hey everyone airon Elijah here Gadget
0:08
Hunter here with camac and I'm at the
0:10
Pogo booth and they have a product here
0:12
called the Pogo Connect and basically
0:15
this is a Bluetooth pen that lets you
0:16
interact with your iPad now I'm a big
0:18
fan of these types of things because I'm
0:20
a huge artwork fan and I love seeing
0:21
people creating artwork on their iPads
0:23
they gets a brilliant Med medium to use
0:25
your artistic capabilities on so Peter
0:28
is going to tell us a little bit about
0:29
the Pogo connction just started shipping
0:30
in October right that's right October
0:32
31st was the first day we shipped out oh
0:35
wow so almost November November and uh
0:38
tell me a little bit about what the pen
0:40
does sure the pen is a pressure
0:41
sensitive pen and this is really great
0:43
for digital artists because it gives you
0:45
that tablet like experience right on
0:47
your iPad and it's amazing to draw and
0:50
and have a sensitive pressure experience
0:52
and and see the work immediately right
0:54
on your iPad uh the other great thing
0:56
that we really wanted to do for digital
0:58
artists was to allow you to rest your
1:00
hand on the iPad while you're drawing
1:02
because it's really not comfortable
1:03
honestly to hold your hand in the bezel
1:05
and try to draw in the middle of the
1:07
iPad so this gives you the freedom to
1:09
rest your hand on the iPad draw on it
1:11
and gives you that amazing pressure
1:13
sensitivity now it has Bluetooth built
1:15
in and you said it was Bluetooth 4.0 so
1:17
it's ultra low power can you tell me how
1:19
the Bluetooth uh interacts with the iPad
1:21
like what it's used for sure the
1:23
Bluetooth is used to transmit the
1:24
pressure information down it's also used
1:27
uh to calculate um when the pen strong
1:30
so the iPad knows to only respond to the
1:32
pen and not to your fingers and then
1:34
also the pen has an undo button which I
1:37
thought was unique uh did you guys have
1:38
that on previous models so you can
1:40
actually just hit a button and undo like
1:41
a drawing that you just did in case you
1:43
screwed up it's really handy I screw up
1:45
a lot so I know I love it um and yeah it
1:48
does two things it lets you uh undo with
1:50
the Press of a button um and it also has
1:52
a little LED on that that displays the
1:54
drawing color that you're drawing in so
1:56
that's a lot of fun too oh I didn't even
1:57
notice that yes that's why why I was
1:59
glowing white and I was drawing on a
2:00
white background and I thought my pen
2:02
was
2:03
broken Okay cool so uh started shipping
2:05
