However, without buying lots of new apple software, i find pc fills most of my needs. I wound up buyig the tabletkiosk i440d slate. it has wacom digitzer, and touch mode both. one can choose between the 2. it also isnt as fast as the modbook , but the battery life im sure is much better, and the i440d only weighs 3 lbs. But it hasnt bogged at anything ive thrown at it with 2g of ram. plus it has an outdoor viewable screen. i am very happy with the way the pen feels and art stuff on it is great. It will suffice me till multitouch maybe takes over. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[fred]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 2nd 2008 1:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/axiotron-finally-ships-modbook-os-x-tablet/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/axiotron-finally-ships-modbook-os-x-tablet/</guid><description><![CDATA[graphic designers and illustrators all use macs. we also need to a stylus for fine point detail. hence the modbook<br><br> if apple comes up with their own tablet it'd probably just be used with two smelly grubby fangers to resize photos]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Arbert]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 2nd 2008 5:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/axiotron-finally-ships-modbook-os-x-tablet/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/axiotron-finally-ships-modbook-os-x-tablet/</guid><description><![CDATA[i agree arbert. the tabletkiosk also uses a stylus for the built in wacom digitizer..512 levels of pressure as the modbook supposedly has. Just one can choose the stylus mode or touch. seems to work fine with photoshop, and corel painter. So when using those programs...to me dosnt make much difference if its pc or mac....as its photoshop...and not an apple software. but would make a difference if one has the mac software for photoshop....one would probably want mac.<br>   i just got tired of waiting on apple....this tech has been out so long...even multitouch has been out and is being used...just not yet by mac or pc. so now i can draw and do stuff while i wait and see who does what. the stylus actually looks almost identical to the modbooks. i love the computer . i rate it 9.9....10 if it were a mac. i dont understand why mac didnt come out with somethin like it. if multitouch will be pressure sensitive, seems there will have to be a way to turn it off to use a stylus and be able to rest your hand on screen to avoid vectoring id think....thats whee this is nice to turn on digitizer or off. unfortunatley i believe apples first venture with multitouch will be for iphone like things on a puter......not necessarily for artists to draw with a stylus. Too makes me wonder if multitouch does have great pressure sensitivity, what will be wacoms answer to the tech. just some thoughts. I agree all artists are using macs...but right now they are forced to deal with not drawing directly on the screen. baby cintiq is about as close as they can come....but its not exactly portable as my little puter....but it does have better specs than my puter or the modbook as far as the wacom digitizer.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[fred]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 3rd 2008 12:27AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/axiotron-finally-ships-modbook-os-x-tablet/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/01/axiotron-finally-ships-modbook-os-x-tablet/</guid><description><![CDATA[Someone want to donate a cintiq or a tablet PC to me?
