Metiscan, Inc. Considers Becoming Apple iPhone Developer

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - May 19, 2009) - Metiscan, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: MTIZ), a leading provider of products and services that streamline the management of diagnostic imaging facilities, today announced that the Company is considering adding Apple iPhone Development to its portfolio of products and services.

An integral part of Management's strategic plan is the intent to grow the Company through making key acquisitions of both companies and developing technologies prevalent in today's emerging markets. To date, the Company has been actively involved in investing, developing, and enhancing its core Electronic Medical (Health) Records business through its subsidiary, Metiscan Managed Services, Inc. Already at the threshold of capitalizing on the new multi-billion dollar stimulus package as established by President Barack Obama, the Company is confident that continuing to invest in medical technologies will yield a high rate of return in the upcoming years.

In keeping with Management's overall goal and vision of investing in emerging technologies, the Company is seeking to take advantage of the fast growing software applications marketplace for the Apple iPhone. "Management has been evaluating becoming an Apple iPhone Developer for quite some time," commented Bryan A. Scott, President and CEO of Metiscan, Inc. "We believe that the addition of the iPhone development to our organization will allow us to further diversify our software offering and enable us to access new revenue streams and profits. Part of the strategy we are considering is rapid growth through acquisition of iPhone applications with our initial focus targeted towards business related iPhone applications."

On April 24, 2009 Apple announced that it sold its 1 Billionth iPhone Application through its revolutionary App Store. It has been estimated that the App Store currently features over 35,000 applications built by thousand of developers. This summer Apple plans on releasing the iPhone OS 3.0 software update which will provide over 1,000 new APIs that will enable countless new features for iPhone developers to take advantage of. Applications are sold under various categories to include Business, Finance, Entertainment, Games, Medical, and Lifestyle. Applications on average range in price from free to $3.99+ per application. It is not unheard of for a single developer with a single application to exceed more than $100,000 in revenues per month.
