For the many fans of Sanrio, especially Hello Kitty, here is your chance to get them on your iPhone. Thanks to the partnership between Sanrio Digital and ZIO Interactive Inc., Hello Kitty and friends can now be placed on your iPhone via the Hello Kitty Parachute Paradise iPhone app.

Now available for download at the Apple iPhone app store in the U.S., the game has two components:

• The My Room Showcase. This is the option that allows you to modify your character based on the collected special items from the parachuting stages. Users can even create their own wallpapers and then upload it to the game website so others can see it.
• Arcade Game. This option is the normal phase of any game. It is the game proper where Hello Kitty earns points to progress through ten challenging stages which includes an unlockable mini-game. To complete a stage, users launch Hello Kitty in the air, then guide her past obstacles to collect special items with left-right, tilt-based controls while parachuting down to safety.

The game retails for $4.99 at the Apple App Store.

Olympic sensation Michael Phelps is back in the groove of things and now gets another partner-endorser with H2O audio, the leader in waterproof headphones. H2O and Phelps agreed to a multi-year contract where the famed swimmer will be endorsing the waterproof headsets in promoting the incorporation of music in the training regimen of swimmers today.

Music has been known to help in the training process of any sport actually. However until now when the era of waterproof audio devices were discovered, nothing was made for the water sports category. With this new partnership, H2O stands to get a lot of attention particularly due to the following that Michael Phelps garnered for his outstanding performance at the last Olympics for Team USA.

“H2O Audio is extremely proud to welcome Michael Phelps to our team,” said Kristian Rauhala, founder and ceo, H2O Audio. “It’s an honor to have the opportunity to work with one of the finest athletes in the world, especially one who so perfectly aligns with H2O Audio’s mission to encourage everyone — from the elite athlete to the recreational participant– to pursue an active lifestyle and push their level of performance.”

You can get more information on H2O at their website.
