Car Factor 4 Brings One-stop Car Shopping To iPhone and iPad - Published
Designed specifically for the iPhone and iPad, the popular mobile application Car Factor 4, latest installment of the mobile application designed for the iPhone and the iPad, brings one-stop shopping to the car buyers just in time for the holiday season. Car Factor taps industry databases to make pricing, technical specifications, and automotive news available to the buyers on the go.
"Car shoppers spend less and less time interacting with the dealers face-to-face", says Chad Collier, Car Factor co-founder and President. "Our platform gives buyers all the information they need, helps them make the right choice, and gives them an easy way to interact with the dealer before, during and after the purchase".
Car Factor improves car shopping in three major ways. First, it allows shoppers to interact with the dealers without disclosing the full contact information. Second, Car Factor partners with the local group buying programs to make the best possible deals available to the shoppers. Third, Car Factor works offline and so shoppers can use it anytime anywhere, even real-time in their final negotiations with the dealer.
New version of Car Factor builds on the existing success of the application. "Car Factor gives me all the info I need without having to talk to a salesperson. I was in the market for a new car and Car Factor has really helped me find what's best for my money and my needs - my new Ford Fiesta", said Car Factor user.
In addition to the one-stop shopping, Car Factor has a lot to offer to any car enthusiast:
(*) Browse through the high-resolution photos of cars - interior and exterior
(*) See what others say about cars and how much have they paid
(*) Read the latest industry news
(*) Use the built-in calculator with daily pricing updates
Every day thousands of shoppers across the US and hundreds globally are using the Car Factor app to gain buying power. Car Factor is quickly becoming the trusted source for on the go automobile content.
Device Requirements:
(*) iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
(*) Requires iOS 3.0 or later (iOS 4.0 Tested)
(*) 6.0 MB
Car Factor 4.3 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Reference category.

Just in time for Christmas, BCNmultimedia announced the release of Children’s Bible 3.0, a good tool to start reading the Bible with children. This version of the app adds movies to the bestseller kid’s Bible comic books for iPhone and iPad. Each week, the app provides you free access to a different movie based on the most famous Bible stories, making it easy to talk about Jesus and God with kids.
Published in seven languages, Children’s Bible has always been on the top 100 of iPhone and iPad USA rankings in books category. Premium content is also available as an in-app purchase.
“As a child grows up, there are no stories more important or more powerful than the timeless lessons of The Bible,” says Publishing Manager Toni Matas. “Our writers and artists are overjoyed with our success, particularly in the ever-growing field of electronic media.
Children’s Bible contains movies and comic books on the Bible for children between ages 3 and 13. The content of Children’s Bible covers the most important passages of Sacred History and the Gospels. The app offers a free movie and a free comic book changing every Monday, so that teachers in Sunday Schools and catechists can plan their lessons around them. Each free movie presents a complete episode, and each free comic book presents 30 full color pages, taken from the paid comic books collection: The Genesis, The Exodus, Kings and Prophets, Birth of Jesus, Parables and Miracles, Passion of Jesus Christ, Old Testament (compilation), and New Testament (compilation).
The app, colorful and easy to navigate, has garnered over 250,000 downloads in the past ten months. The comic books are available in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Catalan and the movies are available in English, Spanish and Catalan. French version will be available on first quarter 2011. The movies, drawn by the same illustrator as the comic books, have received widespread acclaim for their clear writing, their wonderful coloring job, as well as their splendid music soundtrack. The voices, clear and deeply felt, accompany suitably the realism and drama of the images.

TUNEWEAR ( http://www.tunewear.com ) announces the new TUNEFOLIO URBAN for iPad series of mobility cases for iPad. TUNEFOLIO URBAN can be carried like a notebook, includes a shoulder strap and can be positioned as a stand. TUNEFOLIO URBAN for iPad is available in two styles, Wide and Tall, and four color variations.
TUNEFOLIO URBAN for iPad Wide
TUNEFOLIO URBAN for iPad is the perfect balance of form and function. It is a durable nylon case which folds closed like a notebook or opens to become a stand positioned at any viewing angle. TUNEFOLIO URBAN is slim and solid protection for iPad.
When closed, TUNEFOLIO URBAN can be carried like a notebook with iPad held securely inside. The iPad screen is fully protected and the durable elastic band keeps the case tightly shut and prevents iPad from slipping out. This is a great feature to have when sliding iPad into your bag or backpack.
The benefit of the Wide style is that it can be folded into a horizontal standing position and is best for watching movies or surfing websites. It has a velcro adhesive mechanism which allows setting the iPad angle at any position. To adjust the position, simply lift iPad up and then place it back down down to the preferred angle. Adjust it to a steeper angle for watching a movie or adjust it to a lower angle for typing.
A detachable long shoulder strap is included so TUNEFOLIO can be carried across the shoulder when you are on the move. By placing the strap around your neck, iPad can be positioned like a sketch board for drawing and viewing. Quickly attach or detach the strap to suit your needs.
With iPad inside, the Dock connector, buttons and switches are all fully accessible for charging and controlling iPad. TUNEFILM protective film is included to cover the iPad LCD. There is also a cleaning cloth to wipe away dirt or dust after use.
