Livescribe 3 smartpen appears in FCC filing, can’t wait to digitize your doodles
Posted in: Today's Chili
Now that we’ve got those naming suits out of the way, it’s time to get down to brass tacks. With “brass tacks” involving a new smartpen, in this particular instance. The Livescribe 3 has just made itself known in a public FCC filing today, showcasing a svelte writing utensil whose main purpose in life is to digitize your handwritten notes. It’s equipped with Bluetooth in order to pair with your iOS device and the accompanying Livescribe+ app, and once you start doodling in your Livescribe notebook, those very scribbles will appear in the app. There’s a micro-USB connector on top for recharging it, and a handy twistable handle that turns the unit on. (Oh, and if you’re curious, we’re told that “more supported devices” will be added soon.)
For the power users, there are Pencasts — said to be “interactive documents containing audio that is synchronized to your handwritten notes.” As is always the case with FCC reveals, pricing and availability are nowhere to be found; that said, an FCC submission generally signals that it’s just about ready for store shelves in the US. We’ll watch as you attempt to digitally write about the art of containing your excitement.

Apple now offers native gamepad support in iOS 7, and ClamCase is making the most of that opportunity by unveiling the GameCase. The Bluetooth add-on will give iOS players a full-size, Xbox-like controller that should work in any title using the official gamepad API — developers won’t have to include proprietary code in their apps. ClamCase also promises ample play time through a built-in lithium-ion battery. The GameCase isn’t expected to ship until late 2013 or early 2014, but there are plans to offer versions for all iPads and iPhones that run iOS 7. If you’re interested, you can sign up for notifications from ClamCase at the source link.

Back in April, we saw the first Iron Man 3 computer mouse turn up for gaming geeks who also happen to be comic book geeks. The mouse is made by a company in a Hong Kong called E-Blue. That company is at it again with an updated version of the computer mouse with a few changes .
Under the red and gold Iron Man armor exterior, the mouse has the heart of an optical gaming peripheral. It has onboard sensitivity switching ranging from 500 dpi up to 4000 dpi. It also has six buttons that use mechanical switches. Gamers can also choose their own polling rate using a switch on the bottom of the mouse.
The polling rate can be switched from 125 Hz all the way up to 1000 Hz. Keep in mind that this mouse does use a USB cable rather than being wireless – which is best for gaming. If that wire isn’t a deal breaker for you the mouse is available now for $73 over at Brando.
Let’s hope the mouse has better quality control than the bad translations and typos in the descriptions above.
