The Long Awaited Pocket I.T. Application Is Now Available In The Android Market











Pocket I.T.


Gilbert, AZ (PRWEB) January 18, 2011

Arizona App Design LLC has released Pocket I.T., a “mobile helpdesk application” that allows users to search and find answers on how to resolve technical issues they are experiencing with several devices. It gives I.T. organizations a tool to help them maximize on productivity by putting a self-help app in the hands of their staff. The new Android application will feature a number of key devices to search and troubleshoot technical issues from basic to more advanced levels.

“The popularity of the Pocket I.T. application is quickly spreading across multiple geographies,” said Eric Tampellini, owner of Arizona App Design LLC. “As an I.T. professional for a very large law firm, I have found my attorneys serve their clients with greater productivity when technology works.” There are two components or markets for this app and the first is that any user has to deal with less than perfect technology. This app will provide them with a tool to not only keep them on track but more importantly on task. The second component is that doctors, lawyers, smaller companies that have an I.T. professional on call can’t always get the response time they need. For example, a smaller law firm’s attorney uses and relies on their smartphone. John Daniels III Esq. of Fennemore Craig Law Firm located in Phoenix, Arizona had this to share – “Our phones are a place of business for many and Pocket I.T. provides professionals with a tool to help us overcome a non-working asset.” As we seek to reduce friction in the user experience with laptops, HTC and smartphones, air cards and, in the future, basic software applications, we are taking advantage of the unique features of each mobile platform. In the case of our Android app, we’re leveraging the Android’s voice search capabilities to make searching technical problems easier and faster.”

The Pocket I.T. application for Android includes features such as:

•Multiple Devices – An app screen will present the user with the opportunity to select a device to troubleshoot, Laptops, Andriod Phones, iPhone, Blackberry, air cards, and soon the WIN7 phones.

•Ease of search – Once the device is selected the user will be able to search by keywords, “my email is not syncing.” The app will then present the user with a narrow list of specific questions related to Email and syncing issues on the device they selected earlier.

•Multiple solutions – There are many possible solutions to fix any given problem. If the first solution does not work for the user they will have the ability to pull up a secondary and third solution.

•Feedback – User ability to leave feedback and post solutions that worked for them.

•Social Network Access – Users can share the solution that worked for them with their friends and family on Facebook and Twitter.

•Voice search – In addition to type search, the Pocket I.T. application will provide updates at a later time with speech-to-text voice search.

Electric Pocket Puts a Fresh Face on Android, Offering PhoneFace Speed “Photo-Dialing” for Android-based Smartphones

Electric Pocket Puts a Fresh Face on Android, Offering PhoneFace Speed “Photo-Dialing” for Android-based Smartphones











PhoneFace is a photo-dial program for Android smartphones which automatically retrieves photos from Facebook or Twitter profiles


Wye Valley, UK (PRWEB) April 23, 2009

Electric Pocket is today announcing a new version of PhoneFace, a speed dial application that launches phone calls, text messages and emails with a simple click on a contact’s photo, for smartphones based on Google’s Android operating system. The application shows photos of a user’s friends to offer a fun and easy way to locate the right contact to call. PhoneFace even retrieves the most recent pictures of contacts from Facebook and Twitter.

Rather than forcing users to scroll through hundreds of contacts in the Address Book of their Android Smartphone, PhoneFace adds a new twist to “speed dialing” by enabling them to flick through photos for their most commonly called contacts and quickly select the person they wish to call. PhoneFace on Android also offers a “Map” option, allowing users to quickly locate their contact’s address, and even get directions from the current location.

PhoneFace users can select any picture files for their contacts – whether they are stored on their Android phone or storage card – and for the millions of Facebook and Twitter users around the world, Electric Pocket has added the ability to locate and update the pictures of PhoneFace contacts with their most recent Facebook or Twitter profile pictures. This integration gives users a ready source of excellent photographs for their contacts – and uniquely, the speed-dial picture becomes a photograph chosen by the contact themselves.

“PhoneFace is a light and breezy speed-dialer aimed at helping anyone reach out to their friends and family more quickly with their Android smartphones,” said Iain Barclay, Electric Pocket’s co-founder and Chief Product Officer. “It’s so much easier to look for a familiar face than sort through hundreds of names in a directory.”

PhoneFace is available now from the Android Market, or Electric Pocket’s PhoneFace web site at http://phoneface.com – introductory pricing is just $ 0.99.

The PT app tech team has released the product for Android phones by Google, HTC, Samsung, LG, Motorola, Acer, T-Mobile, Alcatel, General Mobile, Gigabyte, Garmin, Huawei and Sony Ericsson.

Use of the Pocket Trainer APP is simple:

First, answer a few key questions about yourself – Pocket Trainer creates your program instantly.

Then, as you break through all your training plateaus, Pocket Trainer tracks your progress and automatically updates your program, continuing to challenge you as you reach new fitness levels – Your Personal Trainer. View your workout history at any time to instantly see the progress you’ve made.

Pocket Trainer is a very dynamic App, changing and updating your routine based on your personal progress, therefore offering an unlimited amount of workouts. Whether working out with equipment you have at home, at a facility, or traveling and have no equipment, Pocket Trainer will create a customized, balanced program for you which will continually update based on your progress.

“We created this fitness APP for beginner to advanced training,” said Ruwe. “As you make progress, Pocket Trainer adapts right on your Android, making the exercises more challenging. Just like an actual trainer!”

“PT really is your Professional Trainer in your pocket,” said Hess. “If you follow the program Pocket Trainer creates for you, you cannot fail!”

The two Professional trainers saw a need for a mobile fitness app that would meet the busy lifestyle of Android phone users, and created Pocket Trainer. Designed with the mobile app user in mind, Android downloads of Pocket Trainer are expected to quickly reach record numbers.
