Accumulate UK Limited has a global licensing deal with Sony Ericsson for the use of its Flexion technology. It is the first handset manufacturer to preload mobile games with Flexion on its new handsets following the success of operators such as Hutchison 3G UK. Previously, preloaded games were considered a perk for users; now it is a necessity and part of any handset makeup. In the past, handset manufacturers paid publishers sizeable licence fees to preload full versions of the best games onto devices and Flexion turns this cost into a tangible revenue stream. In addition, preloaded games wrapped with Flexion technology promote similar games by the publishers, which encourage further trials that will eventually turn into new sales.

A new application instantly transforms your iPhone into a powerful magnifying glass for far less than the cost of a pair of glasses. The iMagnify application enlarges its target from 1x to 4x, at the choice of its user. The magnification is controlled by a convenient slide on the display, which can provide pinpoint precision or a range broad enough to sweep across the page of a book. iMagnify works equally well in dimly lit restaurants or on brightly lighted streets. It is ideal for quickly checking nutrition facts at the grocery store, reading the dosage on a medicine bottle, making certain that your receipt is accurate, glancing at a menu, browsing through the labels
on cosmetics, and the hundreds of other common instances when you need to read fine print, but only for a moment. Its appeal also extends to coin collectors, philatelists, and hobbyists of every stripe, who will appreciate the instant access to detail that iMagnify offers. iMagnify is available in the Apple App Store now and is demo'd on the application's website, www.imagnifyapplication.com.
