I'm interested in what this provides over different styli, but it's good to see Wacom getting their heads in the game on how to improve the iPad as a sketch tool.

Now all we need to do is wait for the hardware to catch-up...

...what?

I don't see any mention about it being pressure sensitive, which is something I'd want if I'm going to get any use out of it.

It seems to me to be more of a writing tool, rather than a drawing utensil. I know they mention sketching, but I can't see it using pressure sensitivity (unless it has something built into the pen itself ... oh damn, I just had an idea if it isn't )
My wife likes buying styli for her iPod and EVO. I can see her wanting one of these.

i use a [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Ten-Design-Sketch-Stylus-iPhone/dp/B001QHY2V4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1303333265&sr=8-3]pogo stylus[/ame], works great. this bamboo one does look slick and clean, but meh, pogo works great

it may write better or feel better on the screen because of that more solid looking tip. Its concerning there isn't a price listed on that page.. unless it isn't shipping now?

I've got no idea why the web page doesn't say it, but the email they sent out about it says that it's shipping in May. I assume that's why there's no price or shopping info.

According to Gizmodo it will be $30.

I'm just waiting patiently for a Bluetooth or a dock connector pen thing that has pressure sensitivity built into the pen it self.
That would be awesome.. Along side the new photoshop APIs this would be awesome. only a dream I guess.
