We are very excited to announce that the second version of our Preston & Steve iPhone Soundboard is available now for download in the iPhone App Store! The newest version has some extremely cool new features that we know Preston & Steve fans are sure to enjoy. New features include:

• 9 new sounds including Pierre’s Noodling, “All I did was get out of the shower!”, “Hey Bitches, Hey What!”, “Monkey Pick Ass!” and more.
• A brand new look – a new background image to match WMMR’s new look, new buttons which can be pressed down.
• A “Stop” button to stop sounds from playing
• Bug fixes and improved stability.

We were not sure if this update would be approved, due to some of the questionable sounds (e.g. “Monkey Feces Throw, Monkey Pick Ass” and “Hey Bitches, Hey What”. But we were pleasantly surprised when we found out yesterday that our update had been approved! This does not mean we are sitting back and resting at all. More sounds will continue to be added and we are also working on another WMMR/Preston & Steve related application.

Stay tuned!

Recently we released an update to our immensely popular Drum FX Pro iPhone application. It added more sounds, including a COWBELL, and it increased stability. Christopher Walken and Blue Oyster Cult would definitely approve of this app.

This recent update has spurred sales quite a bit and now our lovely application is back on the top 100 on many country’s paid music charts. At the time of writing this we are:

• #100 on Canada’s music store
• #63 on US’s music store
• #49 on UK’s music store

ANDDDDDD

• #39 on Australia’s music store

Turns out Australia loves us!

Thanks again for everyone’s support! If you haven’t already, you can download Drum FX Pro version 2.1 here:

It’s been a little while since we last updated everyone on what’s been going on in the Alkali Media world. We’ve been working on a few new iPhone apps, and we still have a few in for approval. We had a pair of applications rejected again for the whole offensive content thing… However, we were waiting for what looked like some promise with the iPhone OS 3.0 update, and yesterday we saw some light at the end of the tunnel with the announcement of Parental Controls integrated into the software, as well as a rating system for all App Store Applications at Apple’s annual WWDC. With that, the apps are in for approval again!

We’ve got a few other things in the works right now, so hopefully we’ll be getting multiple applications into the store in the very near future. For now, don’t forget to check out PrudeBox, now apparently world famous for its flamboyant facelift.

Thanks for your continued support, and we’ll be updating you as soon as we have some more news.

Peace!
Chris, Pat & Mike

Firstly, our core project is moving along ahead of schedule. Our team is unified and we all understand what needs to be done.

Also, we have decided to add another application to the current work flow. We feel that this application will allow us to fully understand the Application Store process including: the length of time an application will take to be approved, how to create a proper description and market our application, and the opportunity to observe logistic advantages, weaknesses and opportunities. Also, this will allow us to test, troubleshoot and debug an application.

Chris has created very impressive comps for both projects which now only need the expertise of our programmer, Alex, to continue on their way to beta-ville.

Our current tasks include (without revealing our hand):

• Adding functionality to our core project
• Assemble the other elements of the secondary application so Alex can begin to make it functional
• Market research
• Business plan
• Administrative tasks
