The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

Ok perfect except for one thing

Writes great and very sensitive. Will say I have a surface as well and the Apple screen picks up my hand more than the surface for contact I don't want showing up. However love the feel of the pencil and overall great add to the Pro. Not the thing that drive me crazy is the charging can not do both at the same time and you are sure going to break the end off of it one day that is for sure. However I think it is something you need to have.

Kinda waiting on something more

Well I think it does everything it says it does and looks pretty good. I would say easy to use not sure I like the feature of answer on the watch but overall it is a step in the right direction. Apps will have to come along which is the key. Some have integrated and some have not which is really the key to everything. Everything being said it is the battery life that kills it for me. Can not get more than really a solid day out of charge. But neat to have.

Best all around band
on March 11, 2016
Posted by: Techdad
from Keller, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
So I love the new band vs the old one. Display is great and functions are perfect for fitness and also crosses over to information for cell phone for email, alerts, texts and other things. Yes Microsoft is always the last to get apps and have people integrate programs with them but you can wear this band comfortably and still have your favorite watch on your other arm. This is what I love about it. Works well without the cell phone with built in GPS and I think it is gaining popularity with other as seeing apps integrating and can't wait for them to really take ahold of this market with Microsoft Vault.Have recommend this to 3 other friends who all have bought it and are using everyday for over a month an love it. The left Garmin, Fitbit and IWatch to join me and all say they love it.

Looking for something for my son and this was perfect. Even though he already had a IPad this was perfect and compact and just what he wanted. He is 6 and this was great already emailing more and face timing his grandparents. Great trainer for the near future cell phone that he will be wanting.

Enemies will fall at the wave of your hand. Goals will be grasped with the reach of your arm. Sports tournaments will be won by the twist of your wrist. Your gaming destiny is clear when you're armed with the Wii Remote Plus controller. Hyper-sensitive to recognize your slightest movements, the Remote Plus eliminates buttons and joysticks and replaces them with the natural, fluid gestures of your body.A controller has never been so simple to use. Integrated MotionPlus technology intuitively recognizes every swing, twist, swish and blow and reproduces it on the screen with unbelievable accuracy, taking your mind off the buttons and into the battle, tournament or race. With this Mario-inspired controller, you get the red and blue colors of the classic character to add a bit of nostalgia to all your games. When your controller no longer controls you, the reins are yours to take — steer your way to success.

Great to have colored and customer controllers for kids. They get to pick the ones they want and stops the fighting over which one. Made it a easy pick to get one for each kid.

You take the lead as your team approaches a clean new area, free of color and chaos. With a smirk, you take it all in — you'll soon change that. Two teammates begin spraying down walls, floors, ceilings and every other imaginable surface with ink, claiming this territory as your own with a vivid wash of your colors. You and another fighter scan the area for enemies. The opposition never sees you as you sneak up and douse them in an ink bath they'll never forget. This turf is all yours — it's time to move on and paint the whole world in your team's colors.Get messy with Splatoon, a fun-filled third-person action shooter that challenges you to cover levels, and enemies, with a brilliant spray of colorful ink. Take on the role of an Inkling, a squid-like fighter ready to cover yourself and everything around you with your team's hues. Cover the terrain around you in ink to claim it, and spray walls to gain access to hard-to-reach areas. Earn high-powered super weapons by soaking your turf in ink, so you can cover your enemies in color or spray more territory. Put on your thinking cap to dream up devastating strategies, but don't forget to keep an eye on your turf — too much attention on the other team may lead to a redecoration of your own territory. Easily refill your tank or hide from enemies with just a touch of a button, or transform into a squid and dive into ink for a blazing-fast speed boost. Attack your own way with a multitude of control options thanks to the Wii U GamePad controller, including gyroscopic controls that let you look around, aim and more with precision. Band together with three friends and get online to take on other teams in four-on-four matches that will have you perched on the edge of your seat. A color-soaked battle awaits — are you ready to claim your turf?

With all the first person gory shooting games this works for the kids. Little hard for them to work and get a hold of but would say they have had fun so far with it.

Good remote and not much has changed with the remote over the last version. Not that great to have to have multiple types of remotes for games to use. Works well and the interactive games it is great.

Charge your mobile devices while in your vehicle with this Insignia™ NS-PA555 charger that is compatible with select Apple® iPhone®, iPad® and iPod® models. The USB port lets you charge up to 2 devices at once.
 

Is the power output divided between the two ports?

If i am charging two devices simultaneously, is there 15.5W (3.1A) being output to EACH device...or...is the 15.5W (3.1A) output being shared/divided between the two devices? If it is being divided, is it divided equally (50/50) between the two ports ?
Divided between the two. Not sure about the split between the two port options.
