Metiscan, Inc.: Metiscan Announces New Subsidiary and LOI
DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - July 15, 2009) - Metiscan, Inc. (
Taptopia is focused on designing and developing innovative consumer and enterprise smartphone software solutions for today's most popular smartphones including Apple, RIM, Palm, Android, and Windows Mobile devices. Recently organized in July 2009, Taptopia's team of consultants, advisors, and developers collectively has significant experience in designing, developing, and deploying consumer and enterprise software applications and solutions for various industries.
Initially, Taptopia is focused on building applications and services on a contract basis as it internally builds its own portfolio of consumer and enterprise applications and services.
As part of this initiative, Taptopia signed a non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") to purchase all source code and intellectual property for three enterprise Apple iPhone applications. Taptopia is also considering other applications to purchase. Lastly, Taptopia is considering building smartphone applications and services that will fill voids within untapped vertical niche markets.

They have become necessary devices in our everyday lives," commented Bryan A. Scott, President and CEO of Metiscan, Inc. "I am excited and look forward to the growth potential that smartphone technologies will provide for our organization and I look forward to launching our initial iPhone applications before the end of the year."
