Hello, Future: Wacom’s New ‘Inkling’ Is An Ink Pen, And A Computer Pen

It's pretty neat - the new pen by Wacom draws like a regular pen, but has a pressure-sensitive receiver that records your actual drawings for digital import and computer manipulation. So when you doodle obscene images, they show up directly onto your screen. Welcome to the future.

There are other ink-to-digital pens out there – but the Inkling is better. Not just because Wacom told me to say that – it’s twice as sensitive as any other digital pen on the market. And sensitivity is what I look for in my pens.

It’s meant to retail in the US at around $200, set for release in mid-September.
