<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/fiftythrees-bluetooth-enabled-pencil-ipad-now-open-developers' title="FiftyThree's Bluetooth-enabled Pencil for iPad now ready for developers"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/07/fiftythree-sdk-3-noteshelf.jpg?itok=QZSrx6DR' />[/url]</p> <p>FiftyThree now has a software development kit available for devs that want to make use of their snazzy Bluetooth-enabled Pencil accessory (http://www.imore.com/tag/pencil). This enables new interactions whereby the app can recognize a fingertip, a palm (which can generally be rejected as input), the tip of the Pencil, or the rectangular eraser head.</p> <!--break--> <p>There's also some super-simple pairing functions available for those that bounce between devices, plus once iOS 8 (http://www.imore.com/ios-8) drops, Pencil will support pressure sensitivity. Three top-notch developers are already making use of the tools, including Procreate (<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/procreate-sketch-paint-create./id425073498?at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">$5.99[/url]), Noteshelf (<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/noteshelf-notes-pdf/id392188745?at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">$5.99[/url]), and Squiggle (<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/squiggle/id370364419?at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">$0.99[/url]).</p> <p>Interested developers can hit up the Pencil SDK page (http://www.fiftythree.com/sdk) to sign up. If you don't have a Pencil and think you could get some use out of it (especially with forthcoming third-party app support), you can snag one below. Obviously Pencil works great with FiftyThree's award-winning Paper app, which you can also try out at the download link below.</p> <ul><li>Free, IAPs - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/paper-by-fiftythree/id506003812?at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Paper[/url]</li> <li>$59.95 - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/FiftyThree-53PA02-Pencil-by-Graphite/dp/B00JP12170?tag=imoreb-20&amp;m1k=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Buy Pencil[/url]</li> </ul></div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-25888"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3cc8ecbe/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
