There is something a bit cheeky about a company who calls itself Genius. Still, I have looked at several Genius products over the years and for the most part they tend to perform well. The latest product from Genius has been announced and it is called the SP-T1200 2.0 Touch Speaker System.

As you might surmise from the name of the product, the speakers are controlled with the touch of a finger. Users are able to control the volume, bass, and treble by sliding a finger across the front of the speakers. The slide bar illuminates as you move the finger across the bar to show what level settings are at.

Genius, a division of KYE Systems, is releasing a new digital pad for artists, graphic designers and generally anyone who likes to digitally doodle. The Genius PenSketch 9X12 is priced at around $249 and should be available now.

The Genius PenSketch 9X12 is a pen tablet style digital pad for letting users sketch screen art and other forms of free-hand design. It has a large work area and is cordless so that users can work more comfortably. A rubber coated cordless pen with two programmable buttons can be put into the pen-holder when not in use. This pen can control all kinds of shapes and is built with 1024-level of pressure to make thickness control, editing and design easier to do.
