EyeTour Ready for Official iPhone Debut in Puerto Rico!

The iPhone finally arrives at our shores on October 17th, 2008 - a week from today! Puerto Ricans have been anxious to get their hands on the highly coveted phone for more than a year now, and EyeTour will be one of the firsts in line to get a couple of Apple's iPhones.

EyeTour's Company Vision states our commitment to technological innovation within the Tourism Industry. The company was founded on the promise of developing easy-to-use tools that anticipate the needs of our visitors, tourists, and fellow Puerto Ricans - and in keeping with that promise, we are proud to announce the release of EyeTour's first Web Application developed specifically for the iPhone.

What is EyeTour's Web Application for iPhone?

EyeTour has developed a mobile version of its Old San Juan Video Guide - including 40 of the historic city's attractions - specifically for the iPhone and iPod touch. By visiting www.eyetour.com from your iPhone or iPod touch, users will be able to view the entire Old San Juan EyeTour on their phones without having to register or download anything. Videos can be viewed by using the interactive OLD SAN JUAN MAP - just tap the screen on your desired destination! You can also move the map around with a quick flick of your finger or pinch the screen to zoom in and out. Videos are also easily accessed from the AVAILABLE VIDEOS list option on the application's home menu.

Limited Time - FREE IPHONE WALLPAPERS!

As a bonus gift to our visitors and as a way of celebrating Puerto Rico's Official Oct.17 iPhone Launch, EyeTour has designed 16 Free iPhone Wallpapers for users to download directly to their iPhones and decorate their equipment with some of the island's most amazing sights! Visit www.eyetour.com from your iPhone or iPod touch and select FREE IPHONE WALLPAPERS from the menu, then choose your desired wallpaper and touch down on the image for 2-3 seconds to save it to your phone. You can change your iPhone's wallpaper from the Settings icon on your iPhone's main menu (then touch 'General' and finally 'Wallpaper').

EyeTour won the 2007 EnterPRize Business Plan Competition. NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!

We want to urge our fellow entrepreneurs in Puerto Rico to get their thinking caps on and participate in this year's EnterPRize Business Plan Competition. Ideas are had all the time by all kinds of people and many of them are good - even great! However, most of them are not written down, carefully thought out, researched or organized. EnterPRize provides the perfect opportunity for you to develop your idea and with the help of some of Puerto Rico's brightest business minds, turn it into a working business plan for your company or startup. Best part is you can win money to help you along with your enterprise as well as some significant in-kind prizes such as office space, television advertising, billboard advertising, and more!

I've posted below some info about the competition so you can get on it pronto!

Saludos,

EyeTour to participate in EnterPRize 2008 ad campaign!

EyeTour is currently working on pre-production of new videos and on the new version of the site (you are going to LOVE it! We sure do!) - which means we are holed up most of the day with our computers trying to meet deadlines.  So it was great to have been called by Grupo Guayacán last week to form part of their ad campaign for the EnterPRize 2008 Business Plan Competition.  EyeTour (you might remember us as last year's winners) as well as another past winner, Alive, will be featured on this year's campaign, which includes print-ads in El Nuevo Día (check today's edition), billboard advertisements, and television commercials.  Tomorrow we are shooting part of our tv-ad so we hope you can see us shortly between airings of your favorite 'telenovela' or local news show!

EyeTour is currently working hard to bring you even more content and a redesigned website. Stay tuned!
