(OTC: PRPL) (“Purple”), a leading provider of innovative communications for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, announced today the launch of the Purple Video Relay Service (VRS) version 2 application (app) for iPhone® 4, iPod touch® and iPad® 2. “Now more than ever, our customers and employees have choices when purchasing smartphones, computers and other devices,” said Mark Stern, Purple’s vice president of technical program management. “I’m proud that I am part of an organization that continually develops products and services that allow me the choice to use Purple VRS on an iPad, iPhone, Mac – whatever I choose.” Stern stresses that choice is important, adding that the launch earlier this year of Purple VRS for Mac® is due to the large number of Purple customers who use Mac computers and laptops. “We recognize one size doesn’t fit all, and the more choices we offer, the better our customers will be able to more freely and easily communicate,” he added. Using existing communication devices generally reserved for hearing individuals, like cell phones, Purple develops free communications software designed to make communications among deaf and hard-of-hearing people with hearing people easier and more convenient. By adding support for the iPad 2, Purple VRS continues to expand its products and services, allowing customers not only the freedom of more choices, but mobility, as well.
