With no fireworks or fanfare -–
not even a press release -– the Guide iPad app was released on Monday. By
Wednesday afternoon it had hit No. 1 in the U.S. in the news category, says founder and CEO
Freddie Laker.
Led by Laker and COO Leslie
Bradshaw, Miami-based Guide turns your favorite online news, blogs and social
streams into video, using cutting edge avatar and text-to-speech technologies. The first release of the app contains more than 800 content
sources and offers a choice of seven virtual news anchors. “We'll be announcing
some very special and exciting content and character licensing deals in the
near future, too,” Laker said in a short note to supporters.
On
Wednesday afternoon, the app was also hovering around 80th overall in the huge free category. Visit this link to download the app: http://gui.de/ipad-app-download
