The new fine-tip stylus offers expanded cross-device compatibility in today’s connected world. Now users have one easy solution for quick note taking across several smartphones and touchscreen tablets.
TOKYO and PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Today Wacom announced Bamboo Tip, a new fine-tip stylus for Android and iOS devices. Aimed at everyone who relies on digital note-taking and working across several devices to get things done but is weary of compatibility and pairing issues, Bamboo Tip offers a quick and intuitive experience across devices. Designed for writing on Android, iPhone and iPad devices and switching between without pairing, Bamboo Tip is an easy to use every day stylus for users on the move.
“In today’s connected world, we rely on a combination of smartphones, tablets and different operating systems to capture ideas, observations and next steps at work or at play,” said Mike Gay, Senior Vice President of the Wacom Consumer Business Unit. “Bamboo Tip lets users move seamlessly between devices and operating systems to get things done. As OS providers roll out more seamless note taking and markup capabilities on their devices, Bamboo Tip will help users take full advantage to be more productive and turn ideas into reality.”
Bamboo Tip leverages Wacom’s decades of experience in pen and styli technology to improve touch screen detection for reliable accuracy in nib-to-screen contact. It allows the user to quickly jump from device to device without waiting for the device and stylus to pair. That means you can take notes on your iPhone, sketch them out on your iPad, and then walk your coworker through your ideas on their Android device, allowing you to focus on the ideas in front of you instead of coordinating your tools.
Bamboo Tip comes with a durable and comfortable to touch anodized aluminum surface in elegant dark blue and a sturdy clip. Its 20-hour battery life and easy charging make it extremely portable and great for anyone who spends the day on the go and might not have access to their charging station. After an initial charge, simply press the button on the stylus to turn on the Bamboo Tip. The stylus will turn off after several minutes of not being used, or users can turn it off by holding down the button. A switch at the top of the stylus also helps users fine tune performance by changing the frequency at which the stylus communicates with a device.
Configuration, Pricing and Availability
Priced at $49.95 USD, €59.90 EUR* and ¥6,280 JPY, the Bamboo Tip is available now in the U.S., Japan and European markets at Wacom.com. For more information on compatibility, visit www.wacom.com/comp.

IRVINE, Calif. – OUYA Publishing announced today the expanded release of “Gurgamoth.” Originally launched for PC and Mac by indie developer Galvanic Games, the festival favorite arena flying fighting game is the fourth multi-platform title in as many months distributed and marketed by OUYA Publishing, a wholly owned division of Razer, Inc.

OUYA Publishing also co-funded the Android and Steam release of “That Dragon, Cancer” by Numinous Gam
ABOUT “GURGAMOTH”:
“Gurgamoth” was originally “Gurgamoth Lives” and Galvanic Games built the game during Playfab’s 2015 Seattle Game Jam. As part of the competition, it took home the Player’s Choice Award. From there, the team decided to polish it up and release it as a smaller title. After doing a small launch on Halloween on Itch.io and going through the Steam Greenlight process, it became “Gurgamoth.” Galvanic then added an elder god’s worth of content in preparation for the original full launch on PC and Mac.
Gurgamoth is a perfect mix of party chaos and competitive strategy, ideal for sitting around on the couch with your friends, or against some nasty bots.
In this flying fighting game, sacrifice your fellow cultists to raise an ancient deity with your only weapon being the level itself: a shifting battlefield with different hazards. Gurgamoth is fast, relying on quick timing, but also your ability to read your opponent. Will they dodge your attack and send you flying into a spinning saw blade? Will they spend their attacks on a power up, leaving them temporarily vulnerable? Will they anticipate your attack and stun you while you’re recovering?
Get inside their minds and earn the honor of awakening Gurgamoth!

Strava Live Segments provides a variety of visual components, allowing athletes to view their second-by-second performance during starred segments and popular local segments. Audio cues enable athletes to hear their progress on a segment.

A complete mobile-based hearing solution that provides all the features of a conventional hearing correction mechanism
17 May 2016, Mumbai: Quadio Devices Pvt Ltd, a leading hearing care provider of India, today introduced for the first time their path breaking Q+ hearing app in Mumbai on android and iOS platforms. The app promises to be a holistic mobile-based hearing solution complete with all the features of a conventional hearing tool. The Q+ app is a first of its kind free application that is ultra-advanced besides being affordable, accessible, controllable and customizable. Quadio uses the latest internet and mobile technology to push the boundaries of telemedicine and hearing care and merge the worlds of healthcare and technology.
The Q+ app harnesses the processing power of your smart phone to enable it to be used as a complete and fully-functional hearing mechanism. It is designed to maximize the listening experience based on the results of a simple interactive hearing test. The app also gives you the ability to control and customize sound quality by intelligently enhancing hearing sounds and speech. With the Q+ app you can easily follow conversations using the phone headset in both quiet and noisy environments, and control the sound quality to customize it to your preference. The inbuilt hearing test in Q+ is calibrated for accuracy as per ANSI standards for audiometry.
Sharing his excitement at the app launch, Neeraj Dotel, CEO, Quadio Devices Pvt Ltd said, “Hearing loss is the second largest disability in the country that affects more than 120 million lives with majority sufferers over the age of 60. There are less than 2000 practicing audiologists in India and therefore most people have never actually received treatment until their hearing has degraded severely with age. The Q+ app is a stellar example of the innovative capabilities of Quadio where our customers don’t have to shell out big bucks for hearing care and anyone with a smartphone can now have access to high-quality hearing mechanism.”
Anurag Sharma, Co-Founder and CTO Quadio Devices Pvt Ltd, said: “It gives me extreme pleasure to introduce Q+, a hearing solution app that delivers a complete hearing experience. When we started Quadio in 2009, the objective was to come up with a hearing solution that empowered people to hear what they wanted, how they wanted and wherever they wanted. The flexibility of controls offered by a smartphone app is much more than that offered by conventional hearing aids and, along with the affordability of smartphones, the reach of app store, and the inbuilt test, this gets us closer to achieving our objective. I appreciate the hard work put in by our team in creating a wonderful amalgam of technology, intuitive design and stellar performance into a package that is Q+.”
One of India’s finest ENT specialists, Padma Shri awardee Dr. Milind Kirtane, consultant ENT surgeon at Hinduja Hospital said, “I would say it would be ideal that universal new-born hearing screening be made compulsory or obligatory, because early detection and therefore early intervention, can really make a significant difference in the life of a person affected with hearing loss.”
Quadio was founded by two IIT graduates – Mr. Paresh Patel from IIT Kanpur and Mr. Anurag Sharma, a silver medallist from IIT Bombay with a vision to deliver innovative hearing solutions to anyone, anytime, anywhere, and empower individuals to hear what they want, how they want and when they want. Their mission is to increase penetration of hearing aids and solutions across the globe thus leading to improved quality of life for the hearing impaired.

Founded by two technocrats, the company is headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra, India. Quadio is actively involved in R&D, manufacture and distribution of hearing health care services and devices.

While your home timeline is a great place to browse and engage with Tweets, we know it can be challenging to find the time to get through everything you’d like to see. No matter how much time you spend with Twitter, we want you to get the most out of using it.
Earlier, we released Highlights in English to all Android users; starting today, we’re extending this experience globally in all 35+ languages that Twitter supports.
https://twitter.com/TwitterIndia/status/644175197688328192
Highlights, a fast, simple Twitter summary, lets you catch up quickly on interesting stuff that is most relevant to you. To create your Highlights, we look at things like the accounts and conversations that are popular among people you follow, Tweets from people you’re closely tied to, topics and events that are trending in your area or within your network, and people that are popular or trending among people you follow.
With Highlights, you will get a notification on your phone letting you know your Highlights are ready. When you open the notification, you’ll go directly into the Twitter app where your Highlights will be displayed in a new interface. View them all by swiping through from right to left. When you’ve reached the last one, another swipe puts you directly into your home timeline. You can also view your Highlights at any time by tapping the overflow icon in your home timeline.

Industry’s Leading Solution for Integrating Macs into Windows File Sharing Environments Now Offers Support for Mobile Workers to Access Files on Any Device
Dubai, UAE — JUNE 02, 2015 — Acronis®, a global leader in new generation data protection, today unveiled Acronis Access Connect – it’s latest file and print sharing solution for SMBs and enterprises. Acronis Access Connect (formerly ExtremeZ-IP) is the leading solution for integrating Macs into businesses and enterprises. With this new release, Acronis Access Connect adds broad support for mobile workers to securely access files using iOS, Android, and Windows phones and tablets. This combined support across the range of PC, Mac and mobile platforms lets employees keep using the devices they love, while enabling IT departments to deliver a seamless, scalable, and problem-free file server access and print sharing experience for users.
Ease-of-Use for IT and Employees
With Acronis Access Connect, mobile workers and road warriors can now access their work files wherever they need them, using the intuitively designed Access Connect mobile clients for iOS, Android and Windows mobile devices. Minimal or no end user training is required for mobile users, especially those familiar with Mac and Windows file sharing environments.
For IT managers and professionals, Acronis Access Connect eliminates SMB protocol bugs, performance issues and compatibility problems related to integrating Macs into Windows environments, reducing help desk calls by as much as 70%. Acronis Access Connect installs in a matter of minutes on Windows servers, delivering immediate time-to-value for IT administrators and support personnel. The solution allows employees to be more productive when working with files on their PCs, Macs and mobile devices – whenever and wherever they choose.
Employees Using Macs at Tipping Point
As bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies continues to transform the way employees work worldwide, Macs in the workplace are becoming more common. In fact, a 2014 survey of 376 IT professionals conducted by Dimensional Research1 found that user preference is the top reason given by IT administrators for supporting Macs. The survey also found that 66 percent of businesses are already using Macs today, and more than 70 percent officially support Macs as a company endpoint.
While many employees clearly prefer Macs, there are challenges from an IT perspective when it comes to file sharing, including compatibility, search performance issues, and a poor user experience. With unmatched compatibility and transparency, Acronis Access Connect allows Mac users to take advantage of key features they expect when connecting to Windows or NAS file servers, including:
- Fast, full content searching using Network Spotlight
- Automatic backups using Time Machine
- Fast browsing of network shares
- Glitch-free operations when using key applications, such as Microsoft Office or Adobe Creative Suite
Phoenix Printing Plates Eliminates Connectivity Issues, Improves Productivity
Phoenix Printing Plates, award-winning flexo printing plate manufacturer in the UK, operates with their designers and production teams under constant tight deadlines. Using Macs as quickly and efficiently as possible in this production-driven environment is a requirement. Prior to using Acronis, the company’s Mac users were not able to efficiently connect to their Windows SBS 2010 Server, wasting time and reducing productivity. Folders were slow to display contents, searching was impossible, and reading and writing files was sluggish for users. Within 30 minutes of installing Acronis Access Connect, the entire studio was connected to the Windows Server, resulting in more productive Mac users with fewer IT and performance issues. In addition, the solution does not require the installation of additional software on the Mac clients.
“Everyone in the studio now gets a seamless connection and experience, and everyone is happy,” said Kristian Wells, Repro Account Manager at Phoenix Printing Plates. “We don’t even realize that Acronis Access Connect is running as once it is installed on the server we don’t ever need to touch it.”
“Acronis Access Connect cures two of the biggest IT headaches when it comes to file sharing,” said Derick Naef, General Manager of Mobility Solutions at Acronis. “First, we help IT support the increasing numbers of Mac users by virtually eliminating file sharing support issues, and second, we have opened up filer server access across any device – empowering all of your employees to work and collaborate from anywhere.”
