    Here's the thing about vector lines, they're really hard to make look nice. I've never been able to get them where they need to be without tweaking them with the pen tool... so unless this magically has a really nice stroke engine, I see this as totally useless. It's possible to have a nice stroke engine for linework, Sketchbook Pro has one... but it's the only one I know of that hits the sweet spot between user input and streamlining. I'm very skeptical Wacom can pull this off.

    I hope there is an option to record line data as a dead line -without the pressure effecting the width of the stroke- because that's about the only way I can see getting usable vectors out of this thing.

    It's certainly exciting new tech, and it makes me hopeful for future universal digitizer pens. I just can't help but feel that these will be collecting dust almost immediately.
