception versus 86% for the Nasdaq.

About Next Inning:

Next Inning is a subscription financial newsletter focused on technology stocks. Editor Paul McWilliams is a 20+-year industry veteran.

Northwest Airlines Teams with iSeatz To Unveil Fully Integrated Travel and Entertainment Booking Engines on NWA.comFull-Service Travel Gateway Offers Robust Selection of Hotel, Car and Trip Activities Via In-Path and Stand-Alone Booking Gateways

NEW ORLEANS, April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- iSeatz.com and Northwest Airlines today announced the launch of the newly enhanced Northwest Airlines web site (NWA.com), which was designed to fulfill consumers wide- ranging travel needs via a full-service booking engine. The online travel gateway - complete with an extensive set of global lodging, rental car, trip amenity and activity options - will benefit customers who purchase airline tickets on NWA.com, as well as those who are interested in booking trip components on a stand-alone basis. By integrating iSeatz' flexible engine as part of the NWA.com shopping experience, Northwest is providing its customers with the ability to easily fulfill all of their travel needs via a single shopping cart and checkout process.

iSeatz worked closely with Northwest to strategically design and implement this offering that is one of the first of its kind in the travel industry. Unlike traditional airline ticketing web sites, Northwest customers who purchase airline seats will be presented with a robust set of relevant travel options, from trip activities and services to car rentals and international hotel accommodations, which correspond with their specific travel destination. NWA.com will also feature an iSeatz-hosted private label path for travelers who want to purchase add-on amenities but already have or are not ready to purchase airline seats. iSeatz expressly created this secondary engine so that travelers always have the option of returning to NWA.com and extensively browse and easily buy the rest of their non-air trip needs.

As an added benefit, customers can obtain WorldPerks credits by booking select hotel and car products via the iSeatz engines on the NWA.com web site.

With the introduction of the enhanced NWA.com, planning for a trip is now more streamlined, hassle-free and rewarding than ever - a must for today's consumers who regularly utilize the Internet to fulfill their travel needs.

"We continue to add new features on NWA.com to make travel planning convenient for our customers," said Al Lenza, Northwest's Vice President of E- Commerce and Distribution. "Travelers can count on NWA.com to provide easy access not only to booking air travel, but planning their entire trip in one step on NWA.com."

"We are thrilled that Northwest Airlines selected iSeatz to transform its online presence and leverage our proven ability to strategically design and implement a fully customized solution that generates ancillary revenue and shifts share from higher cost channels and competitors," said Kenneth Purcell, founder and chief executive officer of iSeatz.com. "Northwest is clearly committed to driving innovation and truly focusing on its customers' preferences, and we are certain that the new booking engines and consistent product set will establish a soaring benchmark for the travel industry."

Northwest Airlines invested in a technology solution that is relevant to nearly every customer who makes purchases on nwa.com and also easily integrates into the existing web site. Each customized iSeatz solution taps into its network of Marketing Partners, which provides immediate access to more than 60,000 hotel properties, all of the major car rental agencies and more than 600 destination services products, as well as iSeatz' proprietary inventory.

To experience the enhanced Northwest Airlines' web site, please visit http://www.nwa.com/.

This network expansion is part of the company's aggressive multi-billion dollar network investment each year to stay ahead of the growing demand for Verizon Wireless voice and data services. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $40 billion in the last seven years -- on average, more than $5 billion every year since the company was formed -- to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services, including wireless data services such as picture messaging, text messaging, and wireless Internet access. NationalAccess, the company's national high-speed wireless data network, provides wireless Internet access at speeds between 60 and 80 kbps, with bursts up to 144 kbps.

Strong demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the fourth quarter of 2007 as the company added 2 million new customers. Verizon Wireless is the leader in wireless customer loyalty, reporting the lowest customer turnover (highest customer loyalty) rate in the industry -- 1.2% in the fourth quarter -- for the 13th consecutive quarter.

The company's 'nation's most reliable wireless network' reputation is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women throughout the country who inspired the "Can you hear me now" national advertising campaign. These engineers drive nearly 100 specially equipped vehicles over 240,000 miles on average each quarter on Interstate, US and state highways, as well as major roads and surface streets. Test vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than 750,000 voice call attempts and more than four million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

Last year, Verizon Wireless introduced its 30-day Test Drive, an industry first that lets customers experience its network virtually risk-free for 30 days. If customers are not satisfied with their experience and take their number to another carrier, Verizon Wireless will refund their money for calls, equipment, activation fee and taxes.
