Las Vegas, Nevada, April 7, 2009 - iST was selected to present from over 350 applications from mobile software developers from around the globe. iST presented their mobile application to a panel of judges, including business leaders from AT&T, industry experts, and venture capitalists, in a five-minute "fast-pitch" format. All applications were judged on innovation and originality, marketability, ease of use and user interface design. As a result, iST will be promoted as an AT&T premier wireless application, giving the company exposure to AT&T's more than 70 million customers.
"Fast Pitch continues to be a very successful program in helping us to find new and innovative wireless applications," said Mark Collins, vice president of Consumer Data, AT&T's Wireless Unit. "We extend our congratulations to all the winners and thanks to this year's participants."
"Competing in the Fast Pitch was a great experience. Being selected by one of the largest wireless operators - at one of the largest wireless shows - is an honor in itself, as it validates the unique capabilities provided by iST. We look forward to potentially making iST's pointing-based search technology available to AT&T's customer base," said Chris Frank, CEO of iST.
About the iPointer: Imagine walking through a city, one that is familiar or unfamiliar to you, and seeing a Point of Interest (POI) about which you would like more information, such as an historical site, landmark, restaurant, or other business - just take out your iPointer-enabled cell phone and point and click. In milliseconds your cell phone returns an overview - image, audio, or text - of the point of interest. If it was a restaurant, then you could get a restaurant review, the menu, as well as the day's special. This is possible with iST's iPointer "pointing-based" mobile search and content delivery platform. The iPointer mobile search and content delivery platform is network and carrier agnostic and will run on any mobile communication devices with a GPS, Digital Compass, and a wireless data connection. Our customers benefit from the dynamic content retrieval and update capabilities of our Web-based geospatial search engine and content delivery architecture.
