Knight Rider Voice Download Turns Your Garmin nuvi GPS Into KITT, Black TransAm Not Included

Original Voice Actor, William Daniels, Reprises Iconic 80's TV Role at NavTones.com for Downloadable GPS Voice Directions
LOS ANGELES, July 8 /PRNewswire/ -- In 1982, Knight Rider stormed on to American television with Michael Knight and his talking vehicular sidekick, the Knight Industries Two Thousand, or 'KITT.' - if you prefer. NavTones™, the leading independent provider of celebrity and branded voices for GPS navigation systems, announces today the release of their exclusive KITT GPS Voice for Garmin nuvi portable navigation devices and the new Android-powered Garminfone from T-Mobile USA. As an officially-licensed Knight Rider™ product from Universal Partnerships & Licensing on behalf of NBC Universal Television Consumer Products Group, NavTones brings the legendary voice actor from the original television series, William Daniels, to reprise his role as the world's most popular TV car of all time and to give turn-by-turn directions some real personality.

"With our KITT Voice for Garmin GPS, we want to make millions of 1980's childhood dreams come true," says Will Andre, CEO of Wanderlust Media, adding, "so we strove to replicate the envied relationship between human and machine made famous on Knight Rider, by randomizing the commentary coming out of the device to create a much more lifelike and dynamic driving experience." In typical KITT fashion, many lines are delivered with a humorous punch such as, "If you're not going to listen to me, just turn me off" in the event of a route recalculation.

"Knight Rider continues to be one of our most beloved retro properties and the KITT GPS Voice is proof that consumers can't get enough of it," said Calvin Lim, Director of Mobile Sales, Universal Partnerships & Licensing. "Having KITT virtually navigate you around town allows you to feel like Michael Knight every time you step in the car - minus the turbo boosts and oil slicks, of course."

PERSONALIZATION

For the first time ever, this is a GPS voice download that calls drivers (or passengers) by name. Just as he did with Michael Knight in every episode of Knight Rider, KITT will address drivers by name throughout their ride to put them in the heart of the action on every trip. Instead of being limited to 'Michael', however, users can select from more than 700 names.

RANDOMIZATION

Randomized KITT commentary incorporates technology developed by Garmin and provides nonstop fun for everyone in the car. Once installed, drivers are treated not only to turn-by-turn directions in the voice of KITT, but also to exclusive randomized commentary to make even the shortest of trips fun and entertaining.

INSTANT DOWNLOAD

The KITT voice download is just US$9.95 at www.NavTones.com/KITT and installs directly on to any compatible Garmin nuvi device worldwide in just a few simple clicks. For a complete list of compatible devices, please check our website.

A new, premium sex app for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch may seem like just another attempt to monetize sexual curiosity, but beneath the blunt title lies plenty of scientific backing. "SexyTime Sex Position Guide and Choreographer," by Arlington, Virginia based Calvert Strategies, has been on the market one month and has already been banned in China, even after overcoming complicated negotiations with Apple Inc. Apparently, not everyone fully appreciates the science of sex.
The company's mission is simple, yet ambitious: to improve health and wellness through better sex. "Easier said than done," says R. C. Kuhn, Calvert Strategies president and project "Chief Mad Scientist." "Few adult-themed products improve overall health because consumers are enticed primarily by flashy marketing, not quality. Most products reinforce behaviors in isolation of partners, or worse, are just scams, even in iTunes. Ironically, the people that most need sex coaching are least likely to seek help." But thanks to low-cost apps on phones worldwide, there's now a powerful platform for scientists to lend sound, healthy advice to virtually anyone, anywhere. "We're hoping we've designed something enticing, but also educational," adds Kuhn. "The brain is the most important sex organ. We want people enjoying exciting, rewarding lovemaking, and simultaneously becoming smarter about sex. Better, more frequent sex means healthier minds and bodies."
The SexyTime Choreographer is actually four high quality apps in one, offering more features than are available in several leading iPhone sex apps combined. It uses 3D figures to illustrate sexual positions like in the Kama Sutra, adding practical advice on improving execution. Users can even "Sext" positions to partners. But the designers really excelled at creating the interactive "Randomizer" and "Choreographer" utilities, which are easy to use, but powerful in execution. As described on www.SexyTimeApp.com, these features allow couples to generate randomized playlists of sexual positions, calling audibles in (selected) sexy voices to instruct couples when and how to switch positions. There's several innovative quick-launch features like the "Hit List" and "Run the Gauntlet" for beginners or more energetic lovers. For choosy partners, the Choreographer is a user-specified, sexual playlist generator, also providing bedside sex coaching. The app also offers sex advice gleaned from diverse scientific literature and best practices from happy couples. "Science offers great practical value to sex," suggests Kuhn. All this and it's only Version 1.
Despite markets inundated with adult content, these entrepreneurs educated in a variety of scientific disciplines strive to "bring science to the bedroom" to overcome the natural awkwardness of suggesting new ideas and techniques to partners. But the well-intentioned proof of concept still met enormous challenges from Apple's review team, precisely while Apple publicly shunned sex apps. And though still banned in China, Calvert Strategies hopes science will eventually overcome. SexyTime sold in 26 countries within four weeks, garnering rave reviews from Thrillist.com, and an "Editor's Choice" review from AppCraver.com.
With significant upgrades on the way, Calvert Strategies is silent on new developments promising unique, innovative features to help lovers, but haven't lost sight of their original goal – educating and improving quality of life. "When done safely, sex is one of the healthiest and accessible human activities, though the subject remains unfortunately taboo," Kuhn concludes. "We're looking forward to offering products for more lifestyles, in addition to iPad/HD, Droid and multilingual versions. Apps are inexpensive compared to their enormous benefits. Imagine a world full of well sexed, healthier, happier humans. We should all want to live in that world."

I second Instapaper. The paid version is worth the money, although the free version is no slouch. THINGS is my favorite to-do list. Really helps organize myself. Expensive - $9.95 - but not wasted money.
