![]() ![]() The fineline unlocks special tools in the free Paper app with purchase, too, and these provided more than my required share of options for light sketching, jotting down ideas and taking handwritten notes in the app. Wacom is also planning to roll out cloud services that will let the pen automatically share files and settings across different devices through the pen’s Bluetooth connection. The palm rejection is intelligent and faultless in my experience, and it has a standard microUSB charging port in the base that juices a battery good for up to 26 hours of continuous use. Its pressure sensitivity also works well in Bamboo Paper at least, and it supports other apps as well via Bamboo’s developer partnerships. ![]() Let’s start with the best: The Bamboo Stylus fineline is indeed a significant improvement on the Bamboo line, with a thin tip that works better in terms of mimicking a natural drawing and writing experience. It ships in October, however, so for the time being I was only able to try out the new Bamboo line. ![]() It’s aimed at digital artists, and could provide a better mobile workflow for users of Wacom’s Intuos and Cintiq line that’s suitable for when they’re on the road. The more expensive Intuos Creative Stylus 2 is just $79.95 (you couldn’t get a pressure sensitive stylus for less than that when they first started becoming available) and should offer the most sensitivity on the market. All three are going on sale September 4, via Wacom’s online store and select retail partners. The new Bamboo Solo and Bamboo Duo won’t break the budget, at $19.95 and $29.95 respectively, and even the Bamboo Stylus fineline is only $59.95 despite its Bluetooth connectivity and pressure sensitivity. Two entry-level Bamboo styluses offer a better nib, with one adding an ink pen on the opposite end, and the Bamboo Stylus fineline has a special thin tip with 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity, and the Intuos Creative Stylus 2 doubling that with 2048 levels of pressure, on par with some of Wacom’s top-end artistic tablets. Wacom has a series of new stylus devices for tablets and smartphones that it’s launching today, including three new Bamboo devices and a new Intuos version, with two aimed specifically at the iPad with special Bluetooth-powered pressure sensitivity abilities. ![]()
