Wacom announces the Cintiq 13HD: a 13-inch pen display with Pro Pen in tow for $999

Sure, Wacom's Cintiq 24HD is an excellent piece of kit for design pros, but the unit is quite the behemoth and the 22-inch offering still requires a lot of desk space. There's no need to worry about that anymore, though, as the graphics peripheral outfit has outed the Cintiq 13HD: a 13-inch HD pen display with an adjustable stand and a retooled Pro Pen. Much like its larger siblings, the 13HD offers customizable ExpressKeys and Rocker Ring to keep that workflow as efficient as possible. The aforementioned stand can be situated flat or positioned at angles of 22, 35, and 50 degrees for that next Illustrator session. Details are scarce on the full list of improvements for the Pro Pen, but we do know that it sports 2,048 levels of sensitivity and tilt recognition to boot. If all of that sounds too good to resist, these bad boys will start shipping in early April with a price tag of $1,000 or £749.99 (incl. VAT). The full press release and a couple more snapshots await just past the break.

Explore This 3D, Neon Map of the Internet Right From Your Phone

Source: http://gizmodo.com/5990975/explore-this-3d-neon-map-of-the-internet-right-from-your-phone

Right now, as you read this, you are cruising through a mind-numbingly complex pathway of wires and cables that shoots bits of data from point-to-point around the globe. And Peer 1's Map of the Internet lets you see what it looks like...as a neon disco map.

Available for Android and iOS, tablets and phones alike, Peer 1's Map of the Internet shows all the points and nodes of the Internet in one of two ways. First, you can look at all those colored dots mapped out on a standard globe. Or, you can look at the whole thing in a big jellyfish-lookin' hierarchical map. And in addition to just swiping around and gawking, you can tap different nodes for information or even perform a traceroute from your own network to get a bearing on where you are.

The Map of the Internet is a fantastic and beautiful few minutes of fun, and it's free so you've got nothing to lose. So go grab a copy (Google Play, App Store) for your device and take a deep dive. [DVICE]

Samsung puts Exynos 5 Octa into production: guess who's the first customer

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/15/samsung-puts-exynos-5-octa-into-mass-production/

That Galaxy S 4 isn't going to compute tasks through sheer force of will, you know. Just a day after Samsung unveiled the smartphone as its inaugural Exynos 5 Octa device, the company has confirmed that the not-really-eight-core ARM processor should be in mass production during the second quarter of the year, or between April and June. There aren't many more details to share beyond what the company mentioned at CES, but that doesn't diminish what could be a best-of-all-worlds processor: the automatic switching between four Cortex-A15 and four Cortex-A7 cores should give it a performance edge over many of its peers while reducing power consumption by up to 70 percent. We also know that the Octa's graphics performance has largely caught up to peers versus earlier Exynos 4 designs, as Imagination Technologies has confirmed that its PowerVR SGX544MP is providing enough muscle to double 3D performance over the creaky Mali-400 in the Exynos 4 Quad. About the only mystery left is whether or not many companies beyond Samsung will get a chance at some Exynos 5 Octa silicon, although there's one or two

iRig Recorder arrives on Android, ready for your broadcasting needs

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/15/irig-recorder-android-app/

Catching up to its iOS rival, IK Multimedia's iRig recorder app is now available on Google Play. Compatible with all your existing iRig mics and peripherals, the app is tailored to ensuring all your audio is suitably organized by date or location -- it even saves a backup version for those all-important recording sessions. There's also a waveform editor available as an in-app purchase ($4.99), adding the ability to select, crop and loop on your phone. You can also reduce background noise as well as speed up (or slow down) your files without affecting the timbre. Recording time is dependent on how much storage space available on your Android, so those phones with expandable memory are at a slight advantage here. If your audio needs a bit of work, you can pick up the app at the source starting today.
