I'd love for the iPad to be a great digital creation tool. I really would.
But as it stands, it's horrible. It's laggy, lacks pressure sensitivity, and the apps are clunky at best.
Here's to hoping there's a push from Apple to improve things. But for the time being Microsoft's Surface line is about a thousand times better for actual creatives.

- bornabox 12y agoAstropad has a 7 day tryout. So, I've been using it to pretty great results. I like it. With Wifi it's actually laggy, but with the USB cable, it has been very fast. Pressure sensitivity isn't that important to me - depends on your use-case. Tried it with Photoshop and Illustrator and it works great. Being able to see what you draw is great, far better then a normal Wacom Tablet. So far, it's a great option. A bit on the expensive side, but cheaper then having to buy a Cintiq or a Surface :)
- mronge 12y agoI'm glad you like it! If you can, try using your wifi on the 5ghz band. In some cases that helps a lot
- leppr 12y agoI don't think Apple really cares about that since one of the most important design decisions made to create the iPhone/iPad was dropping stylus support. If they wanted their products to be creation devices we'd notice, they just don't. Now with the way their product line has been going recently they very well could announce an iPad "creative edition" to compete with Wacom but that'd be a huge change of direction.
