Inkling by Wacom
-
I just saw this video demo of a new product from Wacom called Inkling due in September. It looks like a cool tool with a lot of potential.

Looks much better than Wacom tablets, which I find really difficult to work with.
Although it's due on Sept. 30th, you can pre-order now...
Price is 170,00 EUR... -
I agree. I find the Intuous tablet I have difficult because I want to look at the tablet to see where the stylus is but there's nothing happening there. I think this pen will be a good replacement for the Intuous. And because it is portable, It'll be nice to sit in a coffee shop and sketch or whatever.
I'm very tempted to pre-order.

Nice.

You're mistaken. It's €170.00

I was reading it as 17,000 EUR. Why on earth do Europeans use comma's instead of periods?
-
The Wacom website indicates $199 USD.

Not all Europeans use it.

Only the rebels. Cheeky little troublemakers.

He, he...
I could ask the same... Why do some use the dot as a separator...? 
-
Looks really cool. If only I could draw better, or at all.
-
Either the product will be a winner or the Wacom IT people are way behind the curve. I had a hell of a time trying to access the WACOM site yesterday and when I got in, much of the info was not available.

You have yet Apen, Logipen, Mobile Digital Scribe or ZPen ...
-
Pilou, those are interesting but look like they are geared more to converting written notes into text.
-
I would be tempted if I did more hand drawn work. Despite the fact that I can actually draw, these days the only sketches I tend to use are very impressionistic scribbles that serve only as a temporary record of very rough ideas.
Having said that, if Wacom have done a good job when it comes to exporting to vectors I can see some potential in my workflow.....or do I just keep dreaming of getting a Cintiq?
-
I also have neglected my drawing skills, it's been a very long time since I doodled, I was tempted to start again after seeing Eric Lay's stuff on FB.
This would be a great excuse to get back to my cartoons and caricatures that I so loved doing as a youngster.

Hi, Dave:
Thanks for posting this. While I enjoy sketching on paper, I usually prefer a pencil- with graphite rather than a pen, for the obvious reason that I can erase the graphite as I develop my ideas. It would be neat if Wacom provided this option. Or crayons, even, or pastels...?
What would they call it-- Graphling? I-Pencil? oooo I better run out and register those
I like the compactness of the product. And I think if anyone can get it right, it's Wacom. Similar, sort of, technology is used in those Promethean classroom chalkboards, I think. -
.... some kind of inaudible (to humans) sound technology is being used from what I understand .... however, I bet my dog could hear it .... probably would drive him mad
