NORWALK, Conn., Feb. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Defentect Group,
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DFTC), a developer and provider of
immediate intelligent messaging software solutions, announced today
that the Company has committed to a second quarter release of its
DefenCall application and service for the Android operating system.
The original version of DefenCall, the only application on the
market to enable a user to broadcast his or her exact location in
the event of an emergency, has been available to iPhone and iPod
Touch users since June 2010.
According to Nielsen, the global leader in media information,
TV, mobile and online research, Android is the single
fastest-growing mobile platform in the overall US market. The same
Nielsen study determined that 50% of Android users are under the
age of 35 and that Apple has the most SmartPhone users under the
age of 44. With the availability of iPhones on the Verizon network
and the addition of the Android devices, the market size available
to DefenCall will approximately double to triple in size.
"Our mission at Defentect is to enable as many people as
possible to have access to help in the event of an emergency. Our
recent strategic efforts have resulted in our DM3™ platform being
marketed beyond the scope of radiation detection. Our SmartPhone
initiative is the perfect example of how our core technology can be
successfully integrated on both the individual and enterprise
levels," commented James Ackerly,
CEO of Defentect Group. "DefenCall's availability to both iPhone
and Android users is vital to our marketing efforts in other areas,
such as the colleges and universities. Statistics show that Android
and Apple users easily make up more than half of the population of
these schools. Android will be key to our acceptance in that
market.."
