What do you think of DUO Pen?

NOTE: This device does not support pressure sensitivity. (Just thought I'd answer that question)

mmm looks pretty impresive Mike

I have had 2 Artpads over the years and while they were great and if you are into Drawing then they can really amazing help, I found that they were not 100% accurate and had a few glitches...

Now this Pen looks like it done the job the others have'nt :) But you have to draw on screen with it instead of onto a pad :? Thats okay if you dont want to do Artwork, but for the Designers etc of the world i think it would be just another Gadget, but hey i like the idea...

Its a shame they cant invent a wireless Pen that draws on any surface ( not a pad or screen) like a Table top or the house wall and it beams it to the pc accurately..................Now that would get my full attention..

Interesting post Mike cooll;

It'd be great to give presentations imo, or work on something in a classroom and help teach to students, but without pressure sensitivity It lacks imo. I'd rather use a wacom bamboo tablet, but that's me.

It's a nice cool device, but that's one thing I think it needs to have if reaching to designers.

It looks amaazing but it is not pressure sensitive otherwise it would have been great. Graphic tablets would work better.

I think it would be possible to draw on a table, because then you would only need to place the wireless device on the table (just like on top of the laptop)

That pen looks sweet, but I missed the price? I don't believe it's worth more than 300 USD

It looks really good but not really practical unless you do presentations or something because writing/drawing upright would be hard unless you were standing up and also strain your arms which would get tired very quickly lol. Its better to use those type of things on a flat surface so a graphics tablet would be better.

Im not too sure about touchscreen monitors and stuff at the moment because of the upright/strain thing but also because lets be honest a mouse and keyboard is a lot more comfortable and quicker. Its ok in tablet PCs because you usually keep them flat all the time anyway even when walking around with them..but on a desktop PC with an upright monitor it just doesnt do it for me :? ..if I ever got a touchscreen monitor I would probably use it every-so-often to do things like launching apps from desktop icons but thats about it for me lol.

If it was a choice between the DUO pen and a graphics tablet I would go for the tablet cooll;
