Just lately to ameliorate services adverts and affiliate advertising since the two use a method of marketing and advertising to be much much better to bring much more earnings, Google Inc. and Apple Inc. have just did a confidential deal about ad provider.

Apple Inc. does not emerge to have excluded Google Inc. and others from selling focused adverts in iPhone and iPad applications, soon after implying several weeks back that it may well to do.

The new and up-to-date apps are obtaining accepted by Apple, even however the applications are enabled also to serve advertisements by third-party ad internet works in Google’s Cellular Adsense and AdMob. Formally, Apple and Google muted to comment about that advert services.

The Apple is struggling his handle to place forth above cellular ads its marketing campaign in iPhone and ipad. The Cupertino, Calif, firm Thursday set up its own mobile-advertising support, iAds, which functions with makes to type interactive advertisements exposed inside apps. Apple debits million to hundreds of thousands to marketers who make use of iAds, with builders getting paid sixty% of revenues.

Apple is obtaining two fresh principles, the very first is a license of arrangement for Apple’s IOS four operating system aimed to its iPhone and iPad devices, and the second is to forbid ad organizations from persuasive utilization information from programs, creating it arduous to point advertisements to consumers and compete with iAds.

Nonetheless, Apple modifies the setting in early June to allow impartial advert networks to accumulate consumer data to transact adverts. Even though the changes ended up whispered to motionless bar Google from serving focused ads in Apple’s App Keep since it explained clearly that advertising and marketing provider suppliers owned by a developer of cellular phones and cell operating systems didn’t meet the criteria as impartial. Apple has in no way corroborated who it was using down with this declaration, but Google has overtly knocked Apple above the amendment to conceal their deal. Evidence of that scenario, apps like “Tremendous KO Boxing II”a recreation app produced by Glu Cell Inc., ended up agreed freshly for use in iPhone and iPads. And it utilizes Google’s AdMob to set adverts. Also,”Spawn Glow”app which uses Google’s Mobile Adsense authorised newly for the iPhone 4. Apple would not be decreeing the limitation.

Cell promoting is important for developers as they get compensated for entertaining the advertisements. Income from advertisements sold on cellphones in the US alone is believed to improve 43% to 3 million in 2010, up from 6 hundreds of thousands in 2009, according to review firm eMarketer. By 2013, it is projected to arrive at .56 billion.

IAds is lucrative as a substitute of the other ad networks. Apple will cost advertisers a penny every time a shopper sees a banner ad, and each and every time a buyer provides on the banner. With other advert networks, they get a fraction of a penny per banner ad demonstrate, if they get something, and 70 cents or less for each just click.

IAds will revolve out in North America first and we’ll rise up the number of ads served in the weeks and months in advance.

Mobile Advertising In Applications Still Premature

by Wayan Vota

Mobile advertising is the new buzz word for smartphone applications. Google mobile ads are apple iAd are the solutions available for Android and iPhone respectively. Broadly there are two types of mobile advertising today. One form is ads being generated as part of a browser search query and the other one is where ads pop-up as part of an application. The former is very similar to ads that one would see while using the Google search on a PC. Since a mobile phone as the ability to make calls unlike a typical PC, phone numbers are published along with the Ad. For example, if the search query is pizza, then the search results can show a listing of the closest Pizza Hut along with a phone number which the user can click, to initiate a call directly from the browser window. The publisher of the Ad would now pay in a PPC (Pay Per Call) model vs. the traditional CPC (Cost Per Click) model. The later which is mobile application advertising is where a publisher of an application can sign up for ads within the application. This mode can also have the PPC and CPC models of payments by the advertisers.

The above two pictures are two screen shots depicting the two forms of mobile advertising available for advertisers today. This article concentrates on the later form of mobile advertising which is In-Application advertising. The secound picture above is a screen shot of the popular game angry birds. On the top right hand side you will notice the banner of the Audible Ad. When the user clicks on this banner he/she get navigated to the audible site in the browser. Following this, money is deducted from Audible’s advertising account in the CPC (Cost Per Click) payment model. But is the advertiser really getting the bank for the buck with this form of advertising?

Free iPhone application can make you rich!

Apple iAd

Generate a good Cash flow on your free iPhone app

If you have an idea of an application for the iPhone, and are willing to give it away for free, you might have a chance to make serious money on it anyway.

Develop your app for iPhone

First, get hold of the iPhone SDK (software Developer Kit) and get your program made, then get it launched on the Apple market place for application – App Store.

Approve that the application can use Apple iAd, and wait for the response. If your application gets downloaded and used, a revenue stream will come to you as a function of the iAd and not the sales of your application, which is free.

So what is iAd?

iAd – The in-app advertising system Apple offers to developers of iPhone apps.
The iAd system allows developers to include advertising in their apps to earn more money or subsidize free apps. The ads can offer sophisticated interactivity and animation.
Apple sells the advertising and serves the ads from its servers. Revenue from the ads is split 60/40 in favor of the app developer. iAd made its debut along with iPhone OS 4.0 in 2010.

Apple officially launched a developer preview of the iPhone OS 4 in August 2010 with integrated ads, location, and multitasking, promising that most users will have access to it.

Steve Jobs said that the next generation of the most advanced mobile operating system in the world by Apple, contains several enhancements to the OS that users have been asking for, including “tentpole” improvements like multitasking, background task completion, and background location. In total, over 100 new user features were added.

Some, including multitasking and the ability to create folders, have previously appeared in other mobile operating systems. Apple also officially launched its “iAd” mobile ad platform, which will be integrated into the OS and will provide a way, in the words of Jobs, “to keep free apps free.”

Keep applications free

“We’re just babes in the woods,” in mobile ads, Jobs said, adding that Apple would host the ads but not design them. Instead, the company will leave that work to ad agencies and the developer network.

iAd will combine the ability of the Web to provide interactivity, with the ability of TV ads to generate emotion. Apple will keep 40 percent of all ad revenue, ceding the other 60 percent to the developer. By theoretically placing an ad every three minutes in front of a user (who, Apple’s research has found, spends an average of 30 minutes using apps), multiplied by the 80 million iPhones and iPod touches sold to date, is an “incredible demographic,” Jobs said.

iPhone 3G owners and owners of the older iPod touches will not be able to take advantage of some of the capabilities of the new OS, including multitasking, because the hardware simply does not support them.

20 year old Norwegian Erik Storli makes around 1500 USD pr day on his iPhone app which turns the iPhone into a flashlight. So far, 350.000 persons have downloaded the free version of the application in the USA and around 1000 from other parts of the world. The application is free in the US, however costs around 99 cents in the rest of the world.

All this is well and fine, but…

1. You need a Good idea

How do you know if your idea is a good one? The first step is to even care if your idea is solid; and the second step is to answer the question does it have at least one of the indicators of success?

 Does your app solve a unique problem? Before the light bulb was invented, somebody had to shout out “Man, reading by candlelight is not good enough anymore!” Figure out what is not good enough anymore, and how your app can make the life of its user more comfortable/effective/fun/cost efficient etc.

Does the app serve a specific niche? Though there are not any stats on the App Store search, the usage of applications is certainly growing with the explosion of App Store inventory. Find a niche with ardent fans (pet lovers, for example) and create an app that caters to a specific audience.

Does it make people laugh? This is a no-brainer. If you can come up with something funny, you are definitely on the right track and your idea may be the golden one. Heck, I hit a red “do not press” button for 5 minutes yesterday.

Are you building a better wheel? Are there existing successful apps that lack significant feature enhancements? Don’t be satisfied with just a wine list; give it a way to talk to their fans!

Will the app be highly interactive? Let’s face it; most of us have the attention span of a flea. Successful games and utilities engage the user by requiring action!

Does your app fall in to one of these categories? If yes, it’s just about time to prepare the necessary tools.

2. Checklist of tools available

Below is a list of stuff you will need (* items are required, the rest are nice-to-have):

join the Apple iPhone Developer Program () *
get iPhone or iPod Touch *
get an Intel-based Mac computer with Mac OS X 10.5.5,
prepare a Non-Disclosure Agreement *
download and install the latest version of the iPhone SDK if you don’t already have it.
a spiral bound notebook*

]]>

Action: Load up on your required supplies.

3. What are you really good at?

What skills do you bring to the table? Are you a designer whose brain objects to Objective C? A developer who can’t design their way out of a paper sack? Or maybe you are neither, but an individual with an idea you’d like to take to the market? Designing a successful iPhone application is a lot like starting a small business. You play the role of Researcher, Project Manager, Accountant, Information Architect, Designer, Developer, Marketer and Advertiser – all rolled into one.

Remember what all good entrepreneurs know – it takes a team to make a product successful. Don’t get me wrong, you certainly can do it all. But you can also waste a lot of time, energy and sanity in the process. Don’t go crazy, reference the checklist below and ask yourself: What roles are the best fit for you to lead? Then find other talented people to fill in the gaps. The infusion of additional ideas can only enrich the product!

Skills Checklist
Ability to Discern what works/doesn’t work in existing iPhone Apps
Market research
Outlining App Functionality (Sitemap Creation)
Sketching
GUI Design
Programming (Objective C, Cocoa) (we assume here that we are creating a native application)
App Promotion and Marketing

Remember to have contractors sign your non-disclosure agreement. Having a contract in place tells your contractor “I’m a professional that takes my business and this project seriously. Now don’t go running’ off with this idea.”

Action: Select skills that are a good fit for you to lead. For those roles where you cannot lead, hire professionals.

4. Do your homework and market research

Market research is a fancy way of saying “Look at what other people are doing and don’t make the same mistakes.” Learn from the good, bad and ugly in the App Store. Coming up with creative solutions in the app concept development and design starts with analyzing other (maybe similar) applications. Even if you encounter a lot of poorly designed apps, your mind will reference these examples of what not to do.

 

Action: Answer these questions:

What problem does your app solve?
What products have you seen that perform a similar task?
How do successful apps present information to users?
How can you build on what works and make it unique?
What value does your app bring to your audience?

5. Get to know the iphone/IPod Touch User Interface (UI)

If you want to create an iPhone app, you need to understand the capabilities of the iPhone and its interface. Can you shoot a .45 caliber bullet out of your iPhone? No. Can you shoot videos? Yes!

The good news is that you don’t have to memorize the encyclopedic Apple User Interface Guidelines to get a feel for what works and what doesn’t in iPhone Apps. Download and play with as many apps as you can, and think about what functionality you want to include in your product.

Take note of:

How do well-designed apps navigate from screen to screen?
How do they organize information?
How MUCH information do they present to the user?
How do they take advantage of the iPhone’s unique characteristics: the accelerometer, swiping features, pinch, expand and rotate functions?

Action: Download the Top 10 apps in every category and play with all of them. Review the Apple Guidelines for UI design and list at least 5 features you’d like to incorporate into your app.

6. Who is your target group – future users of your application?

We assume here that you’ve already determined that your app will bring value and that you will have a raging audience for your app. Well, fine, they are raging fans, but who are they really? What actions will they take to achieve their goals within the app?

If it’s a game, maybe they want to beat their high score. Or perhaps they are a first time player – how will their experience differ from someone who is getting a nice case of brain-rot playing your game all day?

If it’s a utility app, and your audience wants to find a coffee shop quickly, what actions will they take within the app to find that coffee shop? Where are they when they’re looking for coffee? Usually in the car! Do present an interface that requires multiple taps, reading and referencing a lot? Probably not! This is how thinking about how real-life intersects design.

Action: Line item out the different types of people who will use your app. You can even name them if you want to make the scenarios you draw out as real as possible.

7. Sketch out Your idea

And by “sketch” I mean literally sketch. Line out a 9-rectangle grid on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper and get to sketching!

Ask yourself:

What information does each screen need to present?
How can we take the user from point A to point B to point C?
How should elements on the screen be proportioned or sized in relation to each other (i.e. is this thing even tap-able?)

Thumbnailing your ideas on paper can push your creativity far beyond where your imagination might stagnate working in an sketching application! You can also buy the iPhone Stencil Kit to quickly sketch out iPhone UI prototypes on paper.

Action: Create at least one thumbnail page of your application per screen. Experiment with various navigational schemes, the text you put on buttons, and how screens connect. If you want to transfer your sketches into digital format, iPlotz is a good tool to check out.

8. Design your application 

If you are a designer, download the iPhone GUI Photoshop template or our iPhone PSD Vector Kit. Both are collections of iPhone GUI elements that will save you a lot of time in getting started. If you’ve solidified your layout during sketching, drawing up the screens will be less of a layout exercise and more about the actual design of the app.

If you are not a designer, hire one! It’s like hiring an electrician to do electrical work. You can go to Home Depot and buy tools to try it yourself, but who wants to risk getting zapped? If you’ve followed steps 1–3, you’ll have everything you need for a designer to get started.

When looking for a designer, try to find someone who has experience designing for mobile devices. They may have some good feedback and suggested improvements for your sketches. A few places to look for designers: Coroflot, Crowdspring, eLance. When posting your job offer, be very specific about your requirements, and also be ready to review a lot of portfolios.

Action: If you are a designer, get started in Photoshop. If you are not a designer, start interviewing designers for your job.

9. Programming

Even though this how-to is sequential, it’s a good idea to get a developer on board at the same time when you line up design resources. Talking with a developer sooner than later will help you scope out a project that is technically feasible and within your budget.

If you are a Objective C/Cocoa developer crack, open Xcode and get started! A few forums to join if you haven’t already:

Apple Dev Forum
iPhoneSDK (moderated by Erica Sadun)
iPhoneSDKForum
iPhoneSB

If you are not a developer, you know what to do – find one! Specify the type of app you want to produce – whether it is a game, utility or anything else. Each type usually requires a different coding skill set. A few places to look for developers: Odesk, iPhoneFreelancer, eLance and any of the forums listed above.

10. Submit your application to Apple Store

OK, so how do you submit your application to Apple Store now? The process of compiling your application and publishing the binary for iTunes Connect can be difficult for anyone unfamiliar with XCode. If you are working with a developer, ask them to help you:

Create your Certificates
Define your App ID’s
Create your Distribution Provisioning Profile
Compile the application
Upload to iTunes Connect

Action: If you are a developer, map out a development timeline and get started. If you are not a developer, start interviewing devs for your job.

11. Promote your application

If a tree falls in the middle of the woods and nobody was around to hear it does it make a sound? Apps can sit in the store unnoticed very easily. Don’t let this happen to you. Be ready with a plan to market your app. In fact, be ready with many plans to market your app. Be ready to experiment, some ideas will work, others won’t.

Strategies for maintaining/boosting app sales:
Incorporating social media. If your users make the high score on his or her favorite game, it is a good idea to make it easy for the user to post it to Facebook or Twitter. Think about how your app can incorporate social media and build that functionality into your app. At a minimum, set up a fan page for your app on Facebook and Twitter and use them as platforms to communicate with your users and get feedback on your app.
Pre-launch promotion. Start building buzz about your app before it has launched. E-mail people who write about things that relate to your app and see if they will talk up the upcoming release of your app.
Plan for multiple releases. Don’t pack your app with every single feature you want to offer in the very first release. Make your dream list for the app and make sure that the app is designed to incorporate all of the features at some time in the future. Then periodically drop new versions of the app to boost app store sales.

Action: Make a list of 20 promotional strategies that target the audience for your app. Take action on them yourself or hire someone who can!

12. Stay focused and don’t give up!

It’s easy when you are working on your first app to get all AppHappy, dreaming up a zillion new app-ideas. Dream, but don’t get sidetracked by new ideas. Your first app needs to make a big splash and getting involved in too many projects at once can dilute your passion for making your first application a success.

Action: Get out there and go surprise the audience with some stunning apps!

What’s the True Cost of LASIK? Trusted LASIK Surgeons Enhances Cost of LASIK Consumer Resources

What’s the True Cost of LASIK? Trusted LASIK Surgeons Enhances Cost of LASIK Consumer Resources











Find a LASIK or Cataract Surgeon with Proven Experience at Trusted LASIK Surgeons

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) December 13, 2010

Trusted LASIK Surgeons is pleased to announce its updated consumer resources concerning the cost of LASIK, including an enhanced LASIK Cost discussion as well a free report for consumers, our “LASIK Cost Considerations- Consumer Checklist”, which can be found at the Trusted LASIK Surgeons website . These LASIK cost resources can help patients to more fully understand what makes up the actual cost of LASIK and avoid surprises from additional fees not initially included in the LASIK price first provided by a particular LASIK center.

The “Cost of LASIK” discussion at the Trusted LASIK Surgeons breaks down the cost of laser vision correction surgery on several levels in an effort to help consumers understand what components typically make up a LASIK surgery procedure. One important consideration is whether advanced technologies like All Laser LASIK (Bladeless) or Wave-front (“Custom Cornea”) are included in the price of LASIK or will cost extra.    

According to highly regarded LASIK and refractive expert surgeon, Dr. Daniel Durrie of Durrie Vision, “The LASIK Cost discussion at Trusted LASIK Surgeons provides a helpful and comprehensive guide to understand what goes into the cost of LASIK. Consumers may be confused or enticed when they see or hear a low price advertisement. The cost of LASIK has actually not varied a great deal over the last decade, while the procedure has continued to be refined with new techniques and technological advancements. If a LASIK provider is a few hundred dollars more than another surgeon down-the-street, it is most likely because he or she has invested in the most advanced technology, which not only helps lead to better outcomes from LASIK but also can minimize risks of complications. Trusted LASIK Surgeons also provides information that can help patients save money on LASIK as well as some ways to afford LASIK.” Dr. Durrie and his partner, Dr. Jason Stahl, treats patients seeking LASIK experts and refractive, and cataract surgeons in Kansas City and Independence, as well as from other locales throughout Missouri and Kansas.

The “LASIK Cost” page at Trusted LASIK Surgeons also discusses other sources of potential costs that may not be included in the initial LASIK price, whether found in a LASIK ad or otherwise by office personnel of a particular LASIK provider. By asking questions and researching costs before scheduling a visit with any LASIK surgeon, Trusted LASIK Surgeons believes consumers can be better prepared and avoid being surprised by a laser vision centers that adds extra fees that increase the total cost of LASIK.

Omaha LASIK surgeon William Schlichtemeier of LaserVision Correction in Omaha has found that “when I ask many younger LASIK patients what brought them to my office, they answer something like ‘I did the math. I added up how much my glasses and contacts were costing me and LASIK is a no-brainer. Clearly, many patients are concerned about costs, so the LASIK Cost page at Trusted LASIK Surgeons should be very helpful for consumers researching the price of their LASIK surgery. Trusted LASIK Surgeon has provided a solid overview of what costs are involved with laser eye surgery as well as some ways to save money on their laser vision surgery. By understanding the costs of different technologies used for LASIK as well as what is included in the fee for LASIK like post-operative care,” Dr. Schlichtemeier added, “patients can make a more informed decision and save money on their LASIK procedure.”

In connection with the LASIK Cost discussion, Trusted LASIK Surgeons has updated its “LASIK Cost Considerations- Consumer Checklist”, a consumer resource available for download free of charge from the Trusted LASIK Surgeons website. Before scheduling an appointment, patients may use this checklist when they first contact a LASIK provider to determine whether any practice they are considering uses flat fee pricing or sliding scale pricing. The checklist is designed to help patients get a more complete picture of the total price for LASIK, regardless of the method of pricing used by the practice. By using the checklist to calculate the total cost of LASIK, consumers can compare LASIK prices charged between LASIK centers on a more accurate basis.

“The Trusted LASIK Surgeons LASIK cost checklist is a very useful resource for people interested in LASIK who are concerned about costs,” said Dr. Jon Dishler, a LASIK and laser vision surgery expert from Denver, Colorado. Like Dr. Schlictemeier, Dr. Dishler has found some patients decided to have LASIK in order to save money on future purchases of contact lenses and glasses in the long-term. “At Dishler Laser Institute, we have found that in addition to pointing out issues related to the cost of the procedure comparatively, the savings from contact lenses and glasses can be substantial for patients who have laser eye surgery. Some studies estimate that the savings can be ten times or more than the cost of LASIK.” Dr. Dishler believes “in tough economic times like these, LASIK makes even more sense so the quality of the LASIK experience is even more important than the costs.”

When considering the LASIK price charged by different laser vision practices, Dr. Dishler noted that it is important to “compare apples to apples. State-of-the-art LASIK today means ‘all-laser’ custom LASIK. Some laser centers that advertise use older technology or start with a lower price for limited prescriptions and that price will almost always increase. Anyone researching the price of LASIK, whether advertised or provided over the phone, should find out if that price includes use of the latest technologies.” In Dr. Dishler’s opinion, “flat fee pricing of LASIK regardless of prescription that includes the latest technology is what’s best for patients. It includes everything and is transparent. Naturally, people considering LASIK want the best experience, so it can be disappointing for those who think they found a low price to find later there are additional fees to have LASIK for use of the latest technology and other extras. Most of my patients appreciate the openness of flat free pricing, particularly those who first visited a LASIK practice because it seemed to offer cheap LASIK.”

Our LASIK Cost page also looks into how choosing a highly qualified LASIK surgeon can save you money. As Dr. Edward Manche, Director of Cornea and Refractive Surgery at the Stanford Eye Laser Center and Professor of Ophthalmology at the Stanford University School of Medicine explained, “in some cases, it is better not to have LASIK surgery, since not all people are good candidates for LASIK. A reputable LASIK expert can save you thousands of dollars where LASIK has little chance of meeting normal expectations, or worse yet, if there is a significant risk of serious complications from LASIK. I believe a LASIK expert is more likely to make these types of determinations and to strongly advise such patients not to have LASIK. In addition, an expert LASIK surgeon is uniquely qualified to handle any potential complications that may occur during and after your surgery.”

“I also believe surgeons who specialize in refractive surgery tend to be more up-to date on the latest developments and research in the field. They also are more likely to offer other refractive surgery procedures in addition to LASIK, which means you’ll be more likely to have the procedure most suited to you. Conversely, if you go somewhere that only offers laser vision correction surgery, you’re more likely to be offered LASIK surgery even though there may be a more appropriate alternative surgical procedure for your particular case.”

Because consumers typically have many choices in their local area and it can be difficult to determine how one LASIK surgeon is better than another. Trusted LASIK Surgeons believes professional credentials are a useful basis of comparison, which is why each surgeon profiled in our directory is screened based upon his or her professional accomplishments, experience, research, and other standards. Since surgeons featured in our directory have typically made contributions to the field of refractive surgery through research and most have achieved professional recognition for their expertise by their peers, patients can have confidence in choosing a surgeon qualified at Trusted LASIK Surgeons.

Indianapolis LASIK and refractive surgeon Dr. William Whitson, who practices at Whitson Vision explained why he believes the quality of the surgeon is more important than price. “It has always baffled me that some people who are seeking to correct their eyesight through LASIK will use the advertised price as one of their main decision points as to where to go. This would be understandable for a consumer commodity such as a pound of coffee or a cheeseburger, but really should have no place in the serious decision making process of choosing where, and by whom, to have LASIK or any eye surgery procedure. The consequences of the wrong choice in food selection may mean one bad meal, whereas with LASIK, the very real consequence of a poor choice focused on price over quality could result in serious and lasting effects that may not be fixable, even by an expert.”

In Dr. Whitson’s experience, “Many of my patients have told me that the attractive advertised price that initially drew them into checking out one of the discount LASIK centers turned out to be a marketing mirage. Moreover, when the smoke cleared after the sales people finished their pitch, the actual price was usually very close to what I charge. People looking to have eye surgery should not feel like they are visiting a used car sales lot which can often be the case for patients who go to a discount laser centers. And speaking of experts,” Dr. Whitson continued, “I believe the physicians who have met the high standards used at Trusted Lasik Surgeons in its screening process represent those who are among the very best LASIK and refractive surgeons in the United States. These are the doctors who have dedicated their careers to perfecting the practice of medicine and who have been acknowledged by their peers for their expertise. People seeking the best possible outcomes from surgical vision correction would be well advised to visit a local surgeon qualified by Trusted LASIK Surgeons and avoid the temptation to go for a deal where the price goes up and the results could very well fail to meet expectations, or worse, lead to complications.”

In Trusted LASIK Surgeons’ opinion, consumers can get the best of both worlds for their eyes- a highly experienced LASIK surgeon at a price they can afford when they choose a surgeon from the Trusted LASIK Surgeons Directory. All surgeons in our LASIK directory are screened based on experience, premier patient care, and professional credentials to ensure that only those LASIK surgeons who are among the best in the United States will be listed.

Trusted LASIK Surgeon estimates that many of the LASIK experts in the Trusted LASIK Surgeons Directory have exceptional professional achievements in the field of vision correction surgery that place them among the top 1% of LASIK and refractive surgeons in the United States. Nearly all of the surgeons have published research in the field of refractive surgery, have a current or past faculty appointment in the department of ophthalmology at a university or teaching hospital, and have participated in an at least one FDA clinical study concerning a laser or other device used in vision correction surgery. Most of these refractive experts perform LASIK eye surgery and other vision correction procedures on patients with nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism (blurred vision), and presbyopia. These surgeons typically have performed LASIK, cataract surgery, or another vision correction procedure on other eye doctors, their families, and have also managed and treated complications of patients who had problems from an eye surgery procedure such as LASIK that was originally performed by a different eye surgeon.

“We have provided our LASIK Cost discussion and the LASIK cost checklist as guidelines to help consumers navigate the underlying considerations concerning the actual cost of their LASIK surgery procedure,” said Dr. James J. Salz, CEO of Trusted LASIK Surgeons. “In today’s economy, many discount LASIK centers have taken an aggressive marketing approach by promoting cheap LASIK ads to people who at first may not understand the potential additional costs that can increase the price of LASIK. In such cases, people often discover that the cheap LASIK price they saw or heard was not so cheap after all. By using our LASIK cost checklist to determine the total price where advanced technologies and other options commonly associated with LASIK are included, we believe consumers will find the total LASIK fee charged by a discount laser center is comparable to, if not nearly the same as, the LASIK price charged by a surgeon featured in our Trusted LASIK Surgeons Directory. And when the total price is close, we believe people will be more inclined to consider the quality and reputation of a surgeon as primary considerations in their selection of a LASIK surgeon.”

Yes, that’s all I am taking with me on this trip. Only one small carry-on suitcase with lots of gadgets, a suit, a few books, toiletry, clothes… I travel light and never check my luggage.

QuickReader – Double Your Reading Speed in Five Days with This Powerful New iPhone eBook Reader

QuickReader – Double Your Reading Speed in Five Days with This Powerful New iPhone eBook Reader











Portland, Oregon (PRWEB) October 29, 2009

QuickReader – Double your reading speed in five days with this powerful new iPhone eBook reader.

The new QuickReader application for the iPhone and iPod Touch is the first eBook reader which comes with an integrated speed reading tutor specifically designed to improve the speed and accuracy of your reading within days. The Power Reader function is a user customizable speed reading tool which actually trains your eye to scan through words on a page at speeds of up to 10 times faster than normal. Regular use of the Power Reader function can double your reading speed in a matter of days as you progress through to the fastest settings.

QuickReader is the only iPhone compatible eBook reader on the market which follows the popular Guided Reading technique, as taught in most of the better speed reading courses. The advantage of this method is it teaches the eye to scan the page properly from side to side, as opposed to just flashing words up onto the center of the screen as with most other products. QuickReader comes with options to configure the speed, tracking cursor and page style which means the user can optimize the settings for their own preferences and progress. This helps the user to get comfortable with the program quicker, and encourages them to gently improve their reading speed and accuracy at a pace which suits their abilities.

The application is shipped with a number of full length eBooks with which to practice, and features a simple and yet elegant user interface design which is easy to understand. Developer Patrick Thompson spent 6 months researching and designing the program after failing to find a product on the market that could teach him how to scan long business documents quickly without forgetting the content.

“The other speed reading products out there tend to be rather clunky and lack the customization options I added to QuickReader,” he explains, “I found that by customizing the Power Reader to my tastes I could increase my page reading speed up to 400 words a minute, which means I’m now scanning a page and retaining the information three times faster than I was before. It’s an incredibly useful tool for busy people who are pressed for time.”

The program also serves as a standard eBook reader and Thompson plans to eventually offer a full range of popular eBooks titles which users can browse and buy from within the program. QuickReader is available from the Apple iTunes App Store for $ 4.99 for the basic program, which includes 21 full length eBooks. More information can be obtained from http://www.quickreader.net and http://www.quickreader.net/videos or on the iTunes App Store at http://bit.ly/GetQuickReader. Thompson is also available for interviews via e-mail, by calling 1-888-858-7969, or on Skype at “stray.rocket”. You can follow the product development on @QuickReader on Twitter. Screenshots are available at http://www.quickreader.net/screenshots.
