The smart reader "News Republic" is already the best-rated news app on
Android and iPhone in Europe, and is now available worldwide, covering all
the hottest topics in the UK and the US. It is taking best advantage of the
proprietary TagNav(c) news sorting system that can create a personalized
stream of news tailored to the preferences of the individual reader.

Mobiles Republic CEO, Gilles Raymond, commented, "In a world of
information overload people want to receive timely and accurate information
on subjects that specifically interest them. News Republic does all of that
and addresses the natural need for users to have full and complete access to
information on the subjects they really like, instantly."

With the TagNav(c) system, you can delve deeper into the stories that are
most important to you by selecting highlighted keywords (e.g. "Barack Obama,"
"Los Angeles," or even "Charlie Sheen") to pull up a bevy of targeted
articles related to that keyword. Over time, News Republic learns what news
you read the most and will display the top articles based on your distinct
tastes.

Overall, News Republic aims to be the premiere news app for the smart and
savvy reader because it portrays the international, "big picture" perspective
of a story through its numerous, high quality sources, including the
Associated Press, Reuters, and Agence France-Presse, and much more.
