I doubt any phone will be considered an artistic device. Matt

The Samsung Galaxy Note II will be announced August 29th and I think it will be more targeted to the artistic people as you can see in this teaser: http://androidandme.com/2012/08/smartphones-2/samsung-teases-galaxy-note-ii-in-new-online-video/ /Jens On Tue, Aug 21, 2012 at 8:06 PM, Matt Lind <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: The tablet comes with Photoshop Touch installed. I have the Galaxy Note phone, which ironically has the same screen resolution as the tablet. The apps are pretty nice but do take some getting used to. While the Note comes with a stylus, can be used to paint and other creative things, it's targeted towards a light business audience, not artistic (write memos, fill out forms, communicate on the go, etc...).

Nice that it has a pressure sensitive pen (Wacom) Like you said, the review is not great. And it's Android OS which does not support Photoshop. I don't know of any decent paint program for Android Thanks for trying, though.

I have a laptop/tablet pc that I use for drawing (it has a Wacom pressure sensitive pen) that runs on XP, but won't run Windows 7. I guess it will have a limited life. It is a shame, because I can't find any new tablets that support pressure sensitive pens. Most new tablets run on Android, which looks like the model for Windows 8. Android is great for non-business devices, but that too is geared for tablets. I think what the problem is that there is no money in selling to the professional video and entertainment market. Look what Apple did with Final Cut Pro. They turned it into a home user product, and ignored the pro market completely. Maybe it is just a big hint, from the universe, for me to start a new career. ;) On Mon, Aug 20, 2012 at 6:56 AM, Stefan Andersson <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Maybe I spoke too soon :) I felt a bit lost, so I'm back into Linux now. Trying a bit newer distro (Ubuntu 12.04). I know it can't run Softimage, but I don't use Softimage at home that much anyhow. It was a nice try, but it felt there were too many gremlins under the hood that I had no idea of what they were up to. Too many reboots and too many processes that started working for no apparent reason, and popups, my god.... it felt like using firefox without a adblocker. But besides that it was a better experience that my last attempt which was with Vista. I'm back home now. Hell did not freeze over, it's still warm and cozy. regards stefan On Sat, Aug 18, 2012 at 10:05 AM, Andreas Bystrom <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: ". So...

But what boggles me is that... how can the developers themselves stand it? On a side note. I've been using Linux for a long time now, but got fed up with crappy wacom drivers and the crippled paint applications. So... I've installed Windows7 on my workstation at home. And so far I'm really impressed with the speed and the response from the system. Softimage works a lot smoother on Windows7 than on CentOS 6.3. Anyhow, going to take a shower now since I feel quite dirty. And I think Windows 8 will be as Vista, a "side-note". They are already talking about Windows9. regards stefan On Fri, Aug 17, 2012 at 8:01 PM, Sylvain Lebeau <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: this makes me think about Apple rumour to let go the dev on the mac pros...

Microsoft has just release Windows 8 RTM, so I was wondering if anyone had tested it out yet? I realize there are plenty of opinions on the whole Metro interface, but I'm just wondering if it's stable and if Softimage will run under it. I need to take a weekend and reformat this machine & start over anyway.
