Turn your MAC laptop trackpad into a drawing tablet

Want to buy a drawing tablet for your MAC notebook for your graphic design, but cant afford one? then this may be the solution for your problem. Pogo Sketch Stylus, from Ten One Design, this product can make any touchscreen or touch-pad that can take gestures, act like a stylus so this means you dont have to use your fingers and save's you a big bucks.

In my other post this is like the wacom bamboo pen and touch tablet. this can make your designing much easier and faster for it it like a pencil, making it a low-cost alternative to a drawing tablet. This means that graphic artist of the design may be able to go about drawing and writing naturally in illustration programs without the need for a costly tablet.

Wacom Bamboo review

note: video is owned by Wacom.(video sample is for Wacom Pen and touch.)

The Feel the need for speed, i recommend using Wacom bamboo tablets, feels like ordinary pencil you use in drawing for graphic artist and graphic designer. There are five different Wacom bamboo tablets, Bamboo pen, Bamboo touch, Bamboo pen and touch, Bamboo fun, and Bamboo craft. It could either be multitouch or pen or both touch and pen capabilities with gestures just like in your competitive computers out there. Now that the upcoming Adobe Photoshop cs5 brush 2 color mixing capability you will love this.
