SmartSound offers annual subscription
Desk Pets has launched a special edition TankBot featuring a new battle mode, while SmartSounds has started offering annual subscriptions
Desk Pets International has launched a special edition TankBot that includes a new battle mode. The battle mode builds upon the existing three modes, which allow the TankBot to autonomously solve mazes, free roam around a room or be controlled by an iOS or Android device. During the interactive battle mode, sensors on each device detect when fired shots connect, and after a set number of hits the losing bot is disabled. The special edition TankBot is a Brookstone exclusive and can be purchased for $25.
SmartSounds offering annual subscriptions
In celebration of its new annual subscription offering, SmartSound is offering a 50 percent discount to the first 10 customers. The annual subscription provides customers access to the entire SmartSound Royalty Free Music Library for a full year, a service which would generally cost $3,000 per year. Yearly subscribers are also provided access to the company's custom length and mood mapping features, which allow for the customization of each track. Alternatively, the company also offers a pay-as-you-go service with prices ranging from $30 to $40 per track.
