LONDON, October 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Qubeey, an innovative social platform designed to work without traditional web

of its software, bringing significant user interface improvements
and the arrival of a number of high-profile celebrity accounts.
The software allows users to create streams of their favourite content, much like
social start-up Pinterest, although these streams can be accessed directly by friends
without the use of web browsers. The software creates a direct link between participating
devices, allowing users to access content on demand and send personal, interactive
messages to friends and followers.
The new version brings real-time action notifications and alerts, giving followers
up-to-date information on the personal or business activities of those in their network.
According to CEO Rocky Wright, the software lets you "access anyone and any activity
within your social or business sites, without checking email or accessing individual
websites."
ViaSat, a worldwide manufacturer of secure network communications equipment, has
revealed its new VMT-1220P portable broadband terminal

, giving
participating military organisations access to advanced mobile Internet technology in the
field.
The device facilitates a secure 3G mobile connection to ViaSat's worldwide mobile
network, giving soldiers and vehicles in the field the ability to connect and stream
high-quality video, receive real-time updates and communicate instantly with mission
control. Users will also benefit from the ability to make secure and encrypted phone calls
using the device, which is said to be extremely lightweight and durable in order to
withstand the harshest combat conditions. Speaking after the launch, ViaSat Vice President
Larry Taylor added that the new system is "unique: packaging and performance that is ready
to go on a worldwide broadband network."
NQ Mobile, a company specialising in mobile Internet security, has seen its NQ Mobile
Security app

named in the
top 20 apps at the prestigious "Global Mobile Internet Conference AppAttack Awards".
The application, which has also been named as one of the top 100 Android apps of 2012,
is ideal for security-conscious mobile users, as it is able to detect and destroy mobile
viruses whilst also acting as a firewall against any new threats. The innovative app made
it into the top 100, before a delegation of app experts awarded it a top 20 place in front
of a 5,000-strong audience. CPO Gavin Kim was delighted with the award, stating that the
company is "honoured" to be chosen.
