New App Allows iPhone and iPod touch Users to Access Global Media Content

NuageProduction employs geolocalization on new app

NuageProduction released four applications for the Apple iPhone and iPod touch that help users customize access to thousands of international media sources.

The NuageProduction solutions enable users to personalize content index from ever-expanding directories of TV networks, radio stations, print media, RSS feeds, and Web pages. The applications work on 3G, Edge and Wi-Fi networks, and in Airplane Mode with unique streaming and downloading options. Video access requires a Wi-Fi connection.

Three of the four applications - NuagePapers , NuageTV and NuageRadio - are free on the Apple App store. A fourth application, NuagePlayer, combines the other three applications, including added features and may be bought for $3.99.

Version 1.0 of the applications includes thousands of worldwide links to TV shows, live radio programs, podcasts, newspaper front pages, and RSS feeds. NuagePlayer combines access to all media and offers automated downloads of the latest refreshed enclosures per feed. Users can also add their own feeds to the provided links.

NuageProduction President Frederic Sigal said the company will soon release a fifth application, NuageProtect, for enterprise and mobile users who wish to safeguard or geographically limit access to documents or other content. The geolocalization features, for which a patent is pending, enable companies to restrict access to content only within authorized boundaries or networks.

NuageProduction plans to introduce versions of the applications for the Android, Blackberry, Windows mobile, Nokia, Mac OS X, and Windows platforms.

The company is currently engaged in advanced discussions with global media companies about a variety of potential content-related and advertising partnerships.
