At only 256 levels of pressure sensitivity my 1.5GHz Gateway m275 is still quite useful for 2D animation and sketching and I'm still using it for production work (and can't see it going obsolete for what I'm using it for anytime soon).]]>Oct 22nd 2007 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/Oct 22nd 2007 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/
Sure, I'd love to have one of these things (I use a Cintiq 21ux at work), but I wouldn't be able to justify the cost. Might as well spend the extra $800 to get the 21ux at that point.]]>Oct 22nd 2007 7:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/

Anyway, the iPhone uses electrical resistance and requires flesh to draw on it. Does it recognize direction (tilt, etc) and pressure like these tablets, or even a tablet PC? I don't think so.]]>Oct 22nd 2007 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/
You could get an OQO which should fit in some larger pockets. It does have a wacom tablet-pc screen and should make for a pretty small but expensive digital sketch pad. I think it starts at $1300ish and you can get sprint or verison wireless boradband with it as well. It's a full blown PC so it should be able to do everything the iPhone can except dual touch and tase like an apple. The OQO 2 does have a pretty nice design even if it's not an apple.]]>Oct 22nd 2007 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/Oct 22nd 2007 8:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/Oct 23rd 2007 11:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/Oct 22nd 2007 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/This fills that very large niche nicely I think.

Anyway, for a graphics pro looking for a portable tablet with the benefits of a cintiq then this does the job. It is quite expensive but there is nothing else quite like it.

If you just want to take a few notes and scribble some quick diagrams then a tablet pc definetly makes more sense.

Still wacom really needs to figure out a way to get the price under that of a low end tablet PC. I would buy one right now if they could hit say $600. I bought my 24" Dell LCD for $600 direct from Dell and I can't belive there is that much more in a 12" Cintiq than a 24" LCD or a tablet PC. On the other hand Wacom does make great products and I've never had a problem with any Wacom I've used in the last 13ish years I've been using them. So maybe it's worth $1000-$1600 for a CG artist -:\]]>Oct 23rd 2007 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/Oct 23rd 2007 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/Oct 26th 2007 12:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/we are only artists not gold diggers, nor gangsters or landlords.
what is the justification for such a high price.
come on, just once give out a product with honest price please.
600$ is fair money for this piece nothing more. ok maybe i will pay
700$ or 800$. but above 1600 is OMG!!!!

Why so expensive? Because that's the target -- at that price they will sell all they can make (and then some -- expect the wait on this product to be at least a month or two until early next year). Folks using this for profit can write it off, just like the larger Cintiqs, so cost ain't much of a factor there (which is why huge LCD displays, with corresponding prices, continue to sell well to that market).

For the hobbyist (me) it's a PITA it's so expensive, but even I'm tempted. Reading all the tablet PC comments gives me pause, because for years that was what I was going to do, but over the last ten years my experiences with laptops convinces me it's not really the way to go -- they get obsolete FAST and battery life is *always* an issue, not to mention heat (I can't stand my present laptop IN my laptop for more than 20 minutes). Ideally we'd be looking at some kind of wireless connectivity with our base computers, but that's probably still another five years away (and it will come to all of us then).

I have to admit even at the price and even though it would be just for fun I'm mightily tempted -- but it means I'd have to get a dual display card for my other base machine (because I certainly do not want to tie up my primary dual monitor system) -- either that or use the Cintiq for my monitor needs as well (does anyone else here feel that's a weird situation?). Sigh -- I guess I'm still about five years away from reaching the real solution to all this (hope I'm still alive then).]]>Dec 4th 2007 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/wacom-adds-a-baby-cintiq-the-12wx-tablet-display/UK customers have to pay £865 - $1670 for that thing, I am total sick of the situation here.
