questions and answers that will be on each of the license tests. Users can flag
questions that need more review, segment questions for study by sub-element, or
even study the questions in a random order.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The ARRL apps are produced and sold by McSnyder Software
who has partnered with ARRL to provide the iPhone app series. McSnyder has also
produced study applications for other organizations -- including exam
preparation software for standardized educational testing in Texas, as well as
US Citizenship immigration testing. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>"We are excited to introduce Amateur Radio and ARRL into
the rapidly expanding mobile and portable technology arena," said ARRL Marketing
Manager Bob Inderbitzen, NQ1R. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>"Not only do these applications demonstrate ARRL's
commitment to users of these popular devices, the software helps promote Amateur
Radio outside of our traditional publication channels." </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The ARRL apps are available for $1.99 each on Apple's
iTunes "App Store."</FONT></P>
