I think the way Vellum (the app) handles pressure, eg. varying thickness according to speed, is an excellent interim solution even when the screen doesn’t register pressure.

Great ideas… and yes yes yes… portability is tops, touch sensitivity, higher resolution, open apps to make swapping app to app seamless and greater touch sensitivity all round… but in the UK at least …. price!

right…pressure sensitivity is at the very top of my list too…and I wouldn’t mind it being both responsive to touch and a stylus…even tho, I’m more prone to touch…

and it most certainly has to create higher resolution files, just naturally…with little to no modification beyond print-size.

funtionality is key too…i need it to be mobile…as mobile as iphone, really. which means it needs to be lightweight. If I could fold it up and put in my pocket, that would be good too…but I understand that’s maybe pushing things a bit too far…but hey, we can dream too, can’t we?

I, too, like Thierry’s take on publishing…hmmm…

Can’t wait to see it! We’ll have to see how many things on this growing list gets checked after the presentation. EXCITINGGGGG!!!!!!!!

Fascinating article. Yes, pressure sensitivity is a must. Also the ability to move between apps without losing detail.

Though I hope this iPad will have a bigger screen, I do hope too that it won't be too big and heavy, but will be seductively light, thin and very very portable. Don't want to lose the huge advantage of the iphone/ipod - that you can pick it up like a sketchpad and hold it at any angle.

You’ve really thought it through. Pressure sensitivity and a more natural way to vary texture and brushes would be wonderful. Higher res for saving a must. I have read that there are some new patents for touch screen control. I don’t understand the implications for us, but it is very hopeful.
