I’ve been bobbing about here in the UK, trying to find out what Steve Jobs is saying – and found this titbit here. Oh my, Brushes as a part of it? Wow. I was wondering if Jobs/Apple were taking any note of the artists.

OMG — price range $499 – $829!!!! WHAT?!!!! Lovely…and I like this keyboard doc thing…makes it legit computer.

only issue thus far–our pressure sensitivity concerns were not addressed. but, valid point was made (sorry I can’t remember who made the comment in the last post)–possibly the issue can be addressed through app development?

…or through accessories maybe: say, a pen with pressure sensitivity with an according device plugged into the connector.

Nice, but as Chris Pirillo points out, it has no camera. I don’t usually paint from photos – and of course the machine is too big to use conveniently as a camera. All the same, even my MacBook has a camera.

Hey Benj, hope that extra sensitive pen makes it one day, it’s the only thing missing for me. I can live without the camera, though it would have been perfect for vid calls through Skype and the likes… I still will need my desktop for this Maybe on iPad 2.0. I hope the precision is bigger too so thinner Stylus could be used. Brushes looks cool on it, the new options and picture replay are nice additions.
