Houston-Based ThinAir Wireless Widens Family Safety Net by Expanding Into Android Market

Posted on: Wednesday, 14 October 2009, 16:35 CDT

HOUSTON, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- The P.O.M. (Peace of Mind) Offender Locator iPhone Application has been downloaded more than a million times by concerned parents and individuals seeking awareness for their families' well-being. The convenient tool quickly became a top seller in the iTunes App Store and soon after, was named Best iPhone App of 2009 by Michael Garfield, "The High-Tech Texan®." Its makers have now decided to move into the Android market as well.

The P.O.M. Offender Locator Android Application is one of many Peace of Mind products by Vision 20/20 (a division of ThinAir Wireless) . Users can perform searches based on current location (via GPS) and can also manually type in an address to generate a list of registered sex offenders living nearby, complete with headshots, dates of birth, addresses and even lists of offenses.

"We feel strongly about delivering solutions to families that meet their needs of portability, which is why we've decided to make the Offender Locator App available to Google smart phone users as well," said Trip Wakefield, CEO of ThinAir Wireless. "Sex offender data is public information and we've made it more readily accessible to parents through numerous platforms, iPhone, BlackBerry and now, Android."

Vision 20/20's Peace of Mind products were designed with family safety in mind. According to Wakefield, "Halloween is an occasion for added safety concerns. Fortunately, we have a number of products and applications to address parent's uneasiness, which can help them to make better decisions."

The following Peace of Mind products by Vision 20/20 are valuable tools for family safety and can be used this Halloween, and year-round:

• P.O.M. Offender Locator Application - available in a variety of useful applications including iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Facebook and online at locator.govision2020.com.
• P.O.M. Guardian - used most often to track high-risk individuals such as teenage drivers, Alzheimers wanderers and Autistic children. You can also attach a P.O.M. Guardian to your child's belt for those "what if?" moments.
• P.O.M. Alerts - Vision 20/20 collects information from numerous national alert centers, notifying you of dangerous weather, FEMA alerts, Homeland Security alerts or whatever situations matter most to you. P.O.M. can also be linked to the P.O.M. Offender Locator to alert you when a registered sex offender moves into your neighborhood.
