Sketchbook Pro iPad Sketchbot
So, I got a Pogo Stylus to try out with the iPad and Sketchbook Pro. It's close, but still not there. The feel is like drawing with a Q-Tip, and you have to push down harder than you'd expect.
I also have a few issues with Sketchbook Pro's interface: I found myself zooming in and positioning the drawing surface to favour the lower right-hand of the iPad so I could have my palm rest off of the surface (to lessen the amount of phantom strokes) I really don't like the 3-finger swipe to undo/redo, as it really takes you out of the flow of having to switch the stylus out of your hand to do the swipe. I'd much prefer the option to set a left screen tap for undo and a right screen tap for redo. Additionally, I found myself tapping WAY too much just to bring up the brush size, then move to top to select brush just to change colours, than tap outside to close menu, etc. TOO MUCH TAPPING!
I will say that I was able to get much better control than with just my finger, but was getting fatigued after 1/2 hour or so because you have to press hard with this stylus for it to take effect.
Can someone (*cough* WACOM) PLEASE develop a truly pressure-sensitive, bluetooth stylus with a real nib that works like a Cintiq or Intuos?!
