(?) Who stylus that he will make the best service?
=> A broad base of "nostalgic" handwriting or all pragmatists who see that take handwritten notes often goes much faster, stopwatch in hand, as typing the same text on touch pad (even knowing typing, even on an external bluetooth keyboard)
=> All who take handwritten notes "on the fly", possibly illustrating the small sketches, small additional drawings
=> All those (and those) that fingerprints disgust on touchscreens, which are true rinks and undoubtedly nests germs. This is buying in Asia the main motivation.
=> All buyers willing to pay a little extra for a well finished and elegant, otherwise there are many competitive alternatives
=> All those who love to draw on their touch pad (Artrage, Sketchbook Pro, etc.). This pen will give a little more precision in their accomplishments (do not expect miracles either), including in vector mode (for the selection of shapes). And is sufficiently well done to not look like a ridiculous toy but a real complement work tool.
(+) Highlights
=> An impeccable finish, the height of the WACOM reputation
=> Quality materials: matt aluminum alloys, plastic body but nice outfit (matte plastic)
=> Good balance, good grip, which is the decisive criterion in this type of product. The stylus is heavy (unlike stilettos much cheaper), but not too much, just enough to constitute a substantial product ensures a perfectly comfortable grip, even in extended use
=> Above all, this stylus works with the app. "Bamboo Paper" (for iOS) WACOM (in "lite" version free, a more advanced version can be purchased in purchase "in-app" for a very small fee). This application is the ideal complement: sober, with, again, excellent finishes and touches like the possilité export to Evernote. We write in it with the same ease that manuscript basis over the "real" paper or almost (there is just a small latency or "lag" of a few thousandths of a second, barely noticeable on a mobile device last generation)
=> An aesthetic success, harmonizing well with a simple tablet
(-) The weak points
=> March 2013 Update: The default delivered plastic tip is too fragile and will tear too easily in moderate daily use, after a few weeks. I had to replace it at my expense (about 4 Euros, excluding shipping). More durable quality expected from WACOM on that!
=> The product is bulky like a big pen. We can forget it, lose it at any time. There is no provision to attach it to the tablet, which is a shame. A competitor has implemented a magnetic attachment system, and it is better than nothing.
=> The pen is not a marvel of precision, although it is better than most. But do not blame WACOM, it comes with a screen technology that can not be built through sensitive to pressure. Competitors can not do significantly better in the current state of technology on tablets, although proclaim. Precision illustration is not (yet?) To the scope of such tools on current tablets, do not dream (not the precision of a graphic pad for computer).
=> This model pen that he is not a combo with a traditional pen, which can be seen as a force (for the purists) or as a disability (occasional users or travelers)
=> Above all, it is far too primitive object and single-use compared to the clutter. It looks forward to the inclusion in this stylus a lot more embedded technologies. First because we expect much more of the WACOM expertise than a piece of plastic. Then one might imagine because many other services rendered. Some smartphones and tablets Korean already implementing other services at least as useful: pen microphone, camera pen, stylus for sensitive remote controls, tell us a little dream!
