AuGrDe Launches Its First iPhone Application: Toast 2 Toast

Find the Perfect Drinking Toast with This Fun and Easy to Use App

OAK PARK, ILL. (April 11, 2009) -- Automated Graphic Design (AuGrDe) is proud to announce the release of the firm's first iPhone/iPod Touch application. Toast 2 Toast is the most comprehensive toasting assistant available on the iPhone and iPod Touch, with nearly 250 of the world's finest toasts.

"When you're out drinking with friends or celebrating a special occasion, making a toast is one of those moments that can really 'break the ice' to get people in the right mood to enjoy themselves and have fun," said Nelson Taruc, developer of Toast 2 Toast. "Unfortunately, for many people -- myself included -- it's hard to come up with that perfect witty toast off the top of your head. So that was the inspiration for Toast 2 Toast: A fun app that'll help you find the perfect toast quickly and easily."

Now available for $0.99 at the iPhone App Store, Toast 2 Toast lets you find the perfect toast in a unique fashion: Toasts are organized by moods, so all you need to do is figure out what kind of mood you're in, and we'll pick out the most appropriate toasts for you!

Other Toast 2 Toast features include:
* Exclusive new original toasts written by the developers
* Many moods to choose from: Bitter, Cultural, Festive, Funny, Girly, Inspired, Happy, Manly or Thirsty
* Special categories just for men and women
* Includes toasts for special occasions, weddings and holidays
* Provides proper pronunciations for toasts in foreign languages
* Find hidden "Toasting Tips" along the way
* Discover new toasts just by shaking your iPhone or iPod Touch

"If you're someone who appreciates the 'art of the toast,' you'll love how we've assembled a wide range of toasts -- nearly 250 in all -- in one app that's easy to use." Taruc added. "You can skim through it during your free time to learn new toasts, or you can fire up the app just before making an impromptu toast. Toast 2 Toast will definitely help make generic toasts such as 'Cheers!' and 'Bottoms up!' relics of the past."

Compatible with any iPhone or iPod touch with operating system version 2.2.1, Toast 2 Toast was designed and developed by AuGrDe in cooperation with Kaizen Media Group of Bolingbrook, Ill.
