So, I think this product looks like a dud. I've taken several hundred pages of handwritten notes on the iPad without a stylus which look as good as what this seems to achieve from the glimpse on the video. |
That's nice, but I don't see any especially fine details. And even for moderate details he has to zoom in to compensate. You'd have to zoom in reeeaaally close to even begin to replicate pen-like precision. Literally losing sight of the bigger picture in the process.
