IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tropical Software has announced TopXNotes touch 1.2.6, an update to their award-winning personal note managing family for Mac, iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. TopXNotes touch for iPhone features basic note creation and editing in landscape and portrait modes, direct emailing of notes from the app, backup/restore to the device, clickable hot links, and note synchronization with TopXNotes for Mac. This version has numerous fixes and improvements.

Atlantic Beach, Florida - TopXNotes touch 1.2.6 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, with NoteZoom, is available in the Apple iTunes Store. With the release of 1.2.2 we added 4-way sorting to the NoteOrganizer (note list.) TopXNotes touch 1.2.6 is our most stable, easiest to use version of TopXNotes touch, with performance enhancements, bug fixes, and a NoteSync process that is easy to set up. The TopXNotes family will keep your notes synchronized between TopXNotes for Mac and TopXNotes Touch for iPhone and iPod touch.

TopXNotes touch 1.2.6 has major improvements to our WiFi based NoteSync process for improved efficiency, stability and performance including improved handling of large files, files with many notes and improved handling of other conditions.

Finally, TopXNotes touch 1.2.6 now checks for compatible NoteSync services between Mac and iOS device and will not attempt sync between incompatible versions. If you suspect a problem be sure you have the latest versions on iOS and Mac.

This release is the latest advance in a series of companion products we plan to release for Apple touch devices. Be sure to also try our note organizing solution for Mac notes, TopXNotes for Mac, today.

TopXNotes touch features note creation and editing in landscape and portrait modes, emailing a note, backup/restore to the device, clickable hot links, and note synchronization (NoteSync) with TopXNotes for Mac. You also have full access to all fonts and font sizes Apple offers in iOS. Now you can also have your notes "on the go", create new notes, edit notes, delete some and keep them in sync with your Mac's notes.

Previous changes to NoteOrganizer (note list) allows it to be sorted by note title or date, ascending or descending for either. Other changes include changing the user interface default fonts to a more popular font. The NoteOrganizer list titles, list dates, search, email, and the default note font are now the preferred iOS family font (Helvetica.) Also in a previous TopXNotes touch release we made even more changes to accommodate retina display and new screen sizes in iPhone 5 and iPad 3.

This release of TopXNotes touch for iPhone and iPod touch, with retina graphics updates, compliments the release of TopXNotes 1.8, the latest update to its award-winning personal note manager for Macintosh. When combined with TopXNotes for Mac customers can synchronize notes between one Mac and multiple devices running TopXNotes touch including iPhone, iPod touch and/or iPad.

TopXNotes touch also works perfectly with Apple's latest iOS 7 and TopXNotes touch even supports the latest iOS spell checking. With NoteZoom you can adjust the font size on the go as you hurry to the next destination. Included in NoteZoom is the ability to choose from all of the fonts supported in the iOS.

Device Requirements:

DotPen - Redefining drawing and writing on tablets and smartphones - Published on 06/30/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Veteran Silicon Valley product developers, Dot-Tec today announce their new Kickstarter project to bring a new touch interface writing instrument dubbed "DotPen." DotPen actually feels and writes just like a pen, does not require special software, and works with any iOS, Android, and Windows touch interface device. The Dot Pen at 143 mm long, feels like a real pen and features a unique 1.9 mm Active-Quill tip producing amazing fluid pin-point writing accuracy.

San Francisco, California - Today, Dot-Tec announces their new Kickstarter project to bring a new touch interface writing instrument dubbed "DotPen." DotPen actually feels and writes just like a pen, does not require special software, and works with any iOS, Android, and Windows touch interface device.

Numerous stylus pens have been introduced to the market but have fallen short of user expectations. The traditional stylus has a mushy rubber nub that too easily pops off, functions inaccurately due to the tip size, and is simply not designed well enough to draw or write with. DotPen directly solves these issues. The Dot Pen at 143 mm long feels like a real pen and features a unique 1.9 mm Active-Quill tip producing amazing fluid pin-point writing accuracy. Powered by a single AAA battery, DotPen provides up to 12 hours of continuous latency-free drawing and writing.

"We love our iPads and Android tablets, as creative people we use them to take notes, make sketches, and even draw works of art," Says Andrew Ngo, Dot-Tec designer. "We played with many capacitive pens, but they just don't work well - Poor accuracy, clumsy fat rubber writing points, horrible latency, and lousy designs. We wanted a high-quality pen that feels authentic and simply works well."

Works with virtually any device:
DotPen has been tested with a wide range of tablets and smartphones. Powered by "MagicTouch" technology, DotPen does not rely on special pre-installed software or specific apps. With a touch of a button, DotPen instantly activates to work across any device using capacitive touch.

Works with the top apps:
DotPen works independently of special software or special settings in apps. So it virtually works with any app, including popular apps such as Adobe Photoshop Touch, Evernote, ProCreate, and many more.

1.9 mm Active-Quill:
Many capacitive touch pens have cheap rubber tips that easily fall off and feel mushy and sluggish. DotPen introduces a unique Active-Quill writing tip. Crafted from a durable thermoplastic, the Active-Quill tip has an extremely low coefficient of friction which glides effortlessly over glass displays with zero latency. This precision fine point tip feels remarkably like a real pen and provides stunning clarity of resolution for both drawing and writing.

Precision Jeweler Quality:
Dot-Pen is made of precision CNC machined anodized aluminum alloy and a durable soft-touch rubber writing grip. Built to last and built for effortless writing and sketching.
