iPhone App Car Tell Allows Access Confidential Used Car Dealer Prices
[Press Release]
Confidential used car wholesale auction prices. Find out what dealers pay for their used car inventory. Discover the price beyond the blue book.
Automotive Data Systems (ADS) announces the release of Car Tell Auction Prices 1.0 for the iPhone. Car Tell Auction Prices is designed to empower and protect consumers during their vehicle purchase negotiations with used car dealerships. Car Tell Auction Prices provides users with highly valuable confidential pricing information showing what used car dealers actually pay for cars in their inventory.
With Car Tell Auction Prices you gain insider access to Automotive Data System's vast network of confidential wholesale dealer auction prices for your region or compare prices in other regions. In the dicey world of used car buying, knowing what a dealer paid for a specific year and model can give you the upper haggling hand. Being savvy to the real markup he has worked in to a specific vehicle's price can give you the negotiating leverage you need to land the fairest deal in the land.
Before you get in it, find out what they have in it.
This critically important information has, until now, been nearly impossible for the average consumer to access or attain. The simple to use app allows you to browse through 60k records from the last 30 days covering all makes from everyday passenger cars, hybrids, trucks, SUVs' and minivans to high end exotics like Lamborghini separated into East Coast, Midwest and West Coast regions. Sort by year, make, model and price or create custom detailed searches allowing you to filter the results down to mileage, year or price ranges for a specific make and model.
"With Car Tell Auction Prices, along with Web and WiFi technology, ADS is protecting buyers around the country from paying outrageous prices for used cars," said Laurence Gorman, Automotive Data Systems founder and CEO.
The product comes out of Gorman's two primary interests. In 1988, he started exporting American performance and exotic cars to Japan and has owned several car dealerships in the US since. His I.T. background drove him to found a software company whose product is aimed at car dealerships. Gorman was one of the first and largest pioneers of e-commerce car sales on the Internet in the late 90's.

B.iCycle 2.0.2 For iPhone Brings Cycling Into The 21st Century
[Press Release]
Announcing that Valley Development GmbH, the developer of B.iCycle, has released the latest update for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad users. This cutting-edge technology blends the function of a cyclometer with the technology of a GPS together in this all-in-one, made for the cyclist, app. B.iCycle is a handlebar-mounted tour guide that will get the rider to where they're going with the route of their choice, while recording vital data like current, average and maximum speed, distance traveled and more. B.iCycle is the dream child of innovator, Wolfgang Held; who is a cyclist himself.
"We love biking so we had the dream of an iPhone cyclometer with GPS trails that is easy and fun to use. First, we built it for ourselves. Now it's a great success (at least in Europe) and we can afford to make it better and better." says Held.
Always striving to improve existing technology, Held states "Our main vision is to provide the best cycling computer app for the iPhone. We are a Germany based software development company; and have a pure focus on the iPhone OS, as we strongly believe in the software and hardware quality that Apple is delivering to its customers."
This concept has been welcomed and widely received across the globe. It was ranked fourth out of the top grossing apps in Germany, May 2010. In addition to the cyclometer and GPS, B.iCycle stands out from the crowd with its many other features as well:
(*) Accurate values for current speed, average speed, maximum speed, total distance, trip distance, current altitude, climbed altitude, burned calories as well as trip time. Units can be set to US or metric
(*) Continuous Recording of your trip with the display turned off for up to 6 hours of battery life ("sleep mode" to be activated with the sleep button on top of the iPhone)
(*) Support for map zoom via multi-touch events (pinch) and much better map response and loading times
(*) New map type OpenCycleMap with highlighted bike paths, contour lines and biker POI
(*) Watch your bike automatically move on the map and zoom in on your trail
(*) Receive your trips via email (KML und GPX) and review them at home (e.g., with Google Earth) or share them with other bikers. You can send the data after each ride or anytime later from your track history (e.g. when there is no cellular network available). For detailed analysis of your trips at home we recommend to upload your tracks to the portal GPSies at no charge
(*) Suspend, pause, and resume for trips allows you to receive calls or take a break
(*) iPod function can be used together with B.iCycle
Device Requirements:
