What do you think about this new product? They claim it will work with almost any touch screen product to offer you the same freedom you would experience using a Wacom Graphics Tablet...

As always, the advertising surpasses the actual functionality of the product. Read the description to see how limited it is. Still, it's a step in the right direction. I can see many artists walking around with touch slates and tablet PC's in the near future...and why should we also connect our graphics tablets to be able to create our artworks...I hope this product is developed further as I can see the great potential.

Please share your thoughts

that nib tip worries me. Those round ball tips makes it a bit tricky for fine details and such. You can actually use a normal bamboo touch pen on most capacitive touchscreens and it has a fine nib tip.

It's bound to get better with time. The Ipad3 is also here.

That's the one thing samsung got right with the Note, the stylus has a pointy end. I think with most touch screens, they're wired to activate when a finger sized surface area pokes at them, which is probably why they have to have those pudgy rounded ends. This is just my guess. So wacom probably can't do much better until the tablets catch up. Samsung does say that the Note incorporates wacom technology.

Will be interesting to see how the sales go when they bring out the 10.1" Note. Quite a lot of careers out there could use a tablet with sketching options.

I secon what Kidult said :|
Round tips are pretty hard to be precise

But maybe they're soft fluffy balls
