@bradazz549 It's Wacom; quality. Plus, not all scanners give you the option of making the pictures you've sketched vectored without some third party tool from another vendor.
As I noticed, a lot of buyers of new Wacom Inkling have the same problem as I have. We ordered and payed a product almost a month ago, but they are obviously incompetent to provide the promised product within the agreed time. Some customers were informed with emails about the delays, some not, but I think that this is a great shame and immaturity for Wacom!
OMG! Vector? Really? You mean I can draw out all my histogram graphs, and easy enlarge them, fill them in with another vector program on my computer, and send it to another person?
@Khoiruchan A lot of people find id difficult to draw lineart digitally. with this you get a vector lineart with the use of a traditional medium. I think it's brilliant!
Been a pen sketcher for 25 years, always found usual tablets so uninstinctive, drawing on a surface looking at another... And now i ll be able to do my old school thing, naturally.... WACOM YOU ROCK!!!!
@ScyL0n It will be $199 in the US, €169 in the EU and £149 in the UK. They are taking orders now but they won't be shipped till the 30th of september. :c
@nguyenthuthuy (Not to pick, but I want to point out to the many doing it, that the dollar sign goes in front of the numbers :> And yeah, $199.00 is an awesome price for this.
It would be much more awesome if it could be also used directly with computer like other tablets. Like this.. its not that much better than just scanning your papers :P
@risajkl But when you scan it it does your scanner convert it to vector? an this you can use anywhere without a pc or laptop. So sketching on holiday etc.
And undo button, and a way to check what layer you're on a switch between them would be useful, but this is a great step up in technology, you're geniuses!! ;u;
@willpheonix By having the ability to create layers means it's a lot easier, and you can transfer it onto the computer with ease and do computer work. So actually, it's a lot better than pen and paper. :P
This would be great for animation. Draw a frame, new layer, draw next frame, etc etc. Traditional animation and it would save a ton of time on scanning.
Was anger to got it... now I wonder.. WHAT is the point of this? Portability with no undo? Otherwise, you already CAN have a inking pen with your wacom tablet. Working outside? Well if you have serious work, forget about this: no undo, special expensive wacom refill, small area (a4 max) no control on heavy thickness, and what's the hurry to get it scan in the park? just bring back you paper and scan it HI-RES at home! With the real tickness and erased area! (not mentioning the brush inking...)
@nicoluru Its cheaper then a good scanner and it can export the the drawings as vector based images which means no resolution problems at all. The Ink refill is a standard ballpoint 1mm ball size. I don't see A4 as small. 11x8.5 inches is decent, mind you i was hoping for 11x17. If you mean what i think your mean with "no control on heavy thickness" it is a pressure sensitive pen.
@Aloneus81 That are good argues against my post! I think you're right on all this... Just not sure about vectorizing a very sketchy drawing but must give a try!
@lordashraf i actually dreamed a decide like this way back in 1995.I would totally get one. I need one asap.I am still waiting for a portable scanner.like really small.so that I could scan some pages at my local library.
@cannoir I find such device to be very practical for artists. Much better than being bound to the desk to work on a PC or Laptop. As for scanning I worked around this. Sometimes I work at a coffee shop or a social club for a change, so I take a picture of my sketch, with my mobile phone, transfer it to the laptop, retouch or fix contrast if needed, then start digitizing it. I used Samsung F440 and Nokia E72 and both results were good for digitizing.
@ninjaassn said "Awesome!!! but where is my undo button? :D "
Well there is no undo button, but there is a redo button which is the left button and ripping of that page or go to the next page and start drawing again.
That is probably its only flaw but, do we realy care because now we can be digital sketchers with maximum mobility with great precsicion + u have the possibilty to edit.
@ninjaassn The undo is possible when you import the vectors, because you can just delete the handles of the lines you don't want (an almost instantaneous task). Alternatively, I guess you could slip tracing paper under the clip and click for a new layer. There will be some disadvantages with the Inkling, I'm sure, but the things it does well are amazing. Being able to pull handles and adjust the lines of my sketch, without any laborious CS5 Pen function work? Must have it.
I wonder what dimensions the piece of paper has to be. The ones shown as examples all seemed to be uniformly the same size. Brilliant regardless of page size restrictions (if they exist).
This is amazing! I can see it being a very helpful sketch dumping tool! Scanning from sketchbooks is just such a drag. I'd love to see this as a mechanical pencil, too, even though I understand erasing would be a bit complicated from a technical standpoint.
It doesn't matter if stuff like this has already been created, but it has never been created as good as Wacom has done it. There's a reason why Wacom is this well respected. It's just perfected technology that others lacked to perfect and made it just so something is made, which ends in no popularity nor quality.
But when it's this well done, it's a life-changer. :]
Not to be a buzzkill either, but this is nothing new. Sure, you've maked it better, you polished the existing technology, but it's nothing new.
Digital graphic pens have existed for a few years, already (take the ODYS Digital Graphic Pen, for example). Also, I don't see anything about text recognition in the Inkling, which was already present in digital pens back in 2007.
You've certainly done it good (specially with the pressure sensibility and the multi-layer capacity), but not new.
Sorry to be a buzzkill, but the video doesn't make it entirely clear whether the pen is laying down ink, or it's tracing over a drawing made with another conventional ink pen. It would be nice if there was a close up of the tip of the Wacom pen actually laying down ink.
I had to check Wacom's site to find out whether Inkling is actually a pen or not. Turns out that it is. I think the video would be more effective if it made that point clearer.
it's beautiful!

For those talking about an undo button I have 2 suggestions...
1) sketch out in pencil and then use this pen to do the inking of final sketch.
2) start a new layer and that way when you import the file to your computer you can just delete that layer
