According to an exchange with Wacom customer service, shared by reader Brian Eun, the pen will be officially unveiled and show up on Wacom’s site May 31.
Several other pen enthusiasts on Twitter and have reported finding them in stores throughout the country.
It showed up at Best Buy online a few weeks ago without a ship date and as I write this post, that retailer still shows the pen as a pre-order item with no store availability.Last week, I was able to order one online and received it two days after walking in to my local Best Buy and purchasing another one in person. Instead, he tweeted the news a few minutes after he got off the stage.For the next nine months, we heard nothing until Wacom issued a release at CES that the pen was almost ready. There is a power button (and a confusing switch which I’ll get to shortly) which I assumed was what I needed to hold but that didn’t seem to do anything.But presenter Bryan Roper ran out of time during his Windows Ink demo and forgot to mention the. But there’s no indication of what to hold.
I suspect that novice users would end up with some degree of frustration.įor example, the Inkspace app directs you to “Hold for 6 Seconds”. The instructions are in point form but tell you nothing other than the need to install an app “like the Bamboo Paper app and Inkspace by clicking on Marketplace”.Īnd while there’s a pairing process to follow, the instructions to do this were poor. Setting up the Bamboo Tip is reasonably straightforward but the accompanying documentation is, well terrible could be an understatement. The Wacom Bamboo Tip is a stylus solution that lets you scribble notes and sketch on your iOS or Android device. That’s spawned a number of other options with Apple even develop their own Pencil – albeit at an eye-watering price. When Apple introduced the first iPhone, one of the things Steve Jobs lamented was styluses – those small plastic sticks that slotted into the side of many devices back in 2007 that we often lost.
