The new search mode featured in the Google app, helps users find content not only from built-in apps including contacts, emails, text messages and photos, but also from user-installed apps. In Apps also enables users to discover recently accessed apps, people to get in touch with, messages to read or activity across apps without having to type a query.

A shortcut to In Apps is featured on the home screen and Second Screen of the V20, putting user's contacts, messages and other app content only one tap away. The Second Screen, an inset display above the main display of the V20 that works independently, can be set as a dedicated launching area for shortcuts of the user's favorite apps, allowing them to launch In Apps even while watching videos.

"As smartphone features become increasingly diverse, a growing number of smartphone users are willing to search for more information saved on their mobile devices," said Juno Cho, president of LG Electronics and Mobile Communications Company. "The V20 combined with Google's evolving search tools will allow users to search for information they need faster in a more convenient and smart manner."

The V20 is also the first new device in the world that comes with the Android 7.0 Nougat operating system preloaded.

Joobot announces the launch of smart DSLR controller CamBuddy Pro

HOUSTON, Sept. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Joobot announces launch of CamBuddy Pro, a matchbox-size DSLR controller that is the smartest and fastest of its kind.

    --  First DSLR controller to integrate Wi-Fi tethering, smart triggering,
        high-speed photography, and smartphone live view.
    --  Densely packed with light sensor, sound sensor, radio laser detector,
        and radio transmitter that enable creative triggering.
    --  Connect up to 128 cameras to capture stunning "Matrix bullet time"
        footage.
CamBuddy turns your DSLR into your smartphone's built-in camera. It connects your modern Canon/Nikon DSLRs through camera's USB port, while pairing with your smartphone through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. You can adjust your DSLR setting, live view, shoot, save, and share in their free downloadable app, with similar convenience as shooting with built-in lenses.

It is the smartest and only all-in-one controller on the market. CamBuddy's sensors can send a trigger signal to the camera in as short as 1 millisecond, that is 1/30 of lightning's duration. This is achieved through a powerful embedded system with an additional high performance real time sensor/trigger module. Imagine that your camera shoots automatically after a "cheers!", a clink of glasses (sound sensor), a lightning (light sensor), or an obstruction of laser (laser detector) from a falling basketball.

The Joopic App brings more. Use your smartphone as the ultimate remote control. Get creative with "Smart Bulb" mode for long time exposure and interval shooting. It also allows you to share photos and albums instantly with friends and clients.

Go fancy? Make a "Matrix bullet time" video with multiple cameras. One smartphone can connect up to 128 pairs of CamBuddy Pro and camera, a setup that can freeze a frame from multiple angles. Each CamBuddy is equipped with a radio transmitter and a receiver, same as those used in high-end wireless remote controls.

Release Date & Price

CamBuddy Pro is ready for manufacturing. Get it before Christmas by backing our Kickstarter campaign launching September 27th. The Joopic app can be downloaded for free now both in Apple Store and Google Play.

MSRP: $149

Kickstarter special price: $89 (early bird); $99 (regular)

Specifications

    --  802.11 Wi-Fi with up to 300 Mbps transfer speed, Bluetooth LE 4.0
    --  Dimensions: 3.2" x 2" x 1" (81mm x 51mm x 25mm)
    --  Sensors included: sound sensor, light sensor, laser detector, radio
        receiver, and transmitter

glaze applied to the metal finish. The result is an exquisite variety of visual effects
under different lighting conditions.

    Glory Zhang, CMO, Huawei Consumer Business Group, described the inspiration behind the
new colourways. "Red and blue are two visual extremes for artists, two kinds of characters
or two opposite moods and styles. Red is the colour of passion and fire, exuding
confidence and youthfulness and expressing the vitality of the fashion industry, while
Blue conveys a classic elegance and poise still popular in global fashion circles today.
The bold collision of red and blue is fire meeting ice: all the passion and glamour of the
fashion world inspired by a clash of the elements. When combined with the intricate wave
design of the nova series these colourways show confidence, style and dynamism, and gives

creators. Super-fast auto focus means no moment is lost, whilst the magic of the evening
shows and after-parties can be caught in all their glory with superb low light photography
functionality.

Gold, Prestige Gold, Titanium Grey and Mystic Silver.

    Pricing: Huawei P9 Red/Blue EUR549

    Huawei P9 key features

          gamut, allowing the display to cover 96 percent of the colour spectrum.
        - The dual-lens 12MP camera features RGB and BW sensors, as well as laser-assisted
          focus. This makes the camera 200 per cent more sensitive than predecessors and allows
          it to provide 300 per cent more detail.
        - The P9 is powered by Huawei's latest Kirin 955 chipset, which is based on the TSMC
          16nm FinFET Plus chip technology. CPU performance is 100 per cent faster than the P8
          and 3D graphics are improved by 125 per cent.
        - Running Android Marshmallow 6.0, the P9 uses the Huawei Emotion UI 4.1 interface,
          adding hundreds of user experience tweaks and improvements.

Casio to Release First Partnership Model With Scuderia Toro Rosso

MONZA, Italy, Sept. 2, 2016 /CNW/ - Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today the release of a new addition to the EDIFICE line of metal sport watches, which combine dynamic design with advanced technology. The new EDIFICE Scuderia Toro Rosso Limited Edition, EFR-554TR, marks Casio's first partnership model with the Formula One team Scuderia Toro Rosso.

With a big event at the Energy Station in the Paddock Harald Schroeder, Head of Marketing Casio Europe, and Franz Tost, Team Principal Scuderia Toro Rosso, introduced an exciting competition between the two Scuderia Toro Rosso drivers: Carlos Sainz and Daniil Kvyat were tested about their knowledge of Italy. They have been asked questions about monuments, food, and fashion evolving in time in a situation that was not exactly comfortable for them: they were indeed riding a stationary bicycle and their time was of course beaten by an EFR-554TR Casio watch. The result? A neck and neck challenge that ended-up with a fair hand shake.

In January of this year, Casio became an official partner of the Scuderia Toro Rosso racing team. The company believes the team's youthful dynamism, momentum, and passionate pursuit of speed, paired with its racing cars powered by outstanding technological innovations, make Scuderia Toro Rosso a perfect match for the EDIFICE brand concept of "Speed and Intelligence."

The new EFR-554TR is an exclusive model to commemorate the official partnership with Scuderia Toro Rosso. Team color red is used to accent the second hand and the hands of the inset dials, while navy blue and gold are used as accent colors in various other places such as the case as well as the hour and minute hands. The team's logo is emblazoned on the watch face and back cover. The three inset dials evoke motor sports, giving an even sportier look to this model. The new watch is specially packaged and comes with a display stand and a commemorative card.

Shigenori Itoh, Senior Executive Managing Officer and Senior General Manager, Global Marketing Headquarters, Casio Computer Co., Ltd., had this to say: "I am proud to be able to launch a watch that symbolizes our official partnership with the youthful and promising Scuderia Toro Rosso. We look forward to the future success of the team."

Franz Tost also had words about the new product: "I have been looking forward to our partnership model created under the dynamic and innovative EDIFICE brand. I hope to promote even closer ties between our two organizations."

Husqvarna Launches Virtual Reality (VR) Chainsaw Limbing and VR Chainsaw Championship

HUSKVARNA, Sweden, September 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Today, for all chainsaw fans around the world, Husqvarna releases the first Virtual
Reality (VR) chainsaw game - Husqvarna Limberjack. Via Valve's platform Steam, the game is
now available to download world-wide for anyone that wants to test their limbing skills
and compete for the new world championship title.   

    To view the Multimedia News Release, please click:
http://www.multivu.com/players/uk/7908051-husqvarna-vr-chainsaw-game-limberjack

    Committed to exploring new possibilities that can help improve skills and safety
within tree care, Husqvarna, a world leader in professional chainsaws now enters the
virtual world with an online VR limbing game. With the game, Husqvarna hopes to gather
insights on how new technology can play a future role in educating and training users on
proper product use as well as generate interest for logging.

    "VR limbing combines two extremes, one of the oldest professions in the world together
with the newest technology available," says Lars Strandell, multiple medallist from the
bi-annual World Logging Championship. "Husqvarna Limberjack is fun and educational and
just like limbing in the real world, technique, precision and speed is crucial for
productivity and a good result."

    How to play 

    The Husqvarna VR experience brings the player to a beautiful mountainside with a lake
where the player has to use a Husqvarna 359 chainsaw to remove 24 branches from a 2.7
meter long log. The player needs to pick up the chainsaw and remove the branches as
accurately and quickly. Just like a professional logger, the player needs to limb fast,
and with precision. If branches are not removed properly, the player will need to go back
and re-do, losing time.

    The exhilarating game includes a local as well as a global high score list, making it
fun to compete both in groups at home and online against other VR limberjacks around the
world.

    Husqvarna Limberjack VR Championship - Annual Final in Sweden 

    At the end of each month, Husqvarna will announce the best Limberjack player in the
world for the month, and in August 2017, the twelve best Limberjack players will be
invited to the world championships final in Sweden.

    About limbing 

    Limbing is a difficult and time consuming part of professional logging that requires
good technique. It refers to the process of removing branches from a fallen tree before
the log is transported away. Husqvarna Limberjack is inspired by one of the five
disciplines from the World Logging Championship, a bi-annual competition that gathers the
150 best loggers from around the world. The current world reccord in real limbing is less
than 9 seconds. To learn how to limb in the real world, read more here

Seeing the Future, Chinese Washing Machine Manufacturer Little Swan Leads New Home Appliance Era with Beverly II

BERLIN, Germany, Sept. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The home appliance industry, an industry that is key to making day-to-day life easier for every individual on this planet, continued to be the hotspot at the IFA held in Berlin from the 4(th) to the 7(th) of September. Chinese washing machine manufacturer Little Swan attracted a lot of attention from visitors and the media at the event.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160902/403783

New products exhibited by the Chinese manufacturer at the show included recently developed high-end washing machine products, including the Beverly II series (the Beverly II pulsator washing machine, the Beverly II drum washing machine and Beverly II dryer), the Smart Hybrid washing machine and the Disney retro washing machine, launched in partnership with the Walt Disney Company. Little Swan, which generally keeps a low profile at home and abroad, attracted extensive interest from visitors to the exhibition with several newly created high-end products. The luxurious and refined exterior and high-end customized interior are the most notable characteristics of the Beverly II line of products.

According to information revealed at the show, for the Beverly II products, the manufacturer not only maintained the highly disciplined approach that Chinese artisans have towards its handcrafted goods, but also adopted the advanced European Kimber process as a component of the production protocols. The brand has combined the diamond cutting process with seamless welder technology when building the machine bodies, followed by polishing masters who spend more than 300 hours in polishing the machine surfaces. The highly refined exterior has won great applause from visitors, while the interior components fully demonstrate the power of "intelligently made in China".

In addition to the features of the first generation of Beverly washing machines, the Beverly II series comes equipped with a brand-new smart customized system comprised of a personalized user interface allowing for customized clothes washing and aftercare processes as well as a more user-friendly and accurate detergent delivery system, creating an unprecedented experience for users in terms of the end-to-end laundry process. Visitors are not only getting to see new products, but also to catch a glimpse of what the future may look like! Little Swan, as a representative of Chinese brands, is at the forefront of the smart washing machine market.

At IFA, the washing machine maker from China is showcasing to the world the fruits of its 38 years of craftsmanship, with the Beverly II series of washing machines as the latest masterpieces. Little Swan products exhibited at the event once again served to change the popular perception among foreign consumers that Chinese-made products are cheap and of poor quality. The finely-crafted Beverly II series of products also corrects the geographical prejudice on craftsmanship - the countries of Europe and North America are not the sole masters of technology, while Chinese engineers are showing themselves to be quite impressive in what they can design and deliver.

At IFA and at similar events around the world, Little Swan is showing the world what defines a master creation, as well as the Chinese brand's determination to succeed in the international arena. Just maybe, the Beverly II lineup will be what leads a new trend in the world of domestic appliances.

"Linksys isn't new to networking large and popular gaming LANs.  Our switches are used because they are simple to deploy, provide the reliability gamers demand, and features that enable NOC administers to monitor the network in real-time to ensure lag free and high performance gaming," said Vince La Duca, Linksys product manager.  "Providing equipment that is able to handle the substantial workload of keeping attendees continuously connected to the network for four days is a great testament to the reliability we give our small business customers for everyday use."

Held at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, Washington, PAX West will continue through Sept 5 and is open to registered attendees.  To register or learn more about PAX events, visit http://west.paxsite.com/

Celebrating Your Senses With Huawei MediaPad M3

BERLIN, September 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

       Huawei's best-in-class tablet delivers uncompromising audio-visual performance &

                                      elegant design

    Huawei Consumer Business Group has today announced the launch of the new Huawei
MediaPad M3. Elegantly designed with entertainment in mind, the new tablet immerses your
senses in unparalleled audio quality and supreme visuals, raising the bar for audio-visual
performance in portable devices.

    Designed for users who don't compromise on technology, the stylish and sophisticated
MediaPad M3 makes use of world-leading expertise in audio design from Harman Kardon and
AKG to create the ultimate in A/V performance. You'll hear stunning clarity and detail in
every note of your top tunes through dual stereo speakers that dynamically switch channels
with screen rotation to ensure the most immersive sound experience possible.

    Co-designed and tuned by audio experts Harman Kardon, MediaPad M3's speakers offer an
immersive field of sound that captures every element of a tune and every moment in a
movie. Huawei's own Super Wide Sound 3.0 technology automatically differentiates between
music and video to deliver the right multimedia experience.

    Meanwhile the MediaPad M3's spectacular display offers true-to-life colours in
stunning 2560x1600 resolution, making it the best 8.4" tablet money can buy. The display
captures every vivid detail whether you are watching your favourite films or TV shows in
daylight or at night, and through a remarkable minimum brightness setting you can still
watch videos comfortably in dim light without losing any crispness in detail. In addition,
the Eye comfort mode works to filter out harmful blue light to reduce eyestrain when you
are reading in bed or a darkened room.

    An incredible 82% screen-to-body ratio makes MediaPad M3's screen the biggest in its
category, outperforming its rivals whilst still light enough to be held in just one hand.
In fact, weighing in at just 310g, the MediaPad M3 packs immense performance into this
neat space. Elegantly encased in a pure metal shell, the beautifully smooth outer casing
results in an exquisite, seamless design that is both stylish and ergonomic.

    Behind the screen the MediaPad M3 packs a considerable punch to meet the heavy demands
of even the most sophisticated experience seeker in the LTE era. Outstanding battery
performance provides up to 11 hours of FHD video playback, up to 6 hours of continuous 3D
game playing and as many as 45 hours of music playback. While a rear 8MP camera offers
photography enthusiasts the perfect tool to capture their experiences. Huawei's
world-leading fingerprint recognition and control sensor support faster unlocking for
improved security and a more convenient navigation experience.

    Richard Yu, CEO, Huawei Consumer Business Group, remarked: "The new MediaPad M3 offers
the highest standards in technology to those who seek immersive experiences in all aspects
of their day-to-day lives. This is the essence of substance over flashiness; a
sophisticated tablet packing premium sound and a striking display to let users truly
celebrate their senses through their technology."

    IFA 2016, Berlin also saw a number of other exciting announcements from Huawei
Consumer Business Group. The Huawei nova series of smartphones flawlessly combines style
and functionality at an affordable price. Following its launch earlier this year, the
flagship Huawei P9 is now catwalk-ready with stunning new Red and Blue colourways adding
to the device's much-lauded high performance camera, co-engineered with Leica, and other
market-leading features.

       
         
        Pricing: 

        4GB + 32GB WIFI    EUR349 
        4GB + 32GB LTE    EUR399 
        4GB + 64GB WIFI    EUR349 
        4GB + 64GB LTE    EUR349

Wacom Is Making the Future of Paper Notebooks: The New Bamboo Slate and Bamboo Folio Smartpads

Paper notebooks are often the last analog link within an otherwise fully digital life. With two smartpads and a range of new features in Wacom Inkspace, Wacom now offers a smooth and intuitive digital notetaking experience -- seamlessly bridging the gap between paper notes and the digital workflow.

BERLIN, Sept. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- At IFA 2016, Wacom introduces the Bamboo Slate and Bamboo Folio smartpads. Two attractive and functional designs, two different paper sizes, and the new features of the Wacom Inkspace app and cloud services, including vector output and handwriting to text, offer users a range of choices to bring ideas from paper to the cloud and into the digital workflow -- at home, at school and at work.

"Paper notebooks still play an essential role at the beginning of the idea process," said Mike Gay, Senior Vice President for Wacom's Consumer Business Unit. "They are often the last analog step within an otherwise fully digital lifestyle. So our goal was simple: add the benefits of digital technology to the paper notebook and create an intuitive tool to help make ideas, no matter where and how they start."

Making the future of paper notebooks

Bamboo Folio and Bamboo Slate seamlessly bridge the gap between paper notes and the digital life with smartphones, cloud services and PCs. The smartpads are based on Wacom's EMR (Electro Magnetic Resonance) pen technology and make use of WILL(TM), Wacom's digital ink. This allows users to start their ideas with a pen on their favorite paper and with a simple push of a button turn their handwritten notes or sketches into digital files and save them in the Wacom Inkspace app.

"The challenge of paper is that it's final and difficult to share," explains Mike Gay. "But in Wacom's Inkspace, those handwritten notes are now living digitally, so users can edit their handwriting to shape their ideas and share them." The Wacom Inkspace app works on any Bluetooth enabled iOS or Android(TM) smartphone and tablet and offers all the advantages of working digitally, including easy editing, organizing and sharing. Features like the real time mode, the undo and redo option, as well as the pressure sensitivity make it intuitive and efficient.

When connected to the cloud, Inkspace offers even more benefits with a paid subscription. Users can now export their sketches as vector (.SVG) files, making them available for editing in creative software. The handwriting to text feature now supports rich text, which means bullet points and paragraphs are captured in the text. Inkspace offers a free and a paid subscription model.

#makingthefuture

To showcase the advantages of digital notetaking and to highlight the full potential of ink-based collaboration in the cloud, Wacom invites visitors at the IFA booth and followers on social media to start #makingthefuture and share their ideas about what they think the world should look like in the future. Topics range from the future of communication to new expressions in art. A sketch note artist will combine the input into a cohesive piece of digital art. These ideas will be captured and shared in an upcoming ebook.

Innovative design for individual workflows

Bamboo Slate and Bamboo Folio are designed to meet individual demands and support different uses ranging from notetaking and light sketching to mind mapping and visual thinking. The extended line-up of smartpads includes three different versions:

    --  Bamboo Slate is a slim smartpad to quickly capture ideas. It comes in a
        small (A5 / half letter) and large (A4/ letter) format.
    --  Bamboo Folio features an integrated cover with extra slots for business
        cards and other documents. It is designed to keep notes safe and ideas
        organized and comes in a large (A4 / letter) format.
Inkspace brings the promise of digital stationery to life

Bamboo Slate and Bamboo Folio connect to the new Wacom Inkspace app, which keeps all digital notes safely stored. Here they can easily be edited and shared. The app exports notes as JPG, PNG, PDF or WILL(TM) file formats and makes them available for Bamboo Paper, Inkspace, Dropbox, Evernote and OneNote. The Inkspace app is based on WILL(TM) universal ink and can be connected to the Inkspace cloud service, which offers subscriptions to a range of features for a tailor-made suite of digital solutions.

The free Inkspace Basic subscription only requires a sign up to the free Wacom ID. It provides safe storage of 5GB in the cloud and allows easy sharing across different devices including smartphones, tablets and computers to access ideas anytime from everywhere. The advanced Inkspace Plus subscription available on the Wacom Marketplace unlocks even more features for a professional workflow. It converts handwriting to rich text, includes vector export in SVG and searches handwritten notes for further editing, quick recall and increased productivity. It offers 50 GB storage, professional sharing in teams and allows real-time collaboration in editable digital ink files. Owners of the Bamboo Folio and Bamboo Slate get a 3-month free subscription to Inkspace Plus after which they gain access to the service at a discount.

Pricing and availability

The three versions of the new Bamboo Slate and Bamboo Folio will be available for purchase online at the Wacom Estore and select retail outlets.

     letter)                        PHP 6,990

Wacom Is Making the Future of Paper Notebooks: The New Bamboo Slate and Bamboo Folio Smartpads

Paper notebooks are often the last analog link within an otherwise fully digital life. With two smartpads and a range of new features in Wacom Inkspace, Wacom now offers a smooth and intuitive digital notetaking experience -- seamlessly bridging the gap between paper notes and the digital workflow.

BERLIN, Sept. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- At IFA 2016, Wacom introduces the Bamboo Slate and Bamboo Folio smartpads. Two attractive and functional designs, two different paper sizes, and the new features of the Wacom Inkspace app and cloud services, including vector output and handwriting to text, offer users a range of choices to bring ideas from paper to the cloud and into the digital workflow -- at home, at school and at work.

"Paper notebooks still play an essential role at the beginning of the idea process," said Mike Gay, Senior Vice President for Wacom's Consumer Business Unit. "They are often the last analog step within an otherwise fully digital lifestyle. So our goal was simple: add the benefits of digital technology to the paper notebook and create an intuitive tool to help make ideas, no matter where and how they start."

Making the future of paper notebooks

Bamboo Folio and Bamboo Slate seamlessly bridge the gap between paper notes and the digital life with smartphones, cloud services and PCs. The smartpads are based on Wacom's EMR (Electro Magnetic Resonance) pen technology and make use of WILL(TM), Wacom's digital ink. This allows users to start their ideas with a pen on their favorite paper and with a simple push of a button turn their handwritten notes or sketches into digital files and save them in the Wacom Inkspace app.

"The challenge of paper is that it's final and difficult to share," explains Mike Gay. "But in Wacom's Inkspace, those handwritten notes are now living digitally, so users can edit their handwriting to shape their ideas and share them." The Wacom Inkspace app works on any Bluetooth enabled iOS or Android(TM) smartphone and tablet and offers all the advantages of working digitally, including easy editing, organizing and sharing. Features like the real time mode, the undo and redo option, as well as the pressure sensitivity make it intuitive and efficient.

When connected to the cloud, Inkspace offers even more benefits with a paid subscription. Users can now export their sketches as vector (.SVG) files, making them available for editing in creative software. The handwriting to text feature now supports rich text, which means bullet points and paragraphs are captured in the text. Inkspace offers a free and a paid subscription model.

#makingthefuture

To showcase the advantages of digital notetaking and to highlight the full potential of ink-based collaboration in the cloud, Wacom invites visitors at the IFA booth and followers on social media to start #makingthefuture and share their ideas about what they think the world should look like in the future. Topics range from the future of communication to new expressions in art. A sketch note artist will combine the input into a cohesive piece of digital art. These ideas will be captured and shared in an upcoming ebook.

Innovative design for individual workflows

Bamboo Slate and Bamboo Folio are designed to meet individual demands and support different uses ranging from notetaking and light sketching to mind mapping and visual thinking. The extended line-up of smartpads includes three different versions:

    --  Bamboo Slate is a slim smartpad to quickly capture ideas. It comes in a
        small (A5 / half letter) and large (A4/ letter) format.
    --  Bamboo Folio features an integrated cover with extra slots for business
        cards and other documents. It is designed to keep notes safe and ideas
        organized and comes in a large (A4 / letter) format.
Inkspace brings the promise of digital stationery to life

Bamboo Slate and Bamboo Folio connect to the new Wacom Inkspace app, which keeps all digital notes safely stored. Here they can easily be edited and shared. The app exports notes as JPG, PNG, PDF or WILL(TM) file formats and makes them available for Bamboo Paper, Inkspace, Dropbox, Evernote and OneNote. The Inkspace app is based on WILL(TM) universal ink and can be connected to the Inkspace cloud service, which offers subscriptions to a range of features for a tailor-made suite of digital solutions.

The free Inkspace Basic subscription only requires a sign up to the free Wacom ID. It provides safe storage of 5GB in the cloud and allows easy sharing across different devices including smartphones, tablets and computers to access ideas anytime from everywhere. The advanced Inkspace Plus subscription available on the Wacom Marketplace unlocks even more features for a professional workflow. It converts handwriting to rich text, includes vector export in SVG and searches handwritten notes for further editing, quick recall and increased productivity. It offers 50 GB storage, professional sharing in teams and allows real-time collaboration in editable digital ink files. Owners of the Bamboo Folio and Bamboo Slate get a 3-month free subscription to Inkspace Plus after which they gain access to the service at a discount.

Introducing The New Stylus Family for a Connected Life: Bamboo Omni, Bamboo Solo and Bamboo Duo

In our connected world we are constantly changing between smartphones, tablets and different operating systems to complete even simple tasks. Wacom introduces a new stylus family that allows for quick input and precise response across different mobile devices. The Bamboo Omni is a fine-tip stylus, that works instantly on most iOS and Android(TM) touchscreens with a simple twist. The re-imagined Bamboo Solo and Bamboo Duo feature a new stylish, comfortable design for precise navigation and a clean touchscreen. Now navigating or writing on a touchscreen is as intuitive and comfortable as a favorite pen.

BERLIN, Sept. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Wacom(®) redefines the stylus experience with the introduction of the Bamboo Omni, an innovative fine-tip stylus that works on most iOS and Android touchscreens, and the updated Bamboo Solo and Bamboo Duo styli. With the new line-up Wacom offers an intuitive, ergonomic and stylish solution to the challenges of touchscreens, allowing users to easily navigate through their digital lives and quickly capture their ideas.

"When a new idea crosses our minds or we quickly need to make a note, we intuitively reach for a pen. From our research we knew the Bamboo Omni, like a favorite pen, needed to be simple to use, have broad compatibility and have a fine tip," said Mike Gay, Senior Vice President for Wacom's Consumer Business Unit. "The new Bamboo Omni is the perfect pen for a connected life. It's fast -- just twist it to turn it on and you're ready to work on Android and iOS touchscreens." The fine tip and its broad compatibility mean that someone using the Bamboo Omni can immediately transition from drawing on a Snapchat or WeChat photo on a smartphone, to marking up a PDF or creating a list on a tablet.

Bamboo Omni -- The stylus with a twist

This fine-tip stylus is designed for quick note taking and provides an intuitive experience in note-taking apps, such as Bamboo Paper. A simple twist and the Bamboo Omni is ready to use -- no pairing needed. The stylus instantly works across iOS and Android touchscreen devices.

The stylus uses the innovative RES (Reflective Electro Static) technology and is charged via USB. The 1.9 mm thin tip is durable and soft on the screen. The Bamboo Omni has an ergonomic triangular design and a premium soft-touch surface that feels comfortable and well-balanced. The stylus is available in black or white.

Bamboo Solo and Bamboo Duo -- A better touchscreen experience

The Bamboo Solo and Bamboo Duo have a fresh new look and, like the Bamboo Omni, feature a comfortable triangle shape and soft-touch surface. The Bamboo Solo and Bamboo Duo allow for a more precise, smudge-free interaction with all touchscreen devices. The long-lasting and replaceable carbon fiber tip works smoothly on all touchscreens including iOS, Android or Windows® smartphones, tablets or PCs. The Bamboo Duo combines this with a replaceable ballpoint pen added at the opposite end of the pen, turning it into a two-in-one stylus for fluid writing on screens and on paper.

#makingthefuture

To share the ideas that the new stylus line enables, Wacom is celebrating the innovators worldwide with #makingthefuture. Live from IFA, Wacom invites attendees to create and share their vision of the future using Wacom's tools, including the new stylus line, the Bamboo smartpads and the new cloud-based Inkspace. Digital and in-booth visitors can start #makingthefuture by sharing ideas that range from the future of communication to the future of art, food or tech. A sketch note artist will combine the input into a cohesive piece of digital art. These ideas will be captured and shared in an upcoming ebook.

Hikvision Introduces Advanced Thermal Cameras for Visually-Challenging Applications

HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Continually seeking to push technology forward in high-end surveillance markets, Hikvision announces new Thermal Cameras, adding to their world-renowned security products. Customers worldwide will be excited to learn of Hikvision's complete product line-ups for vertical solutions.

All objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit some degree of thermal radiation. This kind of radiation, which is not visible to the human eye, can be detected by thermal sensors. Hikvision thermal sensors remain unaffected by darkness or fickle weather conditions such as rain, fog, or snow. These cameras make a great platform on which to build more efficient 24/7 surveillance systems. 

Superior Images

Thermal products carry surveillance abilities that traditional visual imaging alone is not able to provide. Integrated with their self-developed thermal imaging module, Hikvision thermal cameras capture vivid, high-resolution HD video of moving objects at resolutions up to 640 x 512 pixels, unhindered by either darkness or inclement weather. These cameras also offer greater detail for post-event investigation.

Hikvision Thermal Cameras feature three innovative functionalities in image quality enhancement: Auto Gain Control, Digital Detail Enhancement, and 3D Digital Noise Reduction, further to make images even sharper.

Smart Functions

Equipped with onboard video analytics, Hikvision thermal cameras boast a full quiver of "smart" features, including line crossing detection and intrusion detection for perimeter protection. Additionally, temperature-anomaly and fire detection effectively help prevent fires, structural hazards, and many other threats to persons and property.

Thermal imaging is critical in open and expansive areas like borders, coastlines, and forests. They are quite at home in applications such as perimeter patrol, ports and harbors, critical infrastructure, processing and manufacturing plants, and various similar and demanding security environments.

Choice of Dual Lens Model

Hikvision Thermal Cameras are available in single and dual-lens models. The dual-lens models add optical cameras alongside thermal cameras, providing thermal and standard images at the same time. This enables security personnel to better identify target objects. The optical lens helps to capture images at up to 1920 x 1080p resolution day and night. The Smart Tracking function is also available in Speed Dome model cameras.

For more information on the Hikvision Thermal Camera line up, please stop by Hikvision booth at Security Essen, #2A34, in Essen, Germany, on September 27 - 30.

The Altitude32 Honored As Best High-End Home Theater Product 2016-2017

PARIS, Sept. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Trinnov Altitude(32) has just been selected the Best Product 2016-2017 in the High-End Home Theater category by the European Imaging and Sound Association. For 34 years, EISA magazines from all over Europe and the Home Theater Audio Expert Group have been jointly reviewing and nominating products, and subsequently selecting the best for this prestigious award

The company started writing the product specification for the Altitude(32) at the end of 2013 with the intent of establishing a new reference in the High-End AV processor market by leveraging the company's unique know-how and core technologies. Within less than a year, the Altitude(32) was introduced at CEDIA with the world's first Dolby Atmos for the Home demonstration, featuring more than 12 discrete channels.

After 2½ years of intensive work and commitment, we are excited and honored to receive this unique and meaningful recognition.

Here is the citation from EISA's president Paul Miller:

"Serious home cinema enthusiasts seeking the very best experience need look no further than Trinnov Audio's Altitude(32). Able to output up to 32 discrete channels, this is no ordinary home cinema processor. Advanced, fully-customizable room optimization and equalization enables it to tailor its sound to the specific speaker layout and characteristics of a home theatre, and it will map any Dolby Atmos, DTS:X or Auro-3D native feed without breaking into a sweat. The outcome is a reference-class performance, with the Altitude(32) bringing astonishing clarity and definition, scale and presence, to movie soundtracks. Software-based architecture means it is ready for future updates, and despite its state-of-the-art feature set, operation is always easy with networked control from a PC, smartphone or tablet."

Richard Stevenson, journalist from Home Cinema Choice, the EISA Magazine partner in the UK reviewed the Altitude(32) in last month's issue. He concluded:

"How to sum up the Altitude(32)? There's probably no more flexible AV processor currently available for home cinema. Its ability to switch fleet-footed between sound formats is remarkable; its sound is precise, authoritative and balanced. Yes, it's expensive, but the best things often are."

Jochen Schmitt reviewed the Altitude(32) in the July issue of Heimkino in Germany and ended his article with the following:

"The AV processor Altitude(32) from the French manufacturer Trinnov is the ultimate machine to bring professional standards of fidelity to home theaters. Trinnov's Optimizer technology works perfectly and makes it possible to handle even the most complex systems. Our new reference."

Finally, a recently-published review by Doug Blackburn of the US-based magazine Widescreen Review (not a member of EISA) describes his experience with the Altitude(32) thusly:

"The Altitude(32) made music sound so good that one-hour evaluations turned into three-hour listening fests. Sometimes I would pick several albums in a row that were so compelling to hear at this level of performance that I would end up listening to the entire album rather than a track or two....

"You may be thinking ahead and assuming if music sounded that good, then movie sound was equally impressive. Well, hold on for just a second. That's a bit presumptive. Presumptive but correct. Movie sound was impeccable. It didn't matter if the soundtrack was 5.1, 7.1, Atmos, DTS:X, or Auro-3D, they all sounded great....

"If the Altitude32 fits within your equipment budget, you can't go wrong. The combination of precision, sound quality, flexibility, adjustability, and stability the Altitude(32) offers are unbeatable."

More reviews of the Altitude(32) from EISA partners (and others) will be released over the next several months, including magazines from Finland, Italy, Spain and Sweden.

DropIn, Inc. launches exclusive beta for on-demand live video drones (featuring two-way audio)

Expanding their suite of live video capabilities for policy acquisition and management for insurers.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DropIn, Inc. has launched (in exclusive beta) on-demand live video drone deployment for insurers. Unique to DropIn, the stream features two-way audio, allowing the adjuster to direct the drone pilot to the exact area they'd like to cover, placing them in the driver's seat - while remaining in their office.

This technological advancement presents another convenience for insurers seeking to preview risk for underwriting, supplementing any current live video they use for policy acquisition and claim management purposes. Drones not only minimize the risk to claims professionals during damage assessment rooftop inspections, but in the instance of a catastrophe, adjusters will no longer be restricted from accessing an insured property. The live-streamed aerial coverage also helps insurers process more claims in a shorter period of time.

"With the fires in the west, and the flooding down south, providing adjusters access to drones will save a lot of time and frustration for the claimant experiencing the loss, and the adjuster trying to help," says founder Louis Ziskin.

At present, DropIn offers solutions for risk evaluation, fraud reduction, and data analysis during the complete risk life cycle. From the time of the quote, to purchase, claim, and ultimately renewal, insurers can communicate with their customers in a multitude of ways. These include, direct to customer, field, and partner resources, or DropIn's on-demand workforce of Droperators and Drone Pilots (who act as a proxy, and third party verification).

About DropIn

The DropIn platform enables insurers to use on-demand live video for policy acquisition and management by harnessing the power of the video camera inside the smartphone that nearly everyone carries. It eliminates the need for the underwriter/claims adjuster to travel and provides access to customer with unprecedented immediacy. Live video options include direct to customer, direct to field or partner resource, our on-demand workforce known as Droperators, and on-demand drones.

Jabra Utilizes Valencell's Biometric Sensor Technology for First True Wireless Earbuds Certified with PerformTek® Accuracy

Jabra Elite Sport wireless earbuds will monitor fitness biometrics with unmatched, clinical-grade accuracy to deliver unique fitness insights to users

RALEIGH, N.C. and BERLIN, Sept. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Valencell, the leading innovator in wearable biometric data sensor technology, and Jabra, a world leader in the development of innovative communications and audio solutions, today announced that Valencell's PerformTek(®) technology has been integrated into the new "Jabra Elite Sport" true wireless biometric earbuds, which launched this week at IFA 2016 in Berlin, Germany.

Jabra Elite Sport true wireless sports earbuds are the next generation sports & fitness hearables and the first true wireless earbuds proven to deliver clinical-grade accuracy. The biometric earbuds incorporate Valencell's patented PerformTek biometric measurement technology, which enables an end-user to monitor multiple personal biometrics such as: continuous heart rate, distance, speed, cadence, VO(2) and VO(2) max, among other biometrics. This is the second Jabra product to come to market featuring PerformTek technology, following the Jabra Sport Pulse, which launched in 2014.

"We are starting to see more wireless earbuds on the market as part of a larger trend to provide end-users with wearables and hearables in form factors that fit their lifestyles," said Dr. Steven LeBoeuf, President and Co-founder of Valencell. "But the most interesting consumer use cases in sports and fitness require high accuracy for biometric sensing. And as form factors get smaller, it is critical to ensure that these devices provide accurate and continually interesting health insights. Valencell is continuing to innovate in biometrics for wearables and hearables by providing market leaders like Jabra with the most accurate and flexible biometric sensor technology in the world, enabling them to deliver hearables with the accuracy needed to deliver a compelling consumer experience."

Sales of Bluetooth headphones surpassed sales of wired headphones in the US in the first half of 2016, according to The NPD Group.

Jabra Elite Sport is designed specifically for sports and fitness activities, and will enable the end-user to monitor fitness levels and train with unmatched accuracy. And building on Jabra heritage for premium sound products, these state-of-the-art earbuds deliver superior audio quality for calls and music without wires. The Jabra Elite Sport earbuds also feature a three-hour battery life with charging case that will recharge the earbuds two times providing a total of 9 hours of use on one full charge. Elite Sport users can connect to the Jabra Sport Life app or to their fitness app of choice that supports BLE.

When used with the Elite Sport, the Jabra Sport Life app enables in-ear voice coaching, integrated training management, and precise fitness algorithms enable the measurement of fitness levels to track fitness progress.

"This product is the result of a strong, ongoing partnership between Jabra and Valencell and our shared commitment to providing end-users with innovative, next-generation wearables and hearables that fit their active lifestyles," said Calum MacDougall, Senior Vice President, Marketing for Jabra. "Valencell is the industry leader in biometric accuracy for wearables, so we are confident that the product will exceed user expectations, and enable an outstanding user experience."

Valencell PerformTek(®) sensor systems are the most accurate, robust and flexible technology available today, powering more biometric hearables and wearables on the market than any other company. The technology gives hearable devices the ability to continuously and accurately measure blood flow signals even during extreme physical activity or when the optical signals are weak. These signals can be translated into accurate, motion-tolerant biometric data, including continuous heart rate, VO2 and VO2 max, resting heart rate, heart rate response, heart rate recovery, continuous energy expenditure (calorie burn), cardiac efficiency and heart rate variability assessments.

Valencell licenses its biometric sensor technology through product licensing and patent licensing, to enable customers to create custom-designed biometric hearable and wearable devices. Valencell also introduced Benchmark(TM), a turnkey biometric sensor system with the complete PerformTek technology package ready for immediate integration into wearable and hearable devices.

Valencell has the most cited patent portfolio in wearable PPG in the industry, which includes 35 patents granted and more than 70 additional patents pending.

Licensing Valencell's technology also gives Jabra access to Valencell's global ecosystem of manufacturing partners and Valencell's Biometrics Lab, one of the most experienced biometrics labs in the world, for testing and validation of the Elite Sport product.

The accuracy of Valencell's PerformTek technology has been independently validated by numerous research institutions, including Duke University, NC State University, and the American College of Sports Medicine.

Jabra unveils the most technically advanced true wireless sports earbuds

Jabra launches true wireless earbuds under its new Elite franchise with the promise of superior sound, strong battery life, and advanced personalized fitness analysis

- Superior sound with four microphones for intelligent switching during calls

- Up to three hours of stereo music and calls, plus six hours additional charge from the carry case

- Secure, cord-free wearing style with dual or single earbud use

- Advanced personalized fitness analysis using in-ear heart rate monitor

LOWELL, Mass., Sept. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Drawing on the heritage of the GN Group's long-standing headset and hearing aid expertise, Jabra continues to pioneer unparalleled sound capabilities with the launch of the unrivaled Elite franchise.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160901/403515

The first product to market from the franchise, Jabra Elite Sport are the most technically advanced, true wireless sports earbuds* available. They are the ultimate training aid that delivers freedom of movement on any terrain. The fully sweat and waterproof Jabra Elite Sport are packed with advanced features including ground-breaking in-ear fitness analysis, strong battery life and great music for anyone who wants to work out.

The Elite Sport supports all major smartphone operating systems (both Android & iOS) with a focus on in-call experience. The earbuds analyze external sounds and automatically switch to the earbud with least background noise. These state-of-the-art earbuds deliver superior audio quality for calls and music without wires.

True wireless for true freedom

Designed with true freedom in mind, Jabra Elite Sport delivers a cord-free wearing style whether you choose to use one or both earbuds. They offer outstanding stereo sound for calls and music, as well as full sports functionality.

With an array of ear gels and ear wings presented in-box, as well as foam tips for passive noise-cancellation and enhanced bass, you can be confident of a secure, comfortable fit. At the same time, audio pass-through allows you to tune-in to surroundings at the touch of a button.

When it comes to phone calls, Jabra Elite Sport benefits from two integrated microphones in each earbud. One captures your voice and the other focuses on external noise. Together, the earbuds overlay the two feeds, identify the background noise and remove it, allowing you to take calls without interruption, listen to your favorite songs or hear in-ear training tips. If a call comes in while running, voice controls and audio prompts let you manage calls without having to touch your phone. The earbud will run up to three hours of calls and music when fully charged - more than enough for most workouts - plus up to six hours of additional charge from the compact carry-case.

Workout without wires

With 77 percent** of people preferring to train without wires, (to avoid the cable getting caught and pulling the earbuds out), and 69 percent** regularly listening to music as they workout, it's no surprise the first offering in the Jabra Elite true-wireless franchise comes with sports credentials.

Jabra Elite Sport delivers the most comprehensive range of audio training tools to ensure you have the perfect training companion with you, whatever your fitness level or work-out regimen preference. This includes advanced personalized fitness analysis thanks to an in-ear heart rate monitor with 90%+ accuracy and an integrated app that offers automatic fitness testing (VO2 Max measurement), race-time predictor and recovery advisor. The Jabra Sport Life app (iTunes and Google Play) delivers these updates via real-time in-ear coaching to ensure an uninterrupted workout.

The personalized VO2 Max data generated by Jabra Elite Sport, and captured by the app, allows you to track your fitness development over time. It uses intelligent in-ear coaching to provide real-time feedback based on your heart rate and fitness level. When you've finished your workout, the Jabra Sport Life app provides a range of information to help you improve your fitness level in the future, including distance covered, pace, route, calories burnt and training effect.

As a training partner, Jabra Elite Sport has the added assurance of a three year extended warranty against sweat***, and being IP67 rated, is tested to work for at least 30 minutes while submerged in up to 3 feet of water.

Medical grade credentials

3Doodler Launches Game-changing PRO, the First Professional 3D Printing Pen

BERLIN, September 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Launching At IFA 2016 With Accompanying Specialty Plastics, Including Wood, Copper,
Bronze, Nylon, and Polycarbonate

    3Doodler [http://3doodlerpro.com ], maker of the original 3D printing pen, today
announces the industry's most advanced, professional-grade 3D printing pen, the 3Doodler
PRO. The sleek tool is designed for creative professionals such as architects, engineers
and artists, and is ideal for prototyping designs, concept development, and communicating
their creative vision in unique 3D form.

    Unlike other pens on the market, the new PRO plastics include wood, copper, bronze,
nylon, and polycarbonate, complementing the 65+ compatible varieties of plastic from the
3Doodler Create range. The PRO is the only 3D printing pen that can use these new
materials to their full potential.

    Maxwell Bogue, Co-Founder & CEO said: "Beyond the numerous upgrades, what really makes
the PRO so unique is how the device and materials come together to answer the needs of
professionals. When we started the 3Doodler journey back in 2013, we had world-leading
architects telling us "I want to do this". "This" was a quick wave of the pen in the air,
with plastic solidifying in its wake. With new materials like polycarbonate that dream is
a reality. The high-performance PRO can be used for the most advanced of purposes to bring
concepts to life, and become an integral part of the creative process."

    The PRO boasts new features including tactile adjustable dials for temperature and
speed, an adjustable fan for user control over the cooling of the plastics, and an LCD
display to show the pen's settings. Encased in a lightweight carbon fiber shell, the pen's
radically re-engineered drive system is designed specifically for the range of new
materials exclusive to the PRO. In combination with the high-speed fan, polycarbonate
plastic can be used to create a solid structure in one swift gesture, making it ideal to
quickly sketch out blueprints, either on a surface or in the air.

    Daniel Cowen, Co-President, said: "The 3Doodler has outsold any other 3D printing
device on the global market. We now have pens specifically designed for crafters, adults,
children, and with this, the most advanced pen ever, professionals. Whether you're eight
or 80 years old, hobbyist or professional, the 3Doodler range of products has never been
more inclusive. After being first to market, we are now pushing the boundaries of 3D
creation to ever more users and use-cases."

    The pen is packaged in a premium storage case, together with accompanying accessories,
ensuring the professional user has everything they need to create their masterpiece,
including a portable battery pack, Nozzle Set, DoodlePad, and 100 strands of specialty
plastic.

    3Doodler PRO Specifications 

       
        - Carbon fiber shell
        - Temperature and speed adjustment: Adjust temperature from 100degree(s)C to 250degree(s)
          C, speed settings between 10% and 100%; all via tactile adjustable dials
        - LCD display showing the desired temperature and indicators for each level
        - Side switch to adjust the cooling fan: Off, Low or High
        - A radically redesigned drive system for use with professional materials and filaments
        - New larger drive to keep the PRO going for longer with more intensive use
        - Plastics range: wood, copper, bronze, nylon, and polycarbonate
        - Priced from US$249

    Since the launch of the first pen in 2013, 3Doodler has taken the world by storm,
selling more than 750,000 units around the globe, including the most recent Start and
Create versions. The world's fascination with the most successful 3D printing pen on the
market is unparalleled - with 3Doodler featuring on The Simpsons, artist Rachel Goldsmith
presenting 3Doodled artwork to Bill Clinton, and the first 3Doodler Awards launching this
year. With its new range of pens, 3Doodler will only broaden and deepen that reach and
creativity by allowing professionals within various industries such as architecture,
automotive, medicine, fashion, etc. to experience seamless 3D creation.

    As of September 1st 2016, 3Doodler PRO will be available starting at US$249, first

Qualcomm Announces Connectivity and Reference Platform Solutions for Next Generation Home Entertainment Experiences

-- Integrated Wi-Fi / Bluetooth Chip and New Media Box Reference Platform Enable a Complete Home Entertainment Ecosystem, Bringing Seamless Content Streaming and Responsive Gaming to the Living Room --

BERLIN, Sept. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) today announced at IFA 2016 that its subsidiary, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., is introducing two solutions for home entertainment, the QCA9379 combo chip with support for dual-stream Wi-Fi® 802.11ac and Bluetooth® 4.2, and a 4K Ultra HD media box reference platform using the flagship Qualcomm® Snapdragon(TM) 820 processor. Both solutions, designed to support interactive and engaging media experiences in upcoming streaming devices, set-top-boxes and smart TV products, extend the Company's portfolio for home entertainment which also includes the CSR102x Bluetooth® Smart System-on-Chip (SoC) used in wireless remote controls and accessories.

The QCA9379 chip with integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth extends the Company's portfolio of connectivity solutions for smart TVs and home entertainment devices. The combo chip features Bluetooth 4.2 with data length extensions to wirelessly connect with remote controls and gaming accessories, overcoming the line-of-sight limitations of traditional infrared remotes and enabling advanced functionality such as voice commands. The QCA9379 is designed to interoperate with Qualcomm Technologies' Bluetooth Smart 4.2 SoC for remote controls and accessories, the CSR102x, delivering an end-to-end ecosystem solution that helps manufacturers rapidly develop easy-to-use, responsive home entertainment and gaming products with long battery life in accessories and optional support for voice.

The chip also features the newest Wi-Fi 802.11ac standard with receive support for Multi-User MIMO, allowing fast and seamless access to bandwidth-intensive online content such as 4K Ultra HD video. A new higher transmit power mode improves performance and wireless range versus prior solutions, facilitating robust connectivity across the home even through walls, floors, or in remote areas. The product's dual-stream capabilities improve Wi-Fi performance in scenarios requiring concurrent connectivity, for example, receiving online video in a media box and simultaneously casting it to an external display or projector.

The QCA9379 includes technology to manage operation of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in the same radio band, helping prioritize delay-sensitive transmissions, for example voice commands from a speech-enabled remote, or the push of a fire-button in a gaming pad, even under loaded wireless network conditions. Deep sleep modes with extreme low-power consumption, wake-on-wireless and wake-on-Bluetooth features in the QCA9379 provide superior power efficiency. Also, the integration of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, power amplifier and low-noise amplifier in a single chip allows manufacturers to optimize for cost.

QCA9379 joins Qualcomm Technologies' family of solutions for smart TV and home entertainment connectivity, with well over 100 million units from leading brands shipped using the Company's connectivity chips.

Qualcomm Technologies also introduced a 4K Ultra HD media box reference platform featuring its flagship Snapdragon 820 processor.
