			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HipLogic, Inc. today announced that they will provide a way for operators and mobile handset OEMs to customize the standard Android user interface (UI).  HipLogic’s cloud-connected interface gives carriers, manufacturers and content providers a flexible system that promotes discovery of operator services all the way up to the home screen in an always-on and data-efficient manner.
</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We&#8217;re seeing an increased demand for a custom solution as the number of Android devices and offerings explode onto the market. HipLogic will empower operator networks and OEMs with the capability to create differentiated Android services and experiences&#8221; said Mark Anderson, CEO of HipLogic. </p></blockquote>
<p>
HipLogic&#8217;s Android interface makes it easy for users to customize and enjoy the content they love - integrating updates from social networks like Facebook and Twitter, real-time notifications from popular news, sports and weather content providers, plus access to a variety of gaming applications and branded mash-up experiences.
</p>
<blockquote><p>
&#8220;Our solution allows for over the air updates to content services and the cloud connected interface, even after the product is in consumer’s hands, making the experience unique and dynamic,&#8221; adds HipLogic Founder and CTO, Mark Young. </p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="javascript:void(0);/*1243013594756*/">Skyhook Wireless</a>, a stage 1 ventures portfolio company, announced today that Loki, a geolocation plug-in for web developers and end users, has been integrated into three popular Web applications - Mapquest, Flickr and Weatherbug.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>&quot;Loki integration shows how location can be added to the browser to help people very easily access useful local info like driving directions,&quot; said Kate Imbach, Skyhook&#8217;s director of marketing, in an e-mail, referring to MapQuest&#8217;s use of Loki. MapQuest&#8217;s Christian Dwyer added that drivers using MapQuest can simply type in to obtain quick access to driving directions.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The phenomenon of location-aware apps has exploded in recent months and weeks. Skyhook, which maintains a database of more than 100 million Wi-Fi access points, reported this week that Apple&#8217;s iPhone App Store alone has more than 2,300 location-based applications. The applications range far and wide, covering everything from social networking to navigation help.</p>
