Yup. Apple has some work to do if they are going to make the ipad into a device for graphic artists to take seriously IMO.

Apple Stores are selling those Pogo stylus just so you know... They're not against stylus, they're just not promoting it for normal use. I have a Pogo stylus (which I bought from the Apple Store) for my iPad but I only use for sketching and illustration...

Sad that a lot of useful stuff is at risk because of that policy.Unfortunately, they utilize private frameworks to access the data. Typically, Apple does not allow App Store apps to take advantage of private frameworks...
It lags and not accurate this would work better on a faster processor which is shockingly should run real time without lag with this software only being a sketch app.
Also, make it more accurate with the retina display allowing it to be more accurate with smaller pixels.

Once again the App store holds back innovation. Think different? Not anymore.

In fact, Apple Stores USE these styluses. That's how you enter your signature into their iPod touch-based checkout devices (the ones with a case that adds a battery, a credit card reader, and a barcode scanner)
That looks pretty sweet for casual graphic type stuff. Obviously anyone serious about it would get an actual Wacom tablet or Cintiq but it's still neat![]()
What is the frame around the iPad? Is that anything special or just their frame for fun-n-design? I am assuming the iPad works with just the stylus.
You can't really compare these solutions. Cintiq is for un-compromised quality while tethered to your desk. A main goal of the iPad is portability.
I'm a bit confused about the pressure sensitive part. The guy in the video is just changing the angle of the pen, making it either a small or a larger ,dot' to track. The handpalm and finger filtering looks like the sw is ignoring the larger gesture impressions.
All in all nice but less cooler than it is presented.

Someone has probably already posted this and you've probably seen it, but if you haven't seen this video, you should watch it. Stephen Fry tweeted about it - check it out.

This would go some distance toward making the iPad useful as a drawing tool, but it's still not going to give the same level of control that a Wacom-type firm-tip, pressure-sensitive stylus would provide. There would be only two ways to implement that: 1) communicating the pressure data to the app via bluetooth or a dock connection, or 2) putting a sensing grid inside directly behind the screen.
Option 2 would require Apple to do it, and since they have no interest in supporting styluses, this isn't going to happen. Stop wishing.
Option 1 would require either batteries in the pen to power wireless communication (which would make it bulky, and require recharging), or connecting it via the dock with a cable (which would be awkward). This, by the way, is how it used to be done before Wacom took over the industry with their superior tech.
Personally, I'm going to stick to using my old second-hand TabletPC for drawing. Artists with bigger budgets can opt for a ModBook or a Cintiq.
This probably won't happen because Steve Jobs doesn't like styluses. Just because you can buy one doesn't mean that it's well supported by the hardware (i.e. you have to avoid touching your palm to the screen or wear gloves). I just don't see that changing because of SJ's philosophy.
