Intuos Creative Stylus - The First Draw

in

Yes, Intuos Creative Stylus for iPad is out.  Reports originally had out coming out to Best Buy for $99.99, but I found it there for $79.99. (price mistake - its $99.99).

First impressions are that it feels well made;  aluminum, lightweight, decently well balanced.  It doesn't feel uber-expensive, but it feels right in line with what I'd expect from a $99.99 pen when compared with the competition.  Except that it comes with a nicer case, 3 nibs, and a wacom name.

iPad 3 Announced - Same as iPad 2, But Better Display, Faster and a Little Thicker

in , ,

 

The major upgrades over the iPad 2 are:

  • Quadcore (claimed noticeably faster than competition with A5x processor)
  • Retina Display (I'm betting this is going to be the highest resolution display anybody is going to have for a while)
  • 4G Enabled - Fast, fast, fast
  • Camera - 5 MP, but same optics as iPhone 4S

You get all that at the same starting price the iPad2 started out with.  Not a bad deal!

If you want an iPad 2, they're now $100 cheaper.

Things I'm relieved about:

What's your killer business app on the iPad?

For me, its gotta be Logmein Ignition.  I have remote access to hundreds of PCs anywhere with WiFi or ATT 3G coverage both on my iPhone and in the future, a 3G iPad.

I imagine in the near future medical health records are going to be huge!  Artists may actually do some serious work, and photographers like myself might just do some photo editing and portfolio / shoot presentation and sales directly on the iPad.

Steve Jobs has announced the iPad this morning.  For the love of god, how did they come up with such a bad name when they have such awesome names for their Mac OS versions?!

Gizmodo has live coverage that is funny to read and informative here.

They've recently posted video from the introduction and are currently posting pictures taken minutes after they are shown.

From what I can tell its supposed to have around extended netbook battery life (around 8 hours +), runs on modified iPhone OS (also runs your iPhone apps), but with more features available with new SDK, revamped homescreen/interface, has a 9.7" screen that isn't quite HD perspective but not 4:3, has an onscreen keyboard, plays games, functions as ebook reader (with iBooks), up to 64 GB of flash memory and I want one!
