Ten One Design launches 'Force Touch' enabled Inklet app for new Apple trackpad

One of the bigger innovations released by Apple this year is the Force Touch trackpad in the upcoming MacBook and new MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina Display. Force Touch enables pressure sensitive drawing much like some standalone drawing tablets, it also has force-feedback that simulates button presses.

Available today for $24.95, Inklet 1.6 is the first third-party drawing application to add Force Touch support. It allows any Mac drawing program to gain pressure-sensitive input, and can be used with either a stylus or just a fingertip. This opens up a whole new range of functionality for marking up documents, creating accurate sketches or even just signing documents and PDFs right on a compatible Mac's trackpad. Here's hoping more developers create apps that make use of this innovation.

Except for Vine videos, all videos will start autoplaying, including video ads. Facebook began autoplaying videos about a year and a half ago and that boosted video uploads and consumption on the social network. It looks like Twitter is hoping to replicate that. There’s no word yet when the widespread rollout will happen. Watch your timeline though. You should be seeing more animated tweets soon.
