Abstract: Say hello to the Wacom Inkling, the ultimate slate for illustrators. It's not your typical tablet easel: instead, it's all about making digital drawings on plain old paper. Just grab a pencil and start sketching, and with the camera attached at the top...

Slick concept. Easy to use, intuitive. You can rotate the paper or work at any angle. A nice glimpse of what the future of Wacom might hold
Accuracy of the digital translation has a way to go. Better for first drafts than finished works. Be careful not to bump it too hard — especially when pressing the “New Layer” button
Effectively transports your notes and sketches onto your computer; works with any notebook; nicely portable.
