Griffin Releases Major Update and Adds New Features to PowerMate New Software Adds Long-Click, Global Mode and Eject Key to popular USB 'Knob' Controller NASHVILLE, TN - September 20, 2002. Griffin Technology, Inc. today announced the release of PowerMate Software Version 1.5 for Mac OS 9 & OS X for their PowerMate USB Multimedia Controller. The new software adds several features including "Long-Click" - a completely new assignable Action; and "Eject Key" - allowing PowerMate to function as an Eject Button. PowerMate Software version 1.5 is available now for free download at www.griffintechnology.com. One of the most notable additions in Version 1.5 is the brand new "Long-Click" User Action. This new assignable function is activated when a user presses and holds the PowerMate button down for a specific period of time. The amount of time required is adjustable between .5 and 4 seconds via a slider bar directly on the Control Panel. This adds a sixth User Action to the current list of five assignable actions that PowerMate can perform. PowerMate can also now be assigned to function as the Eject Button for Macintosh computers. This gives users without newer Apple keyboards a way to eject their CDs. Previously, a number of users were forced to launch an app or re-start their computers to accomplish this basic task. All Macintosh users may find using their PowerMate to eject their CDs much easier and more convenient. Several additional new features are included in version 1.5. Highlights include: - Global Only checkbox - used when a user wants their PowerMate to function simply as a volume knob - Special "Volume Up" and "Volume Down" key commands that active the on-screen and audible Volume Status display - Apply Button - immediately applies any new settings or changes made in the Control Panel without closing it - A direct link within the Control Panel to the Griffin Technology website for help and further information "Version 1.5 completely re-invents the PowerMate. It allows it to do things never imagined. The "Long Click" feature adds a totally new assignable function and the "Eject Key" is also a much-requested and useful feature - both now available for free. This release shows vividly that PowerMate still has several tricks up its sleeve. Now there are even more reasons to own a PowerMate" says Paul Griffin, President of Griffin Technology.
