Popular and affordable text and drive app solution is now available on Blackberry

Nov. 4, 2010 - PRLog -- SEATTLE, WA (November 4, 2010) – Following the successful April 2010 launch of OTTER for the Android platform, Blackberry users have demanded OTTER as well.   OTTER LLC has responded by announcing the release of OTTER for Blackberry today.  "We developed OTTER for the Blackberry platform with all the functionality of OTTER currently on Android platform.  We’re consistently seeing high marks from the tech review community and customer feedback has been terrific, which tells us that we are successfully meeting consumer needs.  As with the Android market, we will continue to offer a less invasive, more functional product at an affordable price.”,  said OTTER LLC CEO and owner, Erik Wood.  

Large and small corporations worldwide are seeing that they have a  text and drive responsibility when they issue Blackberry phones to their employees.  OTTER represents the simplest, highly functional yet affordable method to satisfy this responsibility.   Companies are finding that OTTER does not only address the text and drive issue.    OTTER’s Auto Reply feature with a timer interface allows employees to schedule “texting blackout periods” with a customized auto reply  so they can focus on an important meeting or a deadline.  How much would any company’s productivity increase with non distracted meetings?

To demonstrate its commitment to effect tangible change to the texting management landscape, OTTER LLC is offering OTTER for Blackberry at a one time cost of $3.99, identical the the current price in the Android market. “It’s important that we make OTTER affordable for everyone,” said Mr. Wood. "There is competing hardware and software on the market, but these offerings are much more invasive and are priced at anywhere from $15 to $200, with recurring fees"

THE NEED:

The worldwide epidemic of texting & driving needs a genuine response from cell carriers and manufacturers. 75% of teens text daily – many over 3,000 times a month. OTTER is the first app of its kind that integrates Auto Reply and GPS functionality to produce a tool that allows users to manage their texts while they are at home, in the office or, most importantly, on the highway. OTTER includes a GPS Parental Control feature for the highest risk drivers - teens. OTTER offers a tool to the texting culture and NOT an invasive texting "lock down" system.
