Avanquest UK, a leading provider of complete software publishing solutions, has announced the launch of a new range of software utilities for iPod users from its Mobility Division. The four new titles – iExtend™, WebPodStudio™, PodMediaCreator™ and DVD2Pod™ - will enhance and expand the iPod’s functionality in both business and entertainment.

Back up music, photos and files with iExtend™

With iExtend, PC users that are constantly on the move can review emails, notes, calendars and contacts as well as back up important digital files. iExtend from Memeo features SmartPicks™ that will automatically locate and back-up specific documents and file types for storage on the iPod. It keeps track of multiple file versions and immediately archives and restores these files once the iPod is reconnected to the computer.

Produce audio and video PodCasts with WebPodStudio™

Broadcasting ‘radio’ and ‘TV’ shows over the Internet has never been easier. WebPodStudio is a perfect solution for PC users who want to create quality PodCasts for business or home use without the technical know-how. Users simply plug in a microphone and camera and WebPodStudio will do the rest. Developed by Lionhardt Technologies, the easy-to-use program automatically detects all audio and video devices on the computer and the Studio Director Wizard offers a step-by-step tutorial of the PodCasting process. A built-in teleprompter ensures that users will know what to say and when to say it for a flawless broadcast. PodCast recordings can also be previewed and checked for quality before publishing to the Web.

WebPodStudio handles the entire publishing process and includes an integrated RSS support to create and maintain feeds, enabling subscribers to download the PodCast as soon as it’s available. WebPodStudio also supports iTunes RSS so users can browse and locate the PodCast feed from the iTunes music store. With its auto pinging feature, all the blognews/RSS index services are alerted each time a PodCast is uploaded. WebPodStudio is compatible with Apple’s new iPod Video 5G.

Compose and edit videos and MP3s with PodMediaCreator™

PodMediaCreator™ allows users to compose and edit videos, touch up photos, create slideshows and mix MP3s before transferring to the iPod. Containing three applications – Video Studio, Music Studio and Photo Studio - users can personalise and edit movie files; become a DJ by cutting, mixing and adding multiple effects to MP3 files to create mixes; edit and personalise images with photo-effects and create photo slideshows with text and music. Once complete, it will automatically transfer the new files to the iPod and update the iTunes library with a single click.

Enjoy movies on-the-go with DVD2Pod™

Copy DVD and import multiple movies onto an iPod with DVD2Pod™ to provide hours of entertainment wherever you go. DVD2Pod automatically knows the correct settings for your movies; once created, simply open it with iTunes and treat it like an audio file.

“Avanquest is proud to be partnering with leading software developers who are creating applications specifically for owners of the latest iPod devices,” said Sital Patel, Marketing Manager at Avanquest UK. “The iPod phenomenon has created a new market with a broad user base, so there is a growing need to develop and publish user-friendly software that enhances the capabilities of these popular devices. This range of iPod software answers that demand.”
