RFPs RFQs and other documents can be accessed easily on the site.

iOS 5 brings a much needed shortcut
As apple prepares to release iOS 5 they have added a new feature which was missing in 3 and 4… Instant camera access when the phone is locked! Let’s say you are walking down the road and you see something you need a picture of right away.. In old days (or present day for non beta users) you pull out the phone, hit the home button, slide to unlock, type in your 4 number pin and fumble to find the camera app, open it, wait for it to load and then take the picture. Now with iOS 5 all you need to do is pull the phone out and double click the home button and a new camera icon appears next to the slide to unlock slider! Press it and it loads the camera with no access to your library (for security of your pictures) so it loads very quickly! You can the take your picture as normal by pressing the screen or use the new feature of pressing the volume button.

Coconut Grove, FL Jan 31 2011 – For immediate release
Advansis Media LLC released the iPhone App, now available on the iTunes store for Free. The Coconut Grove Arts Festival (CGAF) organizing committee asked Advansis to develop a mobile app for the CGAF’s annual event in February.
The App is actually a shell for the mobile friendly site, which also works with Android phones. Statistics on the site showed that after Windows and Mac computers iOS based devices were the largest volume of visitors to the cgaf.com site, so we decided to develop an iOS app. The 4th most used operating system is Android, so we coded it to work on android as well.
The iOS app can be downloaded from iTunes
The mobile site can be accessed from iOS or Android at http://www.cgaf.com/m

Traditional Miamians know of Coconut Grove. Tourists know of Coconut Grove. Hollywood stars know of Coconut Grove. Do you?
Coconut Grove is a part of Miami- once it’s own city, it was absorbed by the city of Miami in the mid1920′s. Miami’s City Hall is located in the building that once used to be the PanAm water plane terminal and was beautifully restored maintaining the historical details of the building– in, you guessed it, Coconut Grove! Once home to the Queen of Pop(Madonna), Rambo(Stallone), the creator of plastic, the place where the King of Pop(Michael Jackson) recorded part of his “Thriller” video, the place where Jim Morrison infamously exposed himself ‘indecently’ and was consequently arrested, The Grove, as it is know to locals, has always had it’s artsy flair. Besides the signature annual Coconut Grove Arts Festival, the Grove hosts many a road parade every year. With the birth of the Design District and Miami’s second generation of galleries and trendy retro-cool locales, the Grove is slowly recovering under a new guise… Grove 2.0! Places that were once occupied by restaurants and trendy stores that people used to wait in line to get into, have now reincarnated from empty shells to host world class ad agencies such as Crispin Porter Bogusky and Marca Hispanic, as well as the likes of Sony Music and several new media/Internet agencies such as Advansis Media, 39 Design, and Infinimedia among others. Also several local and global architecture firms have picked this quaint little part of Miami to be their office location of choice. The Grove Spot, a tranquil little restaurant/bar off Virginia st. Has become one of the locations of choice to host Refresh Miami; a meetup group created by Brian Breslin of Infinimedia which allows all sorts of technology junkies to meet up and talk shop or watch presentations about technology.
So, even if Miami has created new areas dedicated to Art in the traditional sense, the Grove has retained it’s capacity to attract artists; digital artists, architectural artists, and the artists that create 30 second clips that everyone sees when they are watching their favorite TV show or while flipping through a magazine…
Apple today released the Magic TrackPad, basically a standalone version of it’s revolutionary multi-touch trackpads from the Macbook Pro line of computers. This allows mac desktop users as well as older macbook and macbook pro users to have the ability to use multitouch to control their computers. The only issue, it’s Mac only (for now at least).
Also released is a new kind of battery charger which comes with 6 rechargeable batteries- let’s call it a new “smart charger” because it detects when the batteries are charged and essentially turns itself off to reduce power waste. Designed to be used with keyboards and mice etc, the batteries have an estimated 10 yr lifespan, so the ROI should be relatively obvious, as I dont think most electronics will even last that long
