Since the mobile launch on Apple’s iTunes store in April, Kitchen Carnage has juiced up more than 10 million game sessions and over 60 years of time spent in the app.  After taking home the top prize in the August 2011 AppMadness tournament, the developers turned their attention to the strong demand coming from the Annoying Orange fans with Android devices.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Identifying and evaluating the best opportunities for career development can be challenging for emergency physicians. Given a lack of available tools to assist these providers, and the increasingly widespread use of personal mobile technologies such as Apple’s iPad, TeamHealth has developed a free, electronic career library app to help emergency medicine physicians develop and advance their careers.

The TeamHealth career library app, developed by Dallas-based Bottle Rocket Apps, was designed to give providers insight and information they need for making important decisions about their careers. Available as a free download through Apple’s App Store, the library includes a directory of all of TeamHealth’s job openings across the country, as well functionality for exploring specific geographic locations with information on everything from local schools to available real estate. In addition, its extensive collection of emergency medicine articles provides updates on the latest news in the field and outlines proven tips and strategies for everything from improving listening skills to developing a professional presence online.

“We recognize what goes into making a career decision goes far beyond a postcard about a hospital,” said Dr. Sujal Mandavia, physician project manager for the development of the app. “Given that roughly 30 percent of physicians already use an iPad and another 28 percent are likely to buy one by the end of the year(i), we decided this electronic library was the best and fastest way to help residents and those already practicing make the best decision concerning their career. We chose Bottle Rocket Apps, an industry leader in mobile development, as our development partner to ensure emergency physicians get the best experience the iPad has to offer.”

TeamHealth will be introducing the electronic career library app at the 2011 American College of Emergency Physicians Scientific Assembly in San Francisco on Oct. 15-18. For more information visit www.MYEMCAREER.com , or to get started now on discovering the newest TeamHealth career opportunities and other helpful emergency medicine news and information, download the free career library app by visiting http://www.myemergencymedicinecareer.com/iPad.

Science360, developed by Bottle Rocket Apps and published by the National Science Foundation, is a beautifully crafted (and unbelievably FREE!) iPad app designed to make the user feel as though they are peering out from “inside a spinning globe” of information.  Targeted toward audiences of any age, this app will undoubtedly become a favorite of the science geek in all of us.

With an app mission statement of “awakening the science geek in everyone by giving them a glimpse of the future now,” Science360 will show the world that science is entertaining, fun and worth sharing with others.  The goal of the app is to present the National Science Foundation‘s content in a manner that is interesting for anyone, whether or not they have a direct interest in science.

“Where Discoveries Begin” is the tagline for the National Science Foundation. Their goal is to keep the United States at the leading edge of discovery from astronomy to geology to zoology.

The app uses stunning photography and breathtaking images to make a big impact and encourage exploration.  The app was designed with the goal of expanding NSF’s content to a much broader audience.  Most of NSF.gov’s visitors are currently either hardcore science aficionados or scientific professionals in a variety of fields exploring grant opportunities.  The Science360 app will present NSF’s amazing information in a more approachable and entertaining manner, introducing NSF to a completely new audience.

Science360 is perfect for both active learning and actively whiling away an afternoon.  Users could spend hours surfing through the awesome globe of content with no real goal in mind.  Or, fire up the app, and using the tags featured, find a category and discover a specific topic to explore. Teachers could use the app to demonstrate science subjects on a large monitor or TV through the iPad Apple Digital AV Adapter, available now, or via third party app connection capabilities of AirPlay to an AppleTV using iOS 5.0 available this Fall.

Low-vision users will be happy to hear that Bottle Rocket worked especially hard to design the app to take full advantage of Apple’s accessibility API’s available in the iOS SDK. Low-vision and blind users can enjoy the full use of iPad gestures to explore videos and hear the full text descriptions read to them aloud. The app even automatically increases font sizes for low-vision users when in accessibility mode. This the first of several apps developed by Bottle Rocket to make better use of the excellent accessibility features built into Apple’s iPhone and iPad operating systems.

Again, Science360 is free giving users access to NSF’s giant library of content for hours of enlightenment, education and entertainment.
