This looks pretty awesome! Anyone about to buy a tablet might consider waiting a few more weeks...

Thats nice to carry around when you're on the go, but I'd still want a regular tablet to use when in front of a desktop.

fuloprichard on Aug 30 '11 at 9:28am

that layer feature is awesome... gonna buy one as soon as it's available.

toopersent on Aug 30 '11 at 9:31am

Yeah, this is awesome. The layer feature is the best part; however, this won't replace a tablet. I'd still need one for coloring in photoshop.

Still, at $200, it is pretty affordable.

Wow, that is the future.

That's chuffing brilliant! Thanks for the heads up. I like the idea that you can decide later if you want it to be vector or raster. I struggle not being able to see what I'm drawing, there's no way I can justify an Intuos. This will be perfect for me. Hope it works as well as it does on the video.

fuloprichard on Aug 30 '11 at 9:39am

yeah it's really not intended to replace regular tablets.. it will be a pain in the ass to work with it front of a comp (you should reupload every changes..)

but you get great freedom with this gadget, there are many times when i just want to go out to a park or somewhere, maybe to drink a coffee and just doodle, sketch something, but then i realise that im just too lazy to digitalise those, so instead i just stay home and use my tablet to sketch on my comp.

That's why i recently planned to by an Asus Slate which is a tablet pc with windows 7, capable to run photoshop and stuff, and u get a wacom pen with it, but that costs 1000-1300 $..

bengineer on Aug 30 '11 at 9:50am

Yeah, right, it's definitely no replacement for a tablet. I was just addressing those among us who won't be able to afford both ;)

IS THIS FOR REAL?

Man, I am drooling!

Ooh new toys! I wonder if the drawing area is limited to the size of a notebook page.

My name is Benjamin (or Benni).

I like all colors, they just need to match the theme and each other ;) If you can't think of any:
red, blue, yellow, green.
My favourite animals are monkeys, jerboas, raccoons and sloths.
I like parkour, basketball, swimming, canoeing and biking.
I play the piano and design things on the computer, not only on threadless, also for my family's tea shop (i like tea). I have 2 little sisters, ages 16 and 8. I like photography and i'm a vegetarian. I love spaghetti, pizza, quiche and anything with melted cheese in/on it. I love movies and have a huge tv. my favorite tv shows are scrubs, futurama, family guy, american dad and dexter and lost. i also like indie & rock music and writing (i write for my school magazine, too). I wanna be a journalist. I think I'm gonna study abroad (i'm german) - maybe in Chicago - but i'm not sure yet. I love reading. My advanced courses in school are political science and german.
