o-o want

Portable scanner? Without scanning? What sort of black magic is this?

HAHA WOW
I read this the second you posted it.
Just got back from sending it to every family member I have with
MY BIRTHDAY + CHRISTMAS ARE BOTH COMING UP, GUYS.
GUYS.
lol

MY GOD I WANT IT.

Christmas isn't really coming up, you know

Everyone in my family buys presents 6 godamn months in advance.
YES IT IS
;____;

you have a strange family! Why not wait for all the Christmas sales? :P

Nobody's willing to risk getting trampled. xD
I start early with the lists, or I get nothing I want. *shakes fist*

Give it a month and all the tech guys who ran out and bought it first just to have it will throw theirs on Ebay after using it once.

That's okay. It comes out in September, so that'll be in October, and my birthday's not until December.
I have time to learn if it's shit or not. :D

Oh man I should really adopt this. I hate scrambling around last minute all the time!

okay this totally just blew my mind, it's gonna take me a while to recover from this. xD

WANT OMG. And considering what it is, that price is also fucking amazing. MAYBE ONE DAY I CAN GET THIS

That's really cool! I want one and I"m not even an artist!

I have a lesser-known-brand version of that, have for a few years. It can't compare to a straight-up tablet. It's handy if you want to digitize notes, or I suppose if you do a lot of sketching with pens, but for digital drawing it's not actually particularly good. Unless Wacom has vastly improved the technology, but it looks to be pretty much exactly the same as what I've got.

What -exactly- do you have? It would be interesting to do comparison shopping/review shopping on this is available. I'd be curious who developed the technology.

It's an Inote Mobile Note Taker (Promo video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1chWA4y459U )

I've known that these are around, but so far I think I only saw them working on only one set sketchpad, or not having actual ink in the pen, or mostly just not being super accurate with the digital copy (good for writing/notes but not for drawing). Do you have any samples of what yours looks like?

that will probably cost like $350 here in australia and I don't want to think what the cost of replacing all those accessories would be :(

also it's pretty much just this: https://www.wacom.com/en/Store/Page.....-DF0429E676DF} but without needing the tablet

Somehow, I presume that this gadget won't work perfectly. Pressure detection can't be good when you use your own paper, especially when not on the flat surface.
I'd love to test it, anyway, it must be awesome for sketching.

But I sketch on paper because I like the way that feels....guess this isn't marketed towards me then ^.^;

Have you ever tried taping a piece of paper on top of your (normal) tablet?

My friend does this, so it feels like she's drawing on paper, but of course it's still digital.

It looks really neat.

On something like this though, I worry Wacom no longer making pen refills if they eventually drop support for it.

it uses regular ball point pen refills available from any staples etc

OOooh! Awesome.

interesting thought. i don't know if i'd use it enough to be worth the cost, but i know probably almost everyone else would, and i have no doubt, if, and hopefully it will, it catches on, the cost will inevitably come down at some point. not that its that high now, really.

finally they solved the issue of tablets not feeling like paper, and you can use any grade you want.
I just hope its pressure sensitive, and they soon come out with pencil attachments

OMG WANT! WANT SO BAD IT HURTS! Oh WHY is my budget failing me right now?!

Innnnnnnnteresting. I'll have to try this one out.

Scott

I don't even like drawing and I want that!

Ooooo...

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.

*opens wallet, moths fly out*

No no no no no no no no :(

LoL, it MUST be awesome, their server is too busy to show me it. XD

It comes across as more of an interesting novelty to me. The price is a bit too high for what it offers. it just strikes me as a slightly more convenient way to do something that was never really too difficult to begin with(scanning drawings). If they cut the price down a bit it might be more tempting.

But... you can scan in vectored layers! that shaves off hours of digital clean up!

Definitely a cool new product, I anticipate what people think of it when they get their hands on them.

I swear Leapfrog came up with this like, six years ago... oh, I remember now: The "Fly Fusion" pen. Of course that pen needed special paper and isn't sold anymore (plus Wacom is obviously higher quality), but since I owned the crappy Leapfrog one and never used it, I can't get really excited about this one just yet. I'll wait for the reviews once it comes out.

This seems cool, but the fact that's just pen.. and almost 200 bucks.. yeah no. I'll just learn how to work Mom's scanner and/or get a new one that is less confusing to use. Until this thing ends up on ebay for 50 dollars or less and has a pencil attachment anyway XD

this is a youtube that I saw on someone elses journal. So cool

I just found out about this earlier today! I'm really excited about the converting drawings to vector part!

hey, you. i'm new to FurAffinity - just signed up yesterday, but yeah, my friend posted this video to my wall on Facebook yesterday, looks fantastic - i'm interest to see it in action. thanks for all the useful links on your main page.

OMGOMGOMGOMG THANK YOU!!!!!

nice idea but it is too small, I'd need something closer to a 8.5x11.
