PebbleOS 1.10 supports third-party watch faces, sorts out iOS issues

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Pebble OS 11 supports thirdparty watch faces, sorts out iOS issues" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/pebble-smartwatch-review-angle-1365787634.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> Pebble has been on a rapid cadence with smartwatch updates to justify those crowdfunded dollars, and it's not letting up just because watch shipments are well underway. PebbleOS 1.10 has arrived with support for custom watch faces built using the matching SDK. The revamp will be especially helpful for iOS users -- we see several fixes for crashes, permissions and power in store. Everyone gets options to disable backlighting and vibrations in certain conditions, too. As such, there's every reason to fire up the Pebble app for an upgrade, even if it's just for some visual variety.</div></div>

Logitech rebrands gaming line with same name, announces bounty of peripherals

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Logitech rebrands gaming line with same name, announces bounty of peripherals " data-src-height="413" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/gseries88783.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Logitech's G-prefixed gaming peripherals have been around for awhile, but they were never part of an <i>official</i> gaming line. That changes today, with the introduction of Logitech G, the company's official brand for PC gaming peripherals. "The overriding principal of G is that science wins," Logitech told us. "Just as gamers are compelled to beat levels, our engineers are compelled to test scientific theories." A fancy way to say that Logitech's gaming hardware is built using the latest technology.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">The company points to its new line of peripherals as an example: eight products featuring hydrophobic coatings, Logitech's exclusive Delta Zero sensor technology and buttons capable of surviving over 20 million toggles. Headlining the new series are the G700s rechargeable gaming mouse and G19s keyboard, which promise anti-stick surfaces, more than a dozen programmable buttons apiece and $100 and $200 price tags, respectively. The company's rounding out its line up with a pair of audio devices, too -- the G430 and G230 surround and stereo gaming headsets. That's just the tip of the iceberg of course -- head past the break for Logitech's full roster of G series peripherals.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Gallery Image" height="426" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/shavingtime01.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="426" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/shavingtime03.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="426" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/shavingtime04.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="426" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/shavingtime08.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="426" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/shavingtime10.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="426" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/shavingtime13.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="426" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/shavingtime15.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="426" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/shavingtime16.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="426" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/shavingtime36.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="426" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/shavingtime43.jpg" width="640" /></div></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uiPKTFLKx6o?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>

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

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Image" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/untitled-1-1363560509.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">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 <span>£749.99 (incl. VAT)</span><span>. The full press release and a couple more snapshots await just past the break. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span> </span><img alt="Gallery Image" height="500" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/cintiq-13hd-left-view.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="427" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dtk1300rearviewrgb.jpg" width="640" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Gallery Image" height="427" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dtk1300penwcasergb.jpg" width="640" /> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" id="pr_text" style="text-align: left;"> Wacom's Cintiq Line Draws Attention with its Slim, New 13-inch Interactive Pen Display<br /> The Cintiq 13HD offers creative professionals a compact interactive pen display with high quality HD resolution and improved pen feel for a digital experience consistent with Wacom's family of Cintiqs<br /> Vancouver, Wash. - Mar. 19, 2013 - Wacom® today announces the Cintiq® 13HD, a new addition to its lineup of Cintiq interactive pen displays aimed at creative professionals working in areas such as design, art and image editing.

Samsung Galaxy S 4 Game Pad supports 6.3-inch devices, raises eyebrows

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Samsung Galaxy S 4 Game Pad to support up to 6.3-inch devices, raises eyebrows" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/samsung-gs4-gamepad-6-3-inches.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">We noticed that Samsung's planned Game Pad accessory has an expanding clamp designed to accommodate screen sizes larger than the 5-inch Galaxy S 4 being used as its showcase, but it wasn't clear just how far it would go. Now that there's an official accessory page on the GS4's microsite, Samsung is unusually specific about the limit: 6.3 inches. That's an odd choice of display dimension, as it's bigger than the 5.5-inch Galaxy Note II and smaller than the 7-inch Galaxy Tab line. Samsung could just be hedging its bets, so we wouldn't make too many presumptions. It's often wise to give yourself a little headroom. However, a 6.3-inch screen would dovetail with unconfirmed <em>Korea Times </em>rumors that the next-generation Galaxy Note phone would use a similar size and give the 6.1-inch Ascend Mate a run for its money. We won't be convinced until we can see such a device for ourselves -- for all we know, it could be an extra-tiny version of a future Galaxy Tab.</div></div>

The peripheral is now sitting in stock at an ordinary, post-Kickstarter $59 price. As you'd expect, the functionality remains what we were promised earlier in the year. Slot in an iPhone, or certain Android smartphones, and scanning 35mm film or a slide is just a matter of lining things up and snapping a photo with the phone's camera. Anyone who's sitting on a treasure trove of old photos -- or is just holding on to that film SLR for dear life -- can shop for the scanner at the source link.</div></div>
