EyeTour Ready for Official iPhone Debut in Puerto Rico!

The iPhone finally arrives at our shores on October 17th, 2008 - a week from today! Puerto Ricans have been anxious to get their hands on the highly coveted phone for more than a year now, and EyeTour will be one of the firsts in line to get a couple of Apple's iPhones.

EyeTour's Company Vision states our commitment to technological innovation within the Tourism Industry. The company was founded on the promise of developing easy-to-use tools that anticipate the needs of our visitors, tourists, and fellow Puerto Ricans - and in keeping with that promise, we are proud to announce the release of EyeTour's first Web Application developed specifically for the iPhone.

What is EyeTour's Web Application for iPhone?

EyeTour has developed a mobile version of its Old San Juan Video Guide - including 40 of the historic city's attractions - specifically for the iPhone and iPod touch. By visiting www.eyetour.com from your iPhone or iPod touch, users will be able to view the entire Old San Juan EyeTour on their phones without having to register or download anything. Videos can be viewed by using the interactive OLD SAN JUAN MAP - just tap the screen on your desired destination! You can also move the map around with a quick flick of your finger or pinch the screen to zoom in and out. Videos are also easily accessed from the AVAILABLE VIDEOS list option on the application's home menu.

Limited Time - FREE IPHONE WALLPAPERS!

As a bonus gift to our visitors and as a way of celebrating Puerto Rico's Official Oct.17 iPhone Launch, EyeTour has designed 16 Free iPhone Wallpapers for users to download directly to their iPhones and decorate their equipment with some of the island's most amazing sights! Visit www.eyetour.com from your iPhone or iPod touch and select FREE IPHONE WALLPAPERS from the menu, then choose your desired wallpaper and touch down on the image for 2-3 seconds to save it to your phone. You can change your iPhone's wallpaper from the Settings icon on your iPhone's main menu (then touch 'General' and finally 'Wallpaper').

This map of Puerto Rico acts as our main menu. It shows you information on the different areas of the Island, as organized by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company. EyeTour's expansion plans cover the entire island, and production has already begun on the Area Este and Caguas map, as well as a nightlife tour for Old San Juan. The project was launched on July 31, 2007 with a walking tour of Old San Juan, covering 40 attractions, including museums, historical sites, parks, plazas, and famous streets. Click on the Old San Juan area (pulses red) to enter its EyeTour map.



The Old San Juan Area Map is were EyeTour Puerto Rico's currently offers its innovative content. A complete guide to Old San Juan was developed with the help of noted historian and head professor of the University of Puerto Rico, Dr. Arturo Dávila, to ensure the quality and historical accuracy of the script. The videos were individualy scored by José Martí - our group musician - who composed all of the tracks so that they fit the ambience of each video perfectly. They also include illustrations by Alfredo Richner, some of them animated by Juan Márquez.



The team believes in giving attention to detail and will measure future productions against the standards they have set for themselves with the development of the EyeTour of Old San Juan. Visit www.eyetourpuertorico.com and download the EyeTour of Old San Juan for FREE - available in four different formats (M4V, MPEG 4, MOV, and MP3). You are now ready to BE YOUR OWN GUIDE!
