"Imagine a touch device that accepts...an ultra-precise fine-tipped stylus." I'm really hoping that this will happen soon. I know many designers who would love a pressure-sensitive drawing tablet (where you draw on the surface). Apart from digital drawing and animation, even photo editing and manipulation (like masking) is immeasurably more natural and easier to perform when using a pen directly on the surface of the screen. Right now there is only one serious contender in this market: Wacom. Their Cintiq brand lets you draw directly on the screen with a stylus. But the high cost of the product and the lack of competition means that hardly any movement has been made in this area for years. I keep hoping to see rival products, but it hasn't happened[1]. That's a great surprise (and disappointment). I find it hard to believe that this is just a niche market with limited appeal either. [1] Actually, there is one new rival that is getting some good reviews http://frenden.com/post/38693256477/yiynovamsp19u http://frenden.com/post/38693256477/yiynovamsp19u
