PRESS RELEASE: Introducing, LEI Mobile

September 21st, 2009 by Alan Vazquez · 5 Comments

UPDATE 1: LEI Mobile will also be in ipa format for easy syncing in iTunes. (This is still for jailbroken users only)

UPDATE 2: We are working double time to bring LEI Mobile to the iTunes App Store around our official launch date of October 1st. Stay tuned…

Well, hello everyone. I am glad that you have joined us today on this very special day. Well, it was about a month ago that I announced LEI (For Dashboard), and we were really happy with the amount of downloads and excellent feedback. This just further solidified our belief that software is the next step twards Limited Edition iPhone’s future.

So, after 6 months of planning, I teamed up with one of you guys, Truehybridx. Now, he and I have been working non-stop to bring you Limited Edition iPhone’s, first ever, iPhone/iPod touch application!

Yes everyone, its true, we have been working on an iPhone OS application for the past month, and today I am announcing our latest and greatest creation, LEI Mobile.

Well, why is LEI Mobile so cool? The simple answer: It’s everything you’ll ever need for iPhone/Apple news. Its also everything Limited Edition iPhone related!

So, as you see, we have 5 buttons on the bottom. The first tab is where the LimitedEditioniPhone.com you all know and love will be. Its the new LEI (For MobileSafari) right in the new LEI Mobile iPhone app.

The second tab is our official Twitter page, optimized for your iPhone.

Third and fourth tabs are our personal Twitter accounts. Mike and I will be posting our thoughts about things in our lives, so if you are interested, its right there, built-into LEI Mobile.

The final tab is called “Extras”. Now, in Extras, you will find the things that we just didn’t have room for in LEI Mobile. You can find a button to visit our “LEI (For Dashboard)” page, where we will have the latest and greatest version of LEI (For Dashboard).

Second button will lead you to our Official YouTube channel. Now, the reason that we didn’t include this into the main tab bar of LEI Mobile was due to design. I did not feel that I could add an additional tab bar item and have it look as good as it does now. If I do find a way to make LEI Mobile look just as well, and add YouTube support, then I will.

You may also, contact either Mike or I via the two buttons that we have included, and integrated into LEI Mobile. If you tap these buttons, you will be taken to a Mail compose window with either Mike or my e-mail address (and subject) already typed up and ready to go.

Well, there are also a few things under-the-hood that will make LEI Mobile even better. I really want to focus on a major feature. It has caching! It caches the big parts of the webpages in LEI Mobile so that after the second time that you load LEI Mobile, everything will load much much faster.

The more you use LEI Mobile, the faster it will be due to this caching feature.

Well, that’s LEI Mobile version 1.0! I really hope you are as excited as I am telling you about this.

So, how are we going to make this available, and what are we going to price this at?

Well, lets start off on pricing. LEI Mobile just does so much, and is so useful. It can bring you all Apple related news and among other things, and it is actively going to be developed thus adding more and more features as time goes by.

So again, what are we going to price this at? Well, LEI Mobile will be absolutely free! We are giving LEI Mobile to you all for free!

There are also no additional annoying ADs in LEI Mobile!

So when is it going to be available? Well, I have chosen to launch this on October 1, 2009! It will be available as a free download via Cydia. We have chosen BigBoss as our distributing method, for the time being.

We hope to bring LEI Mobile to the iTunes App Store soon after that as well.

Well, LEI Mobile requires iPhone OS 2.2.1 and newer. I have optimized LEI Mobile for iPhone OS 3.0/3.0.1 and 3.1 however.

Also, for now, it will require you to be jailbroken as well. It will be available on Cydia, and on the BigBoss repository, so just refresh Cydia on October 1, 2009, and you will be able to download LEI Mobile without adding any new sources.

Well, that’s what we have in store for you all. I would like to give a special thank you to Truehybridx for standing up and teaming up with me to bring you this great app!

I would also like to thank my 5 “trustees” for helping to test LEI Mobile through the beta periods. I will be sending you LEI Mobile 1.0 GM soon.

So I will see you all back here on October 1, 2009 and hope that you will all download LEI Mobile, because we have been working non-stop to bring this to you guys.

So mark your calendars, because 10/01/09 is going to be a big day for us!

Thanks again for checking us out! Today is an important day for us, as this is our second entry into the software world, and believe me, this won’t be our last entry into the iPhone OS software market. We have some very cool things planned for everyone!

Thank you.

- Alan Vazquez
