What is Pogo Connect?
Pogo Connect is a bluetooth pen that allows you to draw with different line widths on an iPad. It works with many drawing and note-taking apps. It's also great for handwriting because the iPad can ignore your palm and wrist.
Which devices are compatible with Pogo Connect?
Pogo Connect works with iPad (3rd generation) and iPad (4th generation). iPad mini support will be added by compatible apps soon.
What if I have an iPad 1 or iPad 2?
We've been thinking about you.
If you have access to an iPhone 4s or the new iPhone 5, use it to download the free Pogo Bridge app from the App Store.
Running this app on your iPhone will bridge the connection between your Pogo Connect and apps running on your iPad. Check to see if your favorite apps supports iPad 1 or 2 by clicking the "more" link under each app description in the "Apps" tab. If your favorite app isn't compatible with the bridge, send a quick email to the developer. Bridge support in apps can be added with just one line of code.
Contact info@tenonedesign.com if you have any questions.
Is the tip replaceable?
Yes, and not just replaceable - it's upgradeable. More on that later :)
Battery included?
Of course! Who wouldn't include a battery?
How long does the battery last?
For most users, we think it will last for months.
In fact our goal was for you to never have to think about batteries again.
What kind of crazy battery lasts for months?
Would you believe it's just a standard AAA?
We chose AAA because it's easy to find, and small enough to hide in a pen.
Should I disconnect it when I'm done?
You need never worry about power-managing your Pogo Connect.
It's totally fine to just leave it connected all the time.
It will be ready to work whenever you are.
Pogo Connect uses efficient power-saving strategies to last months on a single AAA battery. Should you ever become disconnected, simply press the button on your Pogo Connect near a running iPad, and it will reconnect.

How can I turn off my Pogo Connect?
After Pogo Connect disconnects from an iPad, it will turn itself off automatically.
To disconnect from an iPad, press the home button, then hold the Pogo Connect button down for six seconds. When the blue light begins to blink, press the button once.
Do I ever need to turn my Pogo Connect off?
You may have noticed Pogo Connect has no power switch.
That's on purpose.
It'll always be ready to use, but when you're inactive, Pogo Connect uses aggressive power-saving strategies. Standby mode doesn't just last for months. It lasts for years.

What exactly does a Crescendo Sensor do?
Some sensors use piezo-electric discs.
Others use deformable resistive materials.
Still other use resonating electrical circuits and moving ferrous materials.
Our sensor is fundamentally different from all of those. It uses a very new idea to detect pressure, and has no moving parts. We think it's hot stuff, but not because it's new. It's hot stuff because it works better than those other technologies.

How many levels of pressure does Pogo Connect have?
Our solid state pressure sensing supports hundreds of levels.
Can I use Pogo Connect without a supported app?
Yes, Pogo Connect serves admirably as a standard capacitive stylus.
How do I connect my Pogo Connect?
Many of the compatible apps will automatically recognize a Pogo Connect when it's blinking blue.
If not, there is a menu item that will let you connect.
Ten One has created a free app that you can connect with as well.
The app is (unsurprisingly) called "Pogo Connect."
Once connected, the pen will continue to work in the other applications.
It will also automatically reconnect should it ever become disconnected.
What size is Pogo Connect?
Pogo Connect weighs in at 5.1" (130mm), and is 11.7 mm in diameter. That's about 16% thinner than a AA battery. The tip is a narrow 7mm.
Beautiful Apps

Line Art is a very fun interactive visual toy. Basically, there are thousands of particles that respond to your touch, and as they move around they leave behind a colorful line. Over time, the particles smoothly change color, and how they react to your touches, keeping things interesting. When you leave the app alone, the particles will start moving on their own, as though they are alive.

Exotic pressure technology
Under its tame exterior, Pogo Connect sports a wild new patent pending technology we call a Crescendo Sensor.
So where did it come from? It began as a research project here at Ten One in early 2011. Later that year, we realized we were on to something really big.
Here's what our Crescendo Sensor can do:

Here's what our Crescendo Sensor can do:
- It's amazingly sensitive, with 0 grams of activation force.
- It works at all angles.
- It requires no calibration.
- It provides hundreds of levels of pressure.
- Best of all? No moving parts, making it incredibly reliable.
Turn it on, leave it on
You should never have to think about batteries or charging.
Pogo Connect makes it easy.
We've used new Bluetooth Smart technology to extend the battery to extraordinary levels.
How many hours of continuous use? Perhaps you mean how many months? All from the included AAA battery. Turn it on. Leave it on. Draw whenever you'd like.

Your handwriting suffers from trying to pivot off the edge where you won't make accidental marks.
Pogo Connect is engineered to help apps ignore your palm. Compatible applications will let you rest your hand anywhere, and only respond to the pen tip. Phew!
