The zoomed out view reminds me of the microsoft courier. Why hasnt anyone made that into an app?

Yep - there is a reason Wacom tablets are still so expansive. You wouldn't be able to get that resolution at an iPad size for cheap enough - but it is only a matter of time (now that there is a higher scale of demand from Apple and other tablets)
My Asus Eee Note disagrees, and is seen as a Wacom tablet when USB connected to my comp as an added bonus.

the real wacoms have 1025 lines per inch, your Aus Eee Note doesn't have 1025 in the entire touchscreen
the component cost of the touchscreen in the Asus is around $40. I have the larger model here. the component cost for the wacom touch interface and controller (which you can't even really buy) would be in the hundreds of dollars (for a 7").
if you have used a real wacom you will know what I am talking about, the feeling and accuracy is simply awesome. I can't wait until the technology makes it into consumer tablets

#76I really want to love this. iPad hardware just doesn't deliver. The problem isn't that nice drawing software like this doesn't exist, it's that styli on iPad still suck . The capacitive screen (even on "new" iPad) only has about a 6mm capacitive resolution, so you're stuck fudging the fck along with a sausage for a stylus. Ars had a good review[1] on the current state of styli, and they said much the same. I've perso…
I agree completely, but there's something very important that Apple has to to – not bundle a stylus. That's right: they should build Wacom technology into the tablet without including a pen or a place to hold it. Why? For the same reason that Macs still come defaulted to "one button" mode – to restrain software developers. You see, application developers for Mac can count on a significant percent of their user base b…
I feel the one button thing is stupid, but I agree on the stylus.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I have a tablet PC with a Wacom digitizer, and it is awesome. Also, it's been around since 2001.
Re: Paper
#78$2 per tool? This is not a free app, this is a bait-and-switch. Just charge $15 for the app, guys.
If they had gone with the traditional free lite version / paid premium version model, you would lose all of your drawings when you upgraded. This is just a free trial for the real product which can be unlocked at any time with minimal friction. Personally, I prefer this to having to hunt in the app store for the "premium" version if I decide to make the switch. Doing this also gives the developers the option to intro…

Wow...UX in systems with hidden file-system is so awesome.

I remember that tablet, had no idea it was Wacom
they are doing a lot more integrations now, though most are pen:

I wonder if the resolution issue could be improved by combining inertial sensing in the stylus with the position data from the capacitive display. You should be able to get sub-"pixel" resolution by using multiple sensors this way, though I'm not sure how well it would work in practice, with inertial drift, etc. It might be pretty good though! Worth trying I bet.
