 Hi, this is Jeff with The Verge, and today we're at Panasonic's booth at CES 2013, and we're taking a look at their new Electronic Touch Pen. This is a new product for this year, it works with their 1080p plasma TVs that are new coming out this year. It's not backwards compatible with earlier plasmas, and it doesn't work with their LED LCD TVs. So let's just take a quick look at what's going on here. We have an iPad connected to the TV by Wi-Fi, and this is running Panasonic's Swipe and Share app. It's available for iOS and Android, no Windows 8. But what it allows you to do is, for example, take some photos and throw them up on the TV. Once the content is on the television, you can do all kinds of cool stuff with it. So let's just bring up the palette. First I have to let the TV know that I'm talking to it. Great, now we can just bring up a palette. I'm going to pick a pen, let's go with this one. I'll pick my color. Actually I kind of like black, that's great. And then we can just write stuff on the TV. We can maybe put a Bane mask on this guy. Something like this. That kind of thing, yeah. And then when we're finished with the image, we can drag it back down onto the tablet, and that will store it back on our device. There's some other things that you can do as well. There are some games, tablet-like games running on the television that you can interact with using the touch pen, and some cool whiteboard functionality as well. So Panasonic won't say exactly what technology it's using to communicate with the TV. They'll just say it's proprietary and it uses Bluetooth. And yeah, other than that we don't have too much information. It's coming out later this year, but there's no price or release window yet. And yeah, that's the Electronic Touch Pen from Panasonic.

 we're taking a look at their new Electronic Touch Pen.
 This is a new product for this year, it works with their 1080p plasma TVs that are new coming
 out this year.
 It's not backwards compatible with earlier plasmas, and it doesn't work with their LED
 LCD TVs.
