Drool, Britannia? Is the UK Failing the Cloud?
By Roger Strukhoff
Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

By: Marketwire .
Nov. 10, 2009 03:15 AM

MECHANICSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/10/09 -- Versatile Systems Inc. (TSX VENTURE: VV)(AIM: VVS), announces that the Company has developed a unique, highly interactive application for deployment on the Apple iPhone(TM) and iPod Touch(TM) for The Hershey Company.

The Hershey's® Syrup iPhone application provides a rich media experience that is engaging for the users while at the same time effectively reinforcing the image of Hershey's Syrup as America's #1 brand of chocolate syrup. "The creation of this application showcases Versatile's ideal combination of technology and marketing capabilities" said Bob Joyce, President Versatile Systems. "Versatile's long history of mobile expertise and enterprise software development combined with our expanded creative capacities positions Versatile to be in the forefront of the rapidly expanding social media mobile software market."

The application provides users an interactive experience on how to create, stir - and drink - a glass of Hershey's Chocolate Milk using Hershey's Syrup. Once the application is downloaded, a user will be able to interact with a bottle of Hershey's Syrup and a glass of milk to be able to create a glass of chocolate milk. The stirring and drinking process is fully animated and comes equipped with customized sounds that make drinking each glass of Hershey's chocolate milk unique and interesting to each and every user. A video that demonstrates the application can be viewed at:

The application provides an entertaining experience that uses many of the device's features including the touch screen, accelerometer and microphone. "Versatile understood our branding requirements, developed a storyboard to support those requirements and rapidly delivered a great app," said Scott Crowell, Director, Technology for The Hershey Company. "We know they deliver great enterprise expertise, but we were really excited by the depth of their creative capabilities."
