One issue of course is the missing pressure sensitivity (like the line get thicker when you press harder), but I wonder if that can be gotten around to some degree. For example with a soft pen head which touches more of the glass when you press harder.

Me, I'm definitely gonna have a go at sketching in cafes and such places. Hey, you may even pick up babes that way, who knows.
I find it's often conducive to the creative juices to write or draw outside your home or office, since you kinda take it less serious. Or summin'.
(Oh, and If I bring the small Apple wireless keyboard, the pad can be used for creative writing too.)

ReplyDeleteNaaah! It never happened to Picasso, so why would it happen to you? ;-)
The wider public may be interested in knowing that Picasso, short and bald, always had young, tall, statuesque lovers. Female too.
ReplyDeleteWould a rubber brush (like the ones used to push clay by potters/sculptors) be soft enough to "squash" on the surface?
ReplyDeleteI see Wacom coming up with a portable i-pad like sketchpad in the future. Probably not a large market enough to interst Apple, but Wacom would. And then my wallet would weep.
Unfortunately, upon testing, it seems that the iPad/pod does not actually register how big a surface is touching the screen. Maybe they'll realize there could be a use for that and implement it one day.
