Ich habe Deutsch zu schule studieren, aber ich habe alles vergessen. Unglucklicherweise.

I'm buying it and I've never complained about the price of AS. So yeah. *crosses arms*

Hey ponysmasher. Where did you pre-order your Inkling?

Cheers

I can see the Inkling on the international english Wacom site but Australia is'nt listed as a country they will deliver to

The Australian Wacom site does not have the Inkling listed at all.

Ahhh....yes I see the news release on the AU Wacom site but the Inkling is not available from their AU product section to buy, whereas the international site has it listed for pre purchase.

I want one

I understand, but it depends on their business deal with their Australian distributor, maybe they cant just sell to Australia from their international site, as international sites usually sell to countries with no on-site distributors.

Be patient young padawan!

And what is wrong with the scanner at paper this max size? I also have been told the tolerances are a little loose as far as accuracy goes so the scanner will probably still give a more accurate reproduction.

I'd have to try and Inkling before deciding it's usefulness. Nonetheless...

I like to sketch on medium-to-large paper sizes (18"x24" or larger), so I'm disappointed about the 8.5"x11" paper size limitation. I guess one might be able to move the sensor horizontally on larger paper but I'm not sure if that would actually work for a large drawing.

Also, because of the 8.5"x11" paper size limitation, I don't see how an Inkling could be hugely better than scanning sketches and then using vectoring software. I guess if Inkling's software did a sweet job exporting to a vector format for AS import (such that I didn't have to spend hours futzing with the imported drawing in AS) then I'd be interested.

So as far as the accuracy goes...

From the FAQ page is wrote:How accurate are the sketches?
In general, sketches with Inkling will be accurate to within +/- 2.5 mm in the main drawing area of an A4 page, and within +/- 5.0 mm at the edges of the page.

Wow. That is really not at all accurate.

and, although I have to admit that I'm guessing here, the sensor will most probably track the pen in space and not, as such, on the paper - meaning if the paper is not completely flat or if the sensor moves a bit the the drawing on the paper will look right but the recorded vectors might not... notice that the promo videos all seem to show it used on a book not a single sheet.
