I cannot wait to get my hands on one of these. $200US. Would be keen to see how well it actually translates onto the screen...

Very, very cool. I've passed all the details through to my boss and he is very excited. Looking at trying to become the stockist for these in Perth asap

That looks pretty interesting... would be great for illustrators. not so good for layouts I think.

Ideas (usually layouts) sketched are almost always shit-canned by the time they hit my screen as on paper I seem to have a warped concept of how much space I can work with. Its like the cruel reality of the medium you're designing for (dimension/ratio of a screen or print) never quite captures what you had going on with the paper.

... so now I just work directly on-screen for everything :P

Let me know how that goes Crispmk2!!!!
I love working on paper. Hopefully there are different ink/nib options. Don't get to do enough traditional art these days :(

Interesting!
Will have to keep an eye on it

Saw this the other day, absolutely amazing. Very keen to purchase.

It's the elephant in the room, and I'm just going to go ahead and say it.

Graphic Designers are fags.

He has already chucked it up on our blog: http://www.teamdigital.com.au/blog/2011/09/01/could-this-be-the-future-in-graphic-design/
And he is going to call the Wacom rep in the morning.

Just had a hands-on play with an Inkling. Very impressive! Works better than I thought and is amazingly accurate.

Should have availability and confirmed pricing very soon

Will pick one up almost as soon as they become available.
You guys should do some kind of launch. Put on some wine and cheese and shit, you'll sell a fuckload, I know at least a dozen people who would buy one asap.

Was keen to see a group buy around the traps. Savings to be had at launch?
