[edit] No need of commercials
I don't think it's necessary to cite "Twinbridge Software" and "Wacom Cintiq" in the body of the text. I suggest:
- "and companies such as Twinbridge Software, among others," may become "and several comanies",
- "who uses a Wacom Cintiq" may be replace by "who uses a screen which is also a tablet",
- and actually, "including Hawk of AppleGeeks" shall probably be replaced with the beginning of a list, because it's not so fine to have only one example.
who gives? how is that commercial? its totally fine and goes into detail.
[edit] Cleanup
I have reorganized the article and removed some questionable material (see the diff). Thoughts on this first iteration? -Yipdw 10:50, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Inkscape and pressure/tilt sensitivity
Inkscape now makes use of pressure and tilt information in the CVS build. Is this sufficient, or should we wait for a release before including it in the article? -Yipdw 11:05, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Price range
We could use a price range for those gadgets.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 16:26, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tablet technology
The technical information in this article appears confused and misleading. All the graphics tablets I've seen, even the cheap ones, are solid surfaces with an embedded sensor which tracks the pen via a field effect. I have never seen a graphics tablet which uses a 'squishy' physical sensing surface. As far as I know, this technology is only used on touch screens (PDAs, etc) where, as is explained at the end of the article, any stylus-like object can be used rather than a dedicated electronics-containing stylus. Additionally, I have never heard of any technology which uses both a physical sensing surface and a field-based position sensor, especially one which doesn't require any specific electronics in the stylus to work.

- Looking back in the history, it appears that in the rework of 24 Aug 2005, the explanations of several different types of tablet were condensed into a single paragraph, which is worded as if all the different technologies are used at once. Cammy 01:19, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
