<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;"><br />
<strong>Phoenix, Arizona &#8211; April 2, 2009 -</strong> TechPad Productions, a social media research and online publication company, announced today that its first game, <a href="http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=30345814&amp;msgid=387114&amp;act=LMMV&amp;c=275324&amp;admin=0&amp;destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.inetmaniagame.com%2F" target="_blank"><em><strong>iNetMania</strong></em></a>, is now ready for download for the Apple® iPhone™ and iPod® touch! It is available for a limited-time promotional price of $2.99 USD (regularly $4.99) from the Apple App Store and can be found at <a href="http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=30345814&amp;msgid=387114&amp;act=LMMV&amp;c=275324&amp;admin=0&amp;destination=http%3A%2F%2Fitunes.inetmaniagame.com%2F" target="_blank">http://itunes.inetmaniagame.com/</a>.</span></p>
<p><em><strong>iNetMania</strong></em> is based upon TechPad&#8217;s popular board game, ServerMania, which features players competing to build a successful web hosting company and finish with the most money at the end of the game. <em><strong>iNetMania</strong></em> uses a similar format and rule set as the award-winning board game, but instead of a web hosting company, your goal is to create a successful website!</p>
<p>In <em><strong>iNetMania</strong></em>, you compete with up to three other players (either in hot-seat mode with human controlled opponents or an intelligent computer-controlled AI) all the way from the start-up phase to the finish line, with plenty of highs and lows (or &#8220;Spikes&#8221; and &#8220;Slumps&#8221;) along the way. Increase your web traffic with savvy rolling, lucky card draws and strategy, as more visitors translate into more money – the player with the largest pile of cash at the end of the game wins!</p>
<p><em><strong>iNetMania</strong></em> has loads of great features, including:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;">Great graphics with dynamic, fluid, openGL animations</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;">A quick-play option that allows you to get into the game quickly and easily</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;">Easy to understand rules and a low learning curves ensures that anyone can get in on the fun</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;">The ability to create up to 30 profiles to keep track of your progress and prowess</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;">Gameplay achievements (similar to Xbox 360 Achievements) that set gameplay goals, allow you to track your prowess against your friends and lead to unlockable content, including new game pieces!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;">Auto-save gameplay (if you quit or have to take a call)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;">An Accelerometer-based, 3D dice cup to roll the die – a first for the iPhone!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;">Swap n&#8217; Play™ with up to three other AI or human-controlled players</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;"><br />
<em><strong>iNetMania</strong></em> is the internet entrepreneur <a href="http://www.inetmaniagame.com" target="_blank">iPhone Game</a> experience that allows you to grow your own website company from the ground up using lifelike scenarios.

<h4 class="title">TechPad Productions to Launch iNetManiaâ€“ Coming Soon to an AppleÂ® App Store Near You!</h4>
<p>Digital evolution of ServerMania for iPhoneâ„¢ and iPodÂ® touch<strong>Phoenix, Arizonaâ€“ December 3, 2008</strong>â€“ TechPad Productions, a social media research and online publication company, will launch its first game, iNetMania, scheduled to be ready for download from the Apple App Store in early December 2008.</p>
<p>A release date and pricing information will be announced in the coming weeks. iNetMania is based upon TechPadâ€™s popular board game, ServerMania, which features players competing to build a successful web hosting company and finish with the most money at the end of the game.</p>
<p>First introduced in 2007, ServerMania has been used by many web hosting companies as an interactive learning tool, and has been recognized by the International Academy of the Visual Arts with a Gold Davey Award as one of the best and most innovative promotional pieces within theâ€œPrint and Collateralâ€ category.</p>
<p>iNetMania is based heavily upon ServerManiaâ€™s format and rules, with players competing to create the most successful website with the highest amount of visitors. Web traffic translates into money, and as with ServerMania, the player with the largest pile of cash at the end of the game wins.</p>
<p>â€œWe were very excited about the success we enjoyed with ServerMania, and canâ€™t wait to repeat that with iNetMania,â€ said Ben Fisher, co-founder of TechPad Productions.â€œiNetMania has all of the great gameplay mechanics that made ServerMania such a popular game, and it takes full advantage of the amazing technology inside the iPhone and iPod touch.â€</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you attended HostingCon last year you may have wandered over to TechPad Agency&#8217;s booth and gotten your hands on the hottest board game in the web hosting industry, ServerMania!<br />
This year, TechPad Agency, in conjunction with HostingCon is holding a ServerMania Charity Tournament. The festivities will be held, under the tents, during the rooftop barbecue on Wednesday at 5:30 PM. The rooftop barbecue is an event held by Chain Reaction Ecommerce and will be the host of the TechPad ServerMania Charity Tournament.</p>
