OMG ... Draw Something Just Got Easier!

NEW YORK, May 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Nextrendz presents the first affordable game-inspired touch-screen stylus that helps give you an edge over your Draw Something friends. The Draw Thing™ will enhance your all-around Draw Something™ game on iPad®, iPhone®, iPod® touch and Android® devices.

Draw Something is the new app that has taken the world of smartphones by storm. An online version of Pictionary®, it allows players to use Apple® and Android devices as a canvas. Until now players had to use their fingers as a paintbrush. With The Draw Thing you will be able to transform your doodles from finger-painting into art.

Draw Something has been downloaded 50 million times in just 50 days.

Zynga, Inc., which bought the game's developer OMGPOP, Inc. last month for $180 mil, said they believed that Draw Something is the "fastest growing" mobile game of all time.  The simple game involves players drawing pictures in order to guess words. At peak times, Draw Something players create over 3,000 drawings per second. Draw Something's success has seen it top the iPhone app charts, beating the highly anticipated sequel to Angry Birds®, Angry Birds Space.

Nextrendz is a team of creative out-of-the box thinkers committed to the philosophy that through strategic thinking and innovative design a concept can become reality.

The Draw Thing was born out of the desire to have a really great stylus for the amazing Draw Something game. By designing "The Draw Thing," Dan Weinstein and Doron Fetman felt that it would be a great way to Draw a "better thing"! "We are bringing back the 'Draw' in Draw Something," said Weinstein, who is the company's Creative Director. "We bought several different stylus models currently available on the market but they all suffered the same problem: they were designed to look and feel like a pen and did not have kids in mind. In addition, our stylus has a rubber sleeve that can be interchanged with different-colored sleeves. We will be adding licensed designed sleeves as well, so collect them all!" added Fetman.
