PR: OmmWriter for iPad is now available for purchase with the latest audio and visual effects to make writing on your iPad a more inspiring and pleasant experience.
OmmWriter, the award-winning writing application, is now available for the Apple iPad allowing users to be alone with their thoughts and to concentrate.
The secret to OmmWriter lies in its simplicity and apparent lack of functionality. OmmWriter for iPad focuses on doing one thing well: improving the writing experience by completely redesigning the keyboard interface from a usability perspective.
In addition, OmmWriter for iPad pays special attention to audio and visual effects which include dynamic chromatherapy techniques that promote creativity and aid concentration.
If you are a blogger, journalist, copywriter, poet, student or just someone who enjoys writing, welcome back to concentrating.

PR: AppleTell's Patrick Lutz reports that a new iOS app called Skin Scan is allowing users to scan their own skin using an iDevice's camera to check for malignant melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. By doing so, the team behind the app has also gained some startup funding in the stunning amount of €50,000 (approximately $72,000 USD) from Seedmoney.
Skin cancers, especially often deadly malignant melanoma, are spiking up in the US and Canada, now accounting for almost 50% of all cancers, according to the American Cancer Society. Most skin cancer is related to unprotected skin exposure to UV radiation, and the worst form, melanoma, is now the the most rapidly increasing form of cancer, incidence increasing by 7.7% among men from 2003 to 2005, and by 2.9% among women from 1993 to 2005, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas have cure rates of 95% if caught and treated promptly, but about one-third of melanoma cases are fatal, accounting for roughly three times as many deaths as other forms of skin cancer combined. It's estimated 40 to 50% of people living to age 65 will now have skin cancer at least once.
Why are melanoma rates skyrocketing when fewer people work outdoors nowadays? Ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere is presumably one factor. More harmful ultraviolet UV is getting through. Recreational suntanning, especially artificial tanning using UV lamps, also plays a role.
Typically, people don't develop skin cancer until after age 50. However, outdoor workers often manifest it at an earlier age. Sun damage builds slowly and insidiously, prematurely aging skin tissue by breaking down strands of genetic material (DNA). UV also interferes with immune function - not only inducing skin cancer, but also undermining the body's ability to fight it and other diseases. UV radiation can also, as noted above, damage the eye's lens, cornea, and retina, with consequences ranging from corneal cancer to cataracts. These effects are cumulative. Any blemish or lesion that doesn't go away within a month, or an existing mole enlarging or changing colour, is ample cause to consult a physician.
Patrick Lutz notes that the Skin Scan app works by first having the user take a picture of a mole on their skin, and then using a proprietary algorithm to examine the skin and determine whether the mole is growing normally or showing abnormalities which could indicate potential melanoma. The app also asks for a users location in order to develop a live map of low- to high-risk moles around the world, which is indeed a very interesting addition to its core functionality.
PR: The iPhone conversion kit maker SW-Box Co. Ltd. has launched their newest kiBoard, an iPhone 4 case with a Bluetooth slide-out keyboard. This kiBoard can convert a classic iPhone 4 into a slide-out iPhone with Bluetooth technology.
Strictly speaking, its not just a case offering protection for the iPhone 4's glass back cover and featuring cutouts for 3rd party accessories. It's a conversion kit that combines both a Bluetooth slide-out keyboard and a case. The moment the iPhone 4 slips into the case, it becomes a slide-out iPhone.
SW-Box Co. Ltd. says production of this kiBoard is in response to people's imagination added to the iPhone. The iPhone 4 is more than just a touch screen bar phone, and with the QWERTY keyboard, and slide-out style, kiBoard realizes all of the above imagination, adding no bulk to the iPhone 4.
Ki means energy in Japanese - energy in terms of flow in the context of life and work, balance and happiness, the company maintaining that this can be a result of using this case with its physical keyboard. "We think it's actually a very meaningful and relevant name actually," comments Celia, Director of Public Relations for SW-Box.
Using Bluetooth 2.0, its a breeze to pair kiBoard to iPhone 4. Modern metal lines the edges of the wireless keyboard and the rubberized exterior surface helps ensure non-slip grip. The LED indicator tells users the device's charging and pairing status. A USB cable is included too.
"It's great news for those big fingers," - a comment from a market research employee of SW-Box. "Many customers complain that the iPhone 4 is not so great since they have big fingers. The mistyping problem always happens and now this kiBoard can solve it perfectly."
With the price tag of $29.97, kiBoard iPhone 4 Case with Slide-Out Physical QWERTY Keyboard (Bluetooth) is affordable too.
How to attach the lens to your device?
This is a 180° fisheye lens.
If you are using this lens in iPhone 4, we will recommend you to purchase a cover for it.
PR: USB Fever says this product is probably is the first zoomable microscope/lens for iPhone.
This accessory will convert your iPhone 4 into a portable microscope, and not just a run-of-the-mill "student"'scope but a real microscope that can magnify images from 60× - 100×. Now you won't have to go to your school lab when you can have your own microscope.
This amazing little microscope has a built-in LED light for better image quality. The microscope is applied through a dedicated case on the back of the iPhone 4. Once installed, you can use the microscope to view objects up to 100 magnifications.
It has a LED in the front, an on/off switch, a focus control, and a zoom control, and is powered by three LR1130 Button Cells (included).
Note: The LEDs are powered by 3 LR1130 Cell batteries.
PR: Don't want to be bounded by the iPad 2's built-in camera? Now you have a way to "expand" its functions. This telescope has a 6× expansion that can help you to get close up objects from afar by 6 times.
This is a fixed 6× optical lens, not a zoomable lens.
You can remove (unscrew) the MACRO part from the main barrel of wide Conversion lens so that you can use it as a separate MACRO lens.
You may purchase it by selecting the option above. Here is the link for the optional Crystal Clear Case.
Currently we are shipping 0.68× wide-angle lens instead of 0.67× wide-angle lens.
