. The device will use Bluetooth
technology to connect to a user's iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, allowing users to interact
with Gameloft titles, and experience "kick back" gameplay for the first time on an Apple
device.
The pad also gives gamers the opportunity to connect their device to a television or
large screen display and play their games in a much more immersive environment. The Duo
Gamer control pad is described as a "game-changer" by Duo Games' CEO, Mike Sievert, and
will be on sale in Apple stores by the end of the week.
BASH Technologies, a major provider of cloud based mobile software, has announced a
strategic partnership

with IT consulting firm ENTAP, aimed at providing
higher education establishments from around the world access to advanced mobile
technologies.
BASHmobile will allow universities and colleges to implement a streamlined and fully
integrated mobile strategy throughout their facilities, and provide students, parents and
staff with real-time information about their courses and news bulletins from the
management staff.
According to ENTAP Chief Operating Officer Joey Harpist, "the BASHmobile solution
delivers a truly mobile, comprehensive, intuitive tool" for participating institutions,
with the company hoping to encourage a number of prestigious educational establishments
from across the world to adopt its services.
The Arizona Technology Council Foundation has announced the launch of Technology
Recycling Day

this week, providing local people and businesses with the chance to
recycle their electronic waste, whilst also raising awareness about the need to dispose of
electronics in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.
The campaign was sparked by an Environmental Protection Agency study, which revealed
that just 18% of the total number of recyclable devices in the US were recycled, whilst
the other 82% were left in landfills. Drop-off points will be created in several locations
across the State, with any functioning equipment donated to deprived schools and pupils.
According to Arizona Technology Council CEO Steven Zylstra, "Electronic equipment is one
of the fastest growing types of waste", and encouraging safe disposal lies at the heart of
the program.
