Sketch it out: hands-on with Wacom's Intuos Creative Stylus and retooled Bamboo Paper app
Last week, Wacom unveiled its latest tablet pen -- the Intuos Creative Stylus -- alongside a trio of Cintiq Companion standalone slates. The stylus is indeed a departure from the regular ol' scribbling units that we've seen popping up all over. This time around, the Intuos Creative Stylus draws much of its look and feel from Wacom's Pro Pen (or Cintiq Pen) with its on-board buttons, soft grip and recognizable shape. Of course, it wields the same 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity that we've seen on units included with Intuos and Cintiq models as of late, and connects to the latest Apple tablets via Bluetooth 4.0. All that sounds great, but as you might expect, it comes with a higher price. Is parting with $100 a safe bet in October or are you better off sticking with your current tools? Venture past the break for our initial impressions.
Wacom unveils pressure-sensitive Intuos Creative Stylus for iPad
Wacom has unveiled the Intuos Creative Stylus for iPad. The stylus is a pressure sensitive device with 2,048 levels of sensitivity that Wacom says is as close to the experience of pen on paper as anyone has gotten on the iPad yet. A nice feature about the stylus is that, since it uses Bluetooth 4.0, Wacom could build in "palm rejection." That means that touch input with a large surface area won't register when you are using the stylus, so you can hold the iPad comfortably without messing up your drawings. The Intuos Creative Stylus works with the iPad 3, fourth-generation iPad and the iPad mini. It's built to work with Wacom's Bamboo Paper app, but plenty of third-party apps also support the stylus, including SketchBook Pro, ArtRage (by Ambient Design), ProCreate and Psykopaint. The Intuos Creative Stylus goes on sale in October for US$99.
