Yes, I agree. He uses it on the pad of paper at one point as well. I think you are correct about it being "height" from the "surface" rather than pressure. That would definitely take some getting used to.

Drawing on thin air might take a whole heckuva lot of getting used to for me since I have a slight jitter in my wrist.

The pressure sensitivity may be in the pen.
I don't know... that would require pushing on the LCD screen which as previously mentioned is a Bad Thing.

The product documentation mentions "Perfect brush effect by speed pressure technology" which implies that it's speed cued for pressure. Generally you're applying less pressure as you move the stylus faster. My biggest concern for laptop use would be wearing out the plastic screen cover because they're not designed for that sort of use. You'd need to get some sort of hard surface to cover your screen, I'd think.
I'm not sure if it's capacitance or optically base but it's still a cute little beastie, on par with the projection keyboards for PDAs that were developed some years back.
The batteries would likely be a big expense in the long term.
Since he uses it on a pad a paper, I'm thinking it is optically based. Yea, I agree about the batteries. I continuously look at battery expense now whenever looking at any sort of portable device for both reasons of expense and environmental impact.

Well, from a carpal tunnel point of view I'd stick with the pencil scan...you can never really beat that in my opinion. Once you develop some proficiency with a tablet it's just as good and saves you from having to scan things in and adjust the contrast...more of a time-saver kind of thing there. With the vast amount of custom brushes available for the software there are countless things that you can do with a tablet that you cannot do by hand. So I'd say, get one and be sure to take the time and force yourself to get used to it (they can be kind of quirky at first).

Really? I thought his few posts at least made sense. Oh well.

The post to this thread was the only one that came close to making sense except for all the typos and then the tell tale links in a "sig block" that wasn't in the signature area, but in the post itself. That is a dead giveaway.
