			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://flip.me">Flip Media</a>, largest interactive media agency in the middle east launched just today the first movie seeker’s iPhone app.<br />
<a href="http://www.naviflix.com">Naviflix</a> was built to do one thing, and do it well: help movie buffs get to a movie they like as fast as possible. The app is now available on the iTunes App Store literally shows you what’s playing in theaters ‘near you’ utilizing iPhone’s location based technology to list movies in cinemas within proximity.</p>
<div id="attachment_50" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 166px"><a href="http://sadiq.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/naviflix-now-playing.png" rel="shadowbox[post-46];player=img;"><img src="http://sadiq.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/naviflix-now-playing-156x300.png" alt="Naviflix Now Palying Screen" title="Naviflix Now Palying Screen" width="156" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-50" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Naviflix Now Palying Screen</p></div>
<p>It comes with two tabs displaying, in alphabetical order, movies that are ‘Now Playing’, and ‘Cinemas’ allowing users to sift through their cinema of preference, or simply scroll through the long list of movies being showed (currently only in the UAE). Clicking on a listing will expand the view to display information specific to the movie including a trailer and snapshots from the movie itself.</p>
<div id="attachment_49" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 166px"><a href="http://sadiq.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/naviflix-showtimes.png" rel="shadowbox[post-46];player=img;"><img src="http://sadiq.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/naviflix-showtimes-156x300.png" alt="Naviflix Showtimes Screen" title="Naviflix Showtimes Screen" width="156" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-49" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Naviflix Showtimes Screen</p></div>
<p>The people from Flip Media haven’t forgotten their tweeple, <a href="http://www.naviflix.com">Naviflix</a> comes with built in social media support, allowing movie goers to share their experience on platforms such as Facebook and Twitter in order “to encourage users to engage in real time conversations” and “post films they are considering watching and get immediate feedback from friends.” said Imthiaz Rafique, Head of Flip’s Mobile Applications Development.</p>
<p> Application has an excellent web version too at <a href="http://www.naviflix.com">Naviflix</a> . <a href="http://www.naviflix.com">Naviflix</a> has its <a href="http://twitter.com">twitter</a> updates at <a href="http://twitter.com/naviflix">@naviflix</a> as well.</p>
<p>The service targets the mobile phone industry in the region, at this time only supporting the iPhone and a number of smart phones even promising support for the holy iPad during the months to come.<br />
“The UAE is the region’s second-largest film market, with over 200 cinema screens, and gross box office receipts of US$74 million.” stated Dinesh Lalvani, Managing Partner of Flip Media, ” Those figures, coupled with the fact that increasingly people are accessing information through smart phones, makes mobile apps a strategic touch point to reach consumers.”</p>
<p>According to its creators, the <a href="http://www.naviflix.com">Naviflix</a> app has been carefully designed to be able to integrate with any cinema’s mobile ticketing system giving it the future option to team up with cinemas throughout the region to let users buy tickets making it get you what you want, where you want without even having to stand in line.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dubai , With residents eagerly awaiting the launch of the Dubai Metro, Dubai&#8217;s biggest infrastructure project, Flip Media today unveiled <a href="http://www.mydubaimetro.com">Mydubaimetro.com</a>, a non profit portal designed and developed to provide residents of Dubai with a practical and usable guide to all things related to the Metro. </p>
<p>The one stop shop website offers key information and helpful tools such as a journey planner and fare calculator, information about each station stop as well as downloadable pocket maps. </p>
<p> “We saw a gap in the market where people, including ourselves, were curious and hungry for more information about the Metro,” said Yousef Tuqan Tuqan, CEO, <a href="http://www.flipcorp.com">Flip Media</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://sadiq.in/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/My-Dubai-Metro-The-unofficial-Dubai-Metro-community-resource-website.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-27];player=img;"><img src="http://sadiq.in/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/My-Dubai-Metro-The-unofficial-Dubai-Metro-community-resource-website.jpg" alt="My Dubai Metro | The unofficial Dubai Metro community resource website" title="My Dubai Metro | The unofficial Dubai Metro community resource website" width="860" height="502" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28" /></a></p>
<p>Dinesh Lalvani, Managing Partner of Flip added, &#8220;We’re bringing the best of web and technology to help people discover not only the basic information about the services available, but also help connect with fellow commuters. The idea is to make the metro not just about the destination but also about the journey and experience.” </p>
<p>The community portal gives users to post comments, blog and share photos and useful tips about the metro.  The website is scalable, allowing for the addition of new technology and tools. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Atlantis, luxurious project in the middle east with grand concepts and themes has been launched by throwing the region&#8217;s extravaganza party ever held.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We built something that&#8217;s quite extraordinary. We&#8217;ve got to tell the world about it,&#8221; said Sol Kerzner, the South African billionaire hotelier and casino tycoon.</p></blockquote>

<p>Video Courtesy: <a title="Telegraph" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk">Telegraph</a></p>
<p>The party has been witnessed by some 2000 celebirities and other global business giants to have a glimpse of the luxurious hotel in Dubai. The Aqua theme which is flourished by the marines is the centre of attraction of the hotel. The fireworks which was the extreme end of entertainment in the party with pyrotechnics highlighting the border across palm,10 times greater than what happened in Beijing&#8217;s Olympics,said to be can illuminate the shape of the palm when pictures taken from space. And the above video which shows the fireworks proved the statement .</p>
<p>And this raises one question in all mind.. &#8216; What happened to the economic crisis ? Dint it affected it? &#8216; , &#8216;you have to dream big to get a big result&#8217; this is the reply from the Casino tycoon. Keep Rocking &#8230;.!!!</p>
