Qualcomm Atheros announced this week the launch of Skifta 1.0 for Android devices. Skifta 1.0 transforms any Android device into a global media remote control that lets consumers access and enjoy their music, videos and photos at home and on the move wherever their media resides – at home, in the cloud and anywhere in between. A unique feature of the Skifta platform is its Channel library, which eliminates the need for consumers to manage multiple apps to access their favorite media from the cloud. Skifta will be announcing major new channels in addition to Picasa, Photobucket, Soma.fm, Napster, ShoutCast, Revision 3 and TED Talks. Skifta is also the first DLNA-Certified app to stream personal content to millions of Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) and Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) devices, including TVs, IP-connected stereos, PlayStation 3 game consoles, Windows 7 PCs and thousands of other connected consumer electronics devices. No wires, downloading or side-loading is required. Consumers just tap on their favorite content, select a connected device and touch play.

Two additional “Little Monster” books will be available next spring through the FastPencil PREMIERE line. “Little Monster Fun and Learn Book” emphasizes early education and provides readers with learning fun in ABC’s, counting, enjoying bedtime and traveling through the neighborhood.

"The Social Network Diet" is now available for $12.95 - as well as in e-book format for $7.99 - at FastPencil (http://www.fpbks.com/social-network-diet) and at Barnes and Noble and other major bookstores as well as online retailers such as Amazon.
