Pepper.pk Launches Early Bird, the World?s First E-mail Client for the BlackBerry PlayBook

Lahore, Pakistan (PRWEB) April 20, 2011

Today, Pepper.pk, a leading mobile applications company announced the launch of the world?s first native email client for the RIM Blackberry? PlayBook. The email app, called Early Bird, is a simple, robust and beautifully designed native email application for RIM's latest tablet device. Early Bird is written for the BlackBerry QNX operating system and unlike browser based email, runs locally on the PlayBook.

Early Bird is designed to be lightweight and fast. With minimal storage requirements, it is highly optimized and runs without consuming much of the PlayBook's storage or memory. The application supports industry standard protocols such as POP and SMTP. This allows users to access popular email services like Gmail, Yahoo Mail!, Microsoft Exchange via POP and most ISP provided email accounts. The sortable Inbox view lets users organize messages by date, sender or subject. SSL/TLS support has been implemented for security conscious users.

With various new features on their way, scheduled to be integrated into the product as free updates, Early Bird promises to be a compelling, must-have productivity application for every PlayBook owner. Some of the features under development for upcoming releases include a contact manager, social media integration and multi-account capability.

Mahe Zehra, the Product and Operations Manager for Pepper.pk said, ?Analysts and reviewers have pointed to the lack of a native E-mail application for the PlayBook, but we've filled this gap before it even became an issue for users. We genuinely believe that the PlayBook is an awesome platform and Pepper.pk's world leading development team will continue to focus its energies on adding tremendous value to this exciting new Tablet.?

Early Bird has already been submitted to the BlackBerry App World store and will be available as soon as RIM's approval process completes. The application will retail for the low introductory price of $ 4.99. More information and updates can be obtained by visiting Pepper.pk?s Early Bird page at http://www.pepper.pk/early-bird.

InvenSense? Announces World's First 6-Axis Motion Processing Solution for Gaming and 3D Remote Control Markets

Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) May 27, 2009

InvenSense, Inc., the leading provider of MEMS-based motion processing products for consumer electronics, today announced the availability of its 6-axis motion processing solution that includes its first single-axis ISZ? yaw gyro sensor family, and newly released IME-3000? 3-axis accelerometer with three analog inputs. These new products, combined with the company's IDG? dual-axis family of roll and pitch gyros, is the world's first 6-axis MEMS-based motion processing solution delivering the smallest, most robust inertial measurement unit (IMU) for CE applications. This solution includes two 4x5x1.2 mm packages for the gyroscopes and one 3x3x0.9 mm package for the accelerometer, providing a small 7x7mm equivalent footprint with 10,000 g-shock rating. Game controller and 3D audio/video remote control manufacturers can now easily integrate an optimized and volume proven 6-axis motion sensor platform from a vertically-integrated supplier.

There is a growing need for more intuitive motion-based user interfaces in the highly competitive gaming and interactive 3D remote control market. Current motion sensing technologies, made popular by the success of the Nintendo Wii? and Apple iPhone?, are based on 3-axis accelerometers that provide basic tilt, portrait versus landscape orientation, and linear motion tracking. Six-axis motion processing adds three axes of rotational movement information from gyroscopes with three axes of linear motion data from accelerometers to deliver high precision 3D motion tracking that is responsive to every move, including gesture recognition. For example, the Wii MotionPlus? accessory tracks players' movements with greater accuracy where even the slightest twist of the wrist or turn of the body is replicated exactly on the television screen. Digital TV remote controls accessing content, such as television shows, movies, music and shopping can be controlled using single-handed motions to quickly select and scroll through menus replacing numerous button clicks.

Today, only a few sophisticated companies have been able to integrate 5- or 6-axis motion functionality into their handheld devices, including Logitech's MX? Air Mouse and the Nintendo Wii MotionPlus accessory. The challenge has been the lack of suitable consumer-grade gyroscopes and the design complexities when integrating different sensor technologies from multiple sources with a mix of specifications and compatibilities. With the InvenSense 6-axis solution, manufacturers may now procure the most advanced and tightly integrated motion processing technology available from a single source.

"The integration of 6-axis motion processing will greatly accelerate MEMS proliferation in devices like game controllers and remote controls," said Jeremie Bouchaud, director of MEMS and principal analyst at iSuppli. "InvenSense is the first company with all the ingredients for an IMU for consumer applications today."

"Our customers can now turn to a single supplier for their motion processing requirements tailored to their specific needs, gaining ease of integration and accelerated time-to-market advantages," said Steve Nasiri, CEO and founder of InvenSense. "Producing a 6-axis motion processing solution is a challenge few in our industry have undertaken and none have yet to deliver, and we will continue to develop even higher levels of integration."

By leveraging its patented and high volume-proven (in millions of monthly unit shipments) Nasiri-Fabrication platform, which integrates MEMS wafers with companion CMOS electronics through wafer-level bonding, InvenSense has driven the gyroscope and accelerometer package sizes down to the smallest system footprint, while providing the highest performance, lowest noise, and the lowest cost semiconductor packaging.

A family of single- and dual-axis gyros support ?2,000?/second full scale range to track the widest dynamic range of physical motions targeting gaming console and PC-based game controllers, while a another solution set is ideally suited for 3D remote controls with a full scale range of up to ?500?/second. The IME-3000 includes three high resolution ADC inputs for the single- and dual-axis gyroscopes to provide six axes of motion processing output information through I2C or SPI interfaces, delivering high accuracy and fast response time not possible with any other sensor combination, such as an accelerometer combined with a compass sensor.

Six-axis motion processing solutions begin sampling in July 2009 with evaluation board sample pricing of $ 250. For more information visit InvenSense.

About InvenSense:

InvenSense is the leading provider of motion processing products for mobile consumer applications, with proven technology and products shipped in millions of units monthly to customers worldwide. The company's patented motion processing technology and Nasiri-Fabrication platform addresses the emerging needs of many mass-market consumer applications such as gaming, image stabilization, remote controls, and handsets that require improved performance, enhanced features, and new and more intuitive motion and gesture-based user-interface solutions. InvenSense is a privately held company with headquarters located in Sunnyvale, California.
