Metago Announces Release of Cloud-based ASTRO Backup for Android Devices for Public Beta

Las Vegas, NV / Marietta, GA (PRWEB) January 10, 2012

Metago Inc., the leading productivity application vendor for Android mobile devices, today announced the public beta release of ASTRO Backup, the easiest way to store and synchronize all phone and tablet files to the cloud or multiple Android devices as well as the ASTRO Cloud Trash Can for securely storing deleted files.

ASTRO Backup is simply the easiest way for any Android user to store their mobile content to the cloud, said Kevin Payne, chief executive officer at Metago. There are a lot of services for backing up and syncing to the cloud. However, we are focused solely on users of Android devices and since our 25 million users are already using ASTRO to organize and manage their files, we are giving them the easiest way to store them in the cloud without having to open or connect to other applications.

ASTRO File Manager is by far the most popular file management application for Android with over 21 million downloads on the Marketplace alone. It is similar to using Windows Explorer on a PC to manage files. And now, when the ASTRO Backup service is activated in the file manager, its as easy as choosing a file and pressing Backup or Delete and files are stored in a users personal cloud space.

Why force users to integrate with another service or open another app to back up files when they are already in the best file manager; that is not a great user experience, said Kent Krueger, vice president of sales, marketing and customer experience at Metago. We have always planned on building ASTRO Backup, and our Cloud Trash Can is unique to the market. No other provider can make it so easy to store files in the cloud and give you the peace of mind knowing that every file you delete is still stored in the cloud in case you need it again.

ASTRO makes it easy to restore files with a one-click restore option from storage or the trash can in the cloud. Permanently delete files from the Cloud Trash Can anytime. Users can sign up for a free account at http://www.metago.net/astro-backup.php.

This is just the beta release of ASTRO Backup, it is not the final product nor is it the final ‘offer’ to our users, continues Payne. Over the coming months there will be many functional enhancements that we believe will create higher demand, usage and value for our Android users.

Dr. Hopes New eBook Release Helps Fight Child Abuse

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) January 10, 2012

Laughing Day/El Dia para Reir is an award-winning childrens storybook written in both English and Spanish. The book not only teaches children the joy in helping others but now gives them the access they might need to call for help should they or a friend suffer from child abuse.

At a Childhelp meeting this question was asked: What else can be done to help children that are being abused? The answer was simple: Somehow get our 1-800-4-A-CHILD hotline phone number down to the childs level, so they can have access to it themselves. Dr. Hope has done just that.

Childhelp is one of the largest and oldest national, non-profit organizations dedicated to the treatment, prevention and research of child abuse and neglect. Founders, Sara OMeara and Yvonne Fedderson have tirelessly worked for over 50 years to eradicate child abuse/neglect and have been nominated four years in a row (including this year) for the Nobel Peace prize.

Childhelp has many programs in place to help abused children. One of them is an anonymous national toll free hotline, 1-800-4-A-CHILD, that can be called if you suspect a child is being abused or neglected. Trained operators will send help and/or tell you what you should do to get immediate assistance. (http://www.childhelp.org)

Dr. Hope has dedicated a page in tens of thousands of childrens print storybooks designed to give children access to the help that they may need in the event that they or someone they know are suffering from child abuse. Now with the release of Laughing Day/El Dia para Reir in eBook format he has done so again. The eBook is now available at Smashwords.com in all eBook formats. Later this month it will be available directly from Barnes and Noble for the Nook and at the Apple store for the iPad and on Amazon.com for the Kindle.

In an entertaining way Dr. Hope, through his “Life Lessons” series of childrens books, inspires children to believe in themselves, teaches them the joy in helping others, the love of laughter, to always try their best and the benefits of living in the present moment. Not only will children be entertained with his storybooks but they also will have access to a phone number in case they need help or they need to help another child.

Even if this helps only one child from an abusive or neglectful situation, it will be well worth it. said Dr Hope.

About Tim Dr. Hope Anders: Dr. Hope is an award-winning childrens book author who also writes books for grownups. He also is a recipient of the FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD AWARD from Childhelp. For more information about him go to http://www.DrHope.com.
