Notice in the teaser, the "artist" is wearing glasses .... that is from squinting at a 5.5" screen. When creating "art" I want a big screen. Bigger than 10" would be nice. Yeah, ok, that's not a "portable" device, but does everything have to be "portable" ? I'm starting to feel manipulated, by marketing hype, instead of defining my needs. How portable is an easel and canvas? Does that lack of portability stop an artist from painting a landscape or portrait?
I notice many people must have the latest and greatest gadget. Ask yourself.... "What do I need?" .... "What features of a tablet would make the creativity process easier and more productive?" Just my two cents from an experienced (read old) artist.
