The new project involves the same pen mount product – a magnet holds your Wacom or drawing pen in place so you can use the keyboard and then flip it back into your hand when you’re ready to draw
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.
Wacom Co., a manufacturer of touch-based graphic tablets and pens with U.S. operations headquartered in Vancouver, reported a 21 percent year-over-year drop in U.S. sales and 6.2 percent drop worldwide for the fiscal quarter ending June 30. The company recorded about $21.2 million in U.S. sales and $92.3 million worldwide for the quarter.
The Japanese company’s quarterly earnings report, issued last week, attributed the drop to the lingering impact of the March 11 Japan earthquake on manufacturing, the rising value of the Japanese yen, and a change in its product line that dampened sales.
Signature Capturing
Telepass has rolled out 300 signature tablets of the type SignPad eSignio (Wacom STU-500). This kind of signature tablet was chosen because signatures captured on its screen resemble the way signatures look on paper almost perfect. Signers experience a natural way of signing on screen unlike on devices known from courier services. They have the visual impression that their signature is taken seriously. The large 5 inch screen of the SignPad eSignio allows displaying corresponding text the purpose of signing clear and crisp and it offers also excellent visibility of content on screen in bright Italian sunshine due to its reflective TFT. Another reason for Telepass to choose the SignPad eSignio was its long life expectancy due to its robust design. The sensor lies below the display surface, preventing the wear and tear found in devices based on other technologies. Softpro hardware partner Wacom has developed the SignPad eSignio based on detailed specifications from the German signature experts. Wacom and Softpro joined forces with the Italian specialist for electronic document processing Kartha who are supplying the SignPads to Telepass.

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.

In his Burbank office at Film Roman, a Starz Media Company, he uses the Wacom Cintiq tablet that works like a sketch pad. He draws the actors and the acting by pressing the pen to the tablet and the image transfers onto the computer screen.
