Naughty Dog Artists Use Wacom Cintiq
The artists of Uncharted and Uncharted 2, Naughty Dog, explain why they prefer to use the Wacom Cintiq 21ux.
The first thing you notice when you walk into Naughty Dog's Santa Monica, Calif., headquarters is a wall-to-wall glass case filled with colorful trophies and awards for "Uncharted" and "Uncharted 2," Naughty Dog's incredibly popular games for Sony PlayStation 2 and 3. Both titles have been praised for their stunning and fluid graphics, mostly created using Wacom® Cintiq® 21UX interactive pen displays.

Wacom Cintiq 24HD Tablet Demonstrations
Since we all can't or don't need to buy the top of the line Cintiq 24HD by Wacom, the next best thing is to play with one at a store. If that's still not possible, then I recommend watching some demonstrations!
This demo and review is a little over 9 minutes, but is very helpful. He demos the stylus as well as the scroll wheel and buttons. Skip to 7:50 for his opinions of the cons. Cintiq 24HD Review and Demo.
This video shows the Cintiq 24hd in action! I'm not a fan of the music, but I liked watching his progress. Drawing on the Cintiq 24HD.
Not the best video, but gives you a good idea of the size of the 24HD. Quick review and demonstration of the Wacom Cintiq 24HD.

Architect Stylus Better Than Wacom Stylus?
As much as I really like my Wacom stylus, I'm glad there are alternatives that can give the Wacom digitizers a run for their money.
Aluminum-machined styluses are all the rage these days, it seems, with Arctic Accessories’s $23 Architect Stylus the latest in a long line of impeccably-designed devices. But while the Architect may take its cues from Adonit’s line of capped pens and the sleek figure of Wacom’s Bamboo, the Architect winds up being in a class all its own.

The company is trying to raise money on Kickstarter. If you like being the first to buy new gadgets, then you might want to help them out since the first 500 people will be able to buy the Jaja for $40.If you like to sketch on your iPad, you know there are a bunch of styluses on the market and coming out which try to improve upon the drawing and painting experience in apps like ArtRage.

I can't vouch for Dell's online customer service since I've never bought anything from them, but I bet they aren't bad. Hrm, even if they have poor customer service, I'd still recommend buying this Bamboo pen tablet. It's too great of a discount to pass up! Nov 29, 2011

GameDev.net Forum Thread About Wacom
More proof that Wacom is the preferred tablet of graphic designers and digital artists! Read the full thread at GameDev.net.
I considered buying a tablet. I’ve heard here and there that WACOM is one of the best choices to make. Since I am planning to use a tablet mainly with Photoshop and rarely Autodesk products I read the certifications in the official websites. I, however, thought it would be better if I asked “know how” people about the choice of a tablet.

Samsung Highlights the Galaxy Note’s Wacom Digitizer
I'm glad to see that we will be able to use Photoshop Touch and possibly other drawing apps on more than just the iPad.
Galaxy Note is the first device that incorporates their pen input experience into a smartphone form factor. Samsung is taking advantage of the tech with modifications to its TouchWiz interface, plus custom note, writing and art apps that allow for true graphics tablet functions on the five-inch device. Imagine using something like Photoshop Touch on that sensitive screen. Samsung’s SDK will allow third-party developers to take advantage of the hardware as well.

Design Inspiration Tuesdays!
This site is focused on Wacom tablets, but as a graphic designer, I'm interested in art as well of course. I'm constantly looking for inspiration online and in life so I thought it would be nice to show art that can be created using Wacom or other tablets. Hopefully you'll be inspired too!
The theme today, which was unintentional, is "romantic"? Er, that's the best I can think of to describe it.

Asus BP121 has the Ability to Work with Absolute Software's LoJack
Asus Windows tablet adds Computrace LoJack security features
Asus announced a Windows tablet designed for business users, featuring a TPM (trusted platform module), Computrace LoJack readiness, and the Windows 7 Professional operating system. The Eee Slate BP121 includes a 1.33GHz Core i5 processor, a 12.1-inch display with 1280 x 800 resolution, a Wacom digitizer, solid-state storage, and a Bluetooth-interfaced keyboard, the company says.Many vendors of Windows 7 tablets leave it up to the buyer's imagination as to whether the devices would be suitable for the enterprise. Asus, on the other hand, emphasizes the BP121's business credentials, citing a TPM, the inclusion of Windows 7 Professional (with domain join functionality), and the ability to work with Absolute Software's LoJack solution.

Digital Art Software for Beginners
Read this before buying any digital software! I offer some suggestions for beginners.
Recommended software for beginners
Depending on how you plan to use your Wacom tablet, you might not need professional or expensive software. Some of the more basic Wacom models come with some software already, but the Bamboo Touch doesn’t include any software.
Here’s a list of my top design software choices for beginners with product features.

Windows 7 PenBook Tablet on FCC Website
This Cregle PenBook tablet is interesting. It may not look as sleek as other Wacom tablets, but it has a Wacom active digitizer and other nifty features.
The Cregle PenBook is a new tablet computer with a 10 inch display. But while most tablets hitting the market this year run Google Android, the PenBook is a Windows 7 machine. It also adds a digital pen for handwriting and drawing to the mix.
We first heard about the PenBook last month, and now the tablet has shown up at the FCC website. While there’s still no official release date, it looks like the computer is inching a little closer to reality.

Wacom Bamboo Stylus for the iPad
Tech Digest Weighs in on Wacom's Bamboo Stylus for iPad
Verdict:
You'll have to be pretty big on tablet doodling to justify shelling out £25 for a capacitive stylus, but if you are, there are no finer options than Wacom's Bamboo Stylus for iPad. A well-weighted finger alternative with a responsive nib, you'll be an iPad Picasso in no time with the stylus. We'd personally like to have seen a smaller tip, which we believe would have lead to even greater accuracy in our hands, but for the most part this will be a point of personal preference, married with the brush/ tip size specifications of the app you're using. Highly recommended otherwise.

HP Elitebook 2760p Works as a Tablet Too
This notebook tablet might not be a Wacom, but it does use the Wacom digitizer.
Click here if you want more information about the HP Elitebook!Pen and Touch
A dual pen + touch digitizer is standard on the 2760p. It is the Wacom digitizer model with two-finger input. Responsiveness is excellent, as is typical of the brand. As previously stated, touch works well up to and at the edges of the display.
Pen input, however, loses precision near the edges. This normal for Wacom digitizers, as I’ve seen this on every one I’ve used. It’s fine for tapping buttons, but you’ll see wobbliness while jotting notes in the margins. Of course, between zoom and infinite virtual pages, it’s not like you’ll be squeezed for writing space. Away from the edges, both pen and touch work fine. The strengthened glass screen provides a no-flex writing area.
