Wacom Intuos5 is out, and in stock on Amazon USA.

I was about to say that Wacom was quick but I found out that Intuos4 was released in March 2009.

Reviews are in for the Wacom Inkling on Amazon.

They are mixed, with some pretty bad. There's one with a video comparing a scan with the Inkling's rendition and it doesn't make the Inkling look good.

Skottie Young bought it, tried it and will be returning it.

Below's a video review that shows the positive side of Inkling. Looks like it's not bad for sketching. You can check out the guy's review and pictures on his blog.

Wacom has just introduced a rather interesting product called Inkling. Kudos for coming up a product that mimics the tactile feeling of drawing.

It consist of a receiver that you clip to your drawing surface such as a notebook, and a Wacom ballpoint pen. While you're drawing, the receiver will record your lines — your drawing — and allow you to open them digitally after you transfer to your computer via USB.

The retail price is set to be US$199. I hope they don't charge ridiculous prices for their ink cartridge.

Would you buy it?
