HOUSTON, Jul 07, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- National Clean Fuels (PinkSheets: NACF) announced today that the Company is developing a timely Smartphone app that will give subscribers live information on the Gulf of Mexico beaches during the massive BP oil spill. The new Smartphone application being developed is named "WhiteSands.mobi".
The WhiteSands app will allow a user to input a state, city and/or a specific resort type destination along the US Gulf Coast. The app will then show them whether the beaches are oily or clear and whether any accommodations that they may be interested in visiting are open or closed. The app will also integrate optional vendor input to broaden the information available through the application. In addition, the application can be applied to other coastal and/or disaster areas.
WhiteSands is initially being developed for Apple's iPhone, Google's Android, Research in Motion's BlackBerry and for use on Facebook. With over 150 million Smartphone users currently connected to the system, the Company believes the WhiteSands application will be introduced into a very desirable marketplace with wide appeal.
"This application is being developed for a ready-made user market," stated Maurice Stone, President of NACF. "We anticipate significant demand for the WhiteSands app upon its release."
National Clean Fuels aggressively develops new clean energy technology to compete in an energy industry that includes stalwarts such as BP.
