			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Palm Pre Exposed: Rapid Repair to Give Smartphone Fans a First Peak inside the Much-Anticipated New Device<br />
</strong><em>Technicians Will Reveal Pre’s Guts to Analyze Performance, Create Do-it-Yourself Repair Guide</em></p>
<p><strong>KALAMAZOO, MI – (June 4, 2009)</strong> – Rapid Repair, the most well-known and reputable national online repair service for consumer electronics, announced today that it will give smartphone fans a first peak at the technology inside the eagerly anticipated new Palm Pre device with a launch-day disassembly on Saturday, June 6. Images of the disassembly process will be posted to the company’s website at <a href="http://www.RapidRepair.com">www.RapidRepair.com</a> as it unfolds, shortly after Sprint stores open for the Pre launch at 9 a.m.</p>
<p>Rapid Repair technicians will expose and examine the guts of the device to analyze its performance capabilities and see how it stacks up against other comparable devices. They will use the knowledge gleaned from the disassembly to create a repair guide for do-it-yourselfers who opt to make repairs on their own.</p>
<p>“It’s inevitable – within a week of the device hitting the stores, new owners will already be needing repairs,” said Aaron Vronko, service manager at Rapid Repair. “Damage from dropping devices like this is common, and screen repairs are high on the list.”</p>
<p>Vronko says Rapid Repair technicians are looking forward to seeing Palm’s implementation of the multi-touch screen and how it allows the user to navigate a more robust device interface. In addition, technicians will inventory the Pre’s internal components to see which manufacturers are contributing to the device, gain insight into when technology upgrades can be expected and establish a basis for comparison for newer versions when they are released. Disassembly technicians will also offer commentary on the layout of the internal technology to provide guidance on the ease of do-it-yourself repair.</p>
<p>“Palm is iconic in the handheld device industry – this company literally put the PDA on the map,” Vronko said. “To a certain extent, this is their first legitimate attempt to capture a piece of the mainstream smartphone market, and we’re anxious to get a look at the processor and the memory on board to get a sense for the Pre’s horsepower.”</p>
<p>Images and commentary on the Palm Pre disassembly will be posted as soon as they are available at <a href="http://www.rapidrepair.com/guides/Palm-Pre/palm-pre-dissasembly-repair-guide.html">http://www.rapidrepair.com/guides/Palm-Pre/palm-pre-dissasembly-repair-guide.html</a> and the do-it-yourself Palm Pre repair guide will be posted within a week.</p>
<p>Rapid Repair is one of the longest-standing and most reputable sources for small electronics repair, specializing in iPod, iPhone, Zune and handheld and console game systems. Customers receive free diagnostic services on most items by completing the diagnostic service request form at <a href="http://www.rapidrepair.com">www.rapidrepair.com</a> and sending in their device for evaluation.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Nationally-Known Technology Repair Company Owner Expresses Outrage; Offers Customers 10% off April Services as Example of Customer-First Commitment</em></p>
<p><em><strong>KALAMAZOO, Mich., March 26</strong><strong> /PRNewswire/</strong></em> <strong>&#8211; </strong>Rapid Repair, the most well-known and reputable national online repair service for digital electronics, wants to set itself apart from its competitors &#8211; in more ways than one. The company not only strives to demonstrate quality, customer commitment and affordability in its services, it also wants to be sure it doesn&#8217;t get confused with a recently-nabbed Kalamazoo-based competitor who was caught ripping off not only its customers, but also Apple, Inc. <span id="more-10"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;Talk about biting the hand that feeds you,&#8221; said Aaron Vronko, CEO, co-founder and service manager of Rapid Repair. &#8220;Here at Rapid Repair, we work hard to make sure our customers are happy, because they make us successful. It is hard to believe that there is a locally-based competitor in the industry who would stoop to such a level and not only lie to customers, but also, in the process, rip off another company like Apple.&#8221;</p>
<p>The competitor, a supposed iPod repairman also based in Rapid Repair&#8217;s home of Kalamazoo, concocted a scheme whereby Shuffle model devices sent to him for repair were repaired for free by Apple under valid warranties. Using a list of valid warranty numbers for the audio players, the accused would enter the number when submitting a broken but out of warranty Shuffle to Apple, receive a replacement device in exchange, and then bill the customer for a &#8220;repair&#8221; of the Shuffle &#8211; to the tune of more than a half million dollars in profit. The &#8220;growing business&#8221; employed several people to help with the mailing and receiving the Shuffles. The scammer has been charged with fraud and money laundering, according to a report by the <a href="http://www.boston.com/business/technology/articles/2009/03/19/michigan_ipod_repairman_charged_with_fraud/?rss_id=Boston+Globe+--+Technology+stories" target="_new" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.boston.com/business/technology/articles/2009/03/19/michigan_ipod_repairman_charged_with_fraud/?rss_id=Boston+Globe+--+Technology+stories&amp;referer=');">Boston Globe</a><em>, </em>and is cooperating with authorities.</p>
<p>By contrast, Rapid Repair is one of the longest-standing and most reputable outfits in the small electronics repair business. The company not only repairs and services iPods, Zune units and other devices, but also modifies them to look customized with colorful screens and faceplates. RapidRepair can fix devices with sound issues, liquid damage, hard drive problems and broken screens, by far the most common problem. The company also sells parts, accessories, and manuals, and includes professional installation of parts at no extra charge.</p>
<p>To reinforce customer trust and appreciation, Rapid Repair is offering customers 10% off all services in the month of April. Customers can simply log on to <a href="../../" target="_new">www.rapidrepair.com</a> and use the Code april10.</p>
