Pedlar Lady is Australia's iPad App of the Week
September 22, 2010 in Books
[prMac.com] Vancouver (BC) Canada - The Pedlar Lady of Gushing Cross, the innovative and exciting 3D Animated Storybook App produced by Canadian company Moving Tales Inc., was named iPad "App of the Week" in Australia's iTunes Store and "New and Noteworthy" in the U.K., propelling The Pedlar Lady to the #1 ranking for Top Paid iPad Book Apps in both countries.
The first of Moving Tales' Classic World Tales series, The Pedlar Lady is inspired by the age-old tale of a man who becomes rich through a dream. It describes the journey of a poor pedlar woman who, guided by the shifting line between the real and the unreal, discovers a surprising and wonderful treasure.
The Pedlar Lady features film-caliber, sophisticated 3D animation and text, original music and evocative filmic sound effects. The App's dynamic typographic layouts can be animated using the iPad's accelerometer, incorporate randomly selected alternate perspectives to ensure no two viewings are alike, use Cover Flow-like navigation and include compelling, poetic voice-over narratives and text in both Spanish and English.
Premiering on July 25, 2010, The Pedlar Lady was named "App of the Week" in August in numerous iTunes stores worldwide, including in the U.S. and Canada. The Pedlar Lady will be available imminently for iPhone and iPod users, and will be upgraded to include localized Spanish and French versions and voiceover capabilities.
"The popularity of The Pedlar Lady confirms our belief that there is a broad audience for Classic World Tales," said Moving Tales' founder, Matthew Talbot-Kelly. "These time-tested stories cross all boundaries and are ideal for viewers of all ages and cultures."
The Pedlar Lady is available for iPad users at the App Store for $4.99.
