			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Boinx Software has released Mouseposé, a mouse pointer-highlighting tool for presentations, screencasts or demos. The software&#8217;s being sold at the Mac App Store for $16.99.</p>
<p>Mouseposé dims your screen and shines a spotlight on the area around your mouse pointer. Since mouse clicks get lost during presentations, the software lets audiences visualize each click by drawing a red circle around the pointer for each click. Users can customize clicks to coincide with a specific sound, or give right and left clicks different colors in order to easily tell them apart. When the mouse lingers over a window for an extended period of time, the focus automatically expands to highlight the window.</p>
<p>Mouseposé also sports keystroke visualization tools, so an audience sees each key pressed, for easier comprehension of product demos or training.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mouseposé is the perfect tool to grab your audiences&#8217; attention and keep them focused throughout your presentation,&#8221; said Oliver Breidenbach, CEO of Boinx. He added that the software is &#8220;Our fifth app to hit the Mac App Store, and we are thrilled with the reception we are receiving from customers, and proud to be a part of this new purchase and download platform. We are working hard to make sure that all of our apps are available in the Mac App Store soon.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.bitesofapple.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Papershow.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-425" title="Papershow" src="http://www.bitesofapple.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Papershow-300x194.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="194" /></a>One of the busiest booths at last week&#8217;s Macworld 2010 Expo was one staffed by a 500-year-old company, showing a sparkling-new product. <a href="http://www.papershow.com/us/papershow_kit.asp" target="_blank">Papershow</a> makes a presentation interactive over the Web or inside a meeting room. It relies on the magic of Papershow paper, a frame of microscopic points, almost invisible to the naked eye, which work as locators when a special pen moves across the sheet.</p>
<p>The software, pen and paper integrate with JPEG and PowerPoint files, so that slick slide deck you created to dazzle in the boardroom or in a pitch to a client gets a fresh angle. Canson, a French company that started selling paper in the 16th Century, unveiled the product for the Mac at the show, after selling Papershow during 2009 for the PC. It&#8217;s a $200 solution that was competing, sort of, with the likes of the massive $4,000 electronic whiteboard in the booth right next door.</p>
<p>The full solution includes a pen with a micro camera, Bluetooth transcorder and a processor on-board; the magic paper both in printable sheets (to put your slides in front of you to annotate) and in a notepad format; and a USB key of 256MB to plug into your Mac and receive the pen&#8217;s transmissions. Your presentation&#8217;s audience doesn&#8217;t even have to be in the room &#8212; if you&#8217;re able to share your screen over the Web, your marks and notes become part of your show in remote offices.</p>
<p>In front of a crowd still buzzing after a day and a half of expo time, Chason&#8217;s rep showed the ability to underline, circle or make a note on top of a PowerPoint slide, in multiple colors. The product makes a presentation more alive than the stock animations from PowerPoint. Once it imports a PowerPoint file for annotation, it can save the resulting markup back to PPT or JPEG formats, or Papershow&#8217;s native format.</p>
