Wacom Inkling review - a digital drawing pen for artists
Inside the 200g-chocolate-bar-sized Inkling carry-case is the Inkling pen, the matchbox-sized receiver, a series of five replacement nibs and a mini-USB to USB cable. You clip the receiver to the top or side of your paper or note and start drawing away. Each stroke is recorded separately onto flash storage on the receiver, and a button on its top allows you to separate series of strokes into layers. To start a new drawing, you just turn the Inkling on and off, or just unclip it from the paper and insert a new page.
When you're back in your studio, you plug the either the receiver or the case into your Mac or PC over USB (both the pen and receiver connect into the case so you can charge both). The files are quickly imported into Wacom's SketchManager software, where they can be converted into layered bitmap images for use in Photoshop or Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, or as vectors for Illustrator or SketchBook Designer. Pressure sensitivity in the pen means that the thickness of strokes is reflected in the digital artwork.
Boogie Rip pitched as the write stuff
Q&A: Are e-readers worth a look?Are there any other e-writing tablets apart from the Boogie Rip available on the market? Improv Electronics’ tablet is the only product that has been classed an “e-writer”. But there are other writing tablets and stylus products out there, with the most notable being that from a company called Wacom (wacom.com), which offers various tablets for home users and graphic designers with prices starting US$57 (Dh209) on Amazon.com.
Hold on, is there an app for e-writing? Yes there is, an app called MyScript Stylus Mobile. This app is available for phones or tablets running the Android operating system and the Windows Mobile platform. It works with the use of your finger or a stylus, but it is mainly geared towards texting and chatting on social networks rather than note taking. A downside to it is that users cannot save their written notes in PDF format.
Wacom Cintiq Is an LCD Screen You Can Draw On
As an artist, I’ve always wanted some sort of one-to-one input when working in Photoshop or zBrush. I’ve used several of the traditional input tablets, but I’ve never been fully satisfied. I still ended up drawing on paper and scanning the results. It’s just more natural.
Input tablets have been constantly improving in the decades they’ve been around. But the technology remains imperfect. The pressure-sensitive pad sits on the desk, separate from the screen, which takes away some of that natural feel you get from drawing with a pen, especially when trying to add tiny details to your work.

DMA Central » Blog Archive » The Original Tablet: Inkling by Wacom
For artists that want the fine control that only a pen can offer, the Inkling does a great job of capturing the artist’s essence. Wacom’s always made high-quality digital artists’ tools and is a leader in the category. The Inkling works great for artists learning how to use Photoshop . Touch pads like the iPad and Galaxy Tab require the artist to touch the actual device display. If you’re an artist and prefer the traditional pen and paper method, then check out Wacom’s Inkling.

Wacom ditches the tablet for a pen-to-digital drawing solution |
“Designed for rough concepting and creative brainstorming, Inkling bridges the gap between paper sketching and digital drawing by giving users at the front end of the creative process a way to rough-out ideas with real ink on paper and capture their concepts digitally so that they can be later refined on their computer,” said Wacom in an August 30 press release.
The Inkling: A Wacom Tablet Without the Tablet - Core77
If it works as it's intended to, designers will love it: Wacom's upcoming Inkling device bridges the gap from analog to digital, allowing users to draw on anything and have those penstrokes saved as digital files.
The Inkling package consists of an actual pen filled with actual ink and a sensor that tracks the pen's position, with a few limitations—it needs line-of-sight, the tracking area corresponds with A4-sized paper, and you can't get too close to the sensor—but considering it promises to get your scribbles directly into Photoshop, Illustrator or Sketchbook Pro, that seems like a small price to pay.
...Wacom introduces Inkling tablet for sketchy people | 9to5Mac ...
The Inkling digital sketch pen captures a digital likeness of your work while you sketch with its ballpoint tip on any sketchbook or standard piece of paper. Designed for rough concepting and creative brainstorming, Inkling is ideal for the front end of the creative process. Later, refine your work on your computer using an Intuos4 tablet or Cintiq interactive pen display.
In addition to capturing your sketch, stroke by stroke, Inkling allows you to create layers in digital files while you sketch on paper. Digital files are transferred to your computer using the Inkling Sketch Manager software, and later, exported to applications such as Adobe® Photoshop® and Illustrator®. Files can also be opened with the included Inkling Sketch Manager software to edit, delete, add layers or change file formats.

Meh!
I’d have to try this, but it seems mainly useful for initial doodles and sketches. Does not appear to allow for more then just simple line work digital recording. And you’d still need a tablet if you want to build on top of the sketch in Photoshop or Sketchbook Pro. Which I bet is the workflow.
I can see it appealing to those who don’t like working on a Cintiq. But it doesn’t appear to allow you to have the ability to do shading effects you can get from a Prismacolor pencil.
The only really cool thing is converting linework to vector art.
