Well... yes and no, based on our experiences with the iLiad. There is no software currently available that uses (or even captures) the pressure-sensitive data on the WACOM pen, but the data
is generated, so it should be possible to write or port something. For the DR1000, a lot will depend on what iRex makes possible in the SDK. For the iLiad, iRex seems about to release source for all the code they wrote for it, which may open up all kinds of possibilities. In addition, the iLiad will probably be available used as the DR1000 hits the market.
The granularity of sketches on the iLiad isn't all that great, however. Hopefully that's a matter of software, rather than hardware.
