Mad Catz Releases the TRITTON Swarm Wireless Mobile Headset

Posted by Jessica Fisher on January 8th, 2015

Mad Catz Interactive has started shipping the TRITTON Swarm Wireless Mobile Headset. The new headset uses Bluetooth to connect two devices simultaneously, such as your iPad, iPhone, computer, and console games, while also being able to switch to answer calls automatically on your phone when needed. It also includes wireless surround sound based on the same tech that goes into the missile warning systems by an F-16 Falcon jet fighter. The advanced sound system lets games have the edge by being able to more accurately pinpoint enemy movements and team mate positions while they play.

The TRITTON Swarm is available in iridescent Blue, Red, Green, and Black colors for $149.99 on the Mad Catz website now.

Livescribe has just announced SDK integration of its Livescribe 3 Smartpen with note-taking app Noteshelf. With this integration, scribbles from the pen are then transmitted to the app in real-time.

From the press release:

"To get started, customers should update their copy of Noteshelf to version 9.0, then go into the Noteshelf Store while connected to the Internet, and select the free Livescribe Sync Pack to add support for their Livescribe 3 smartpen. Once installed, customers tap the smartpen icon to add their handwriting to Noteshelf."

We had an opportunity to review both Livescribe 3 and Noteshelf, and came away impressed with both. The Livescribe 3 is available from popular online retailers for $149.99, while Noteshelf is available for $5.99 on the App Store.

The Livescribe 3 pen is something that I initially dismissed. I just didn’t think there was a way it would work as well as it was shown. Turns out I was 100% wrong. It’s magic.
