&#62; That's Wacom's low end market threatened<p>Not really, a low end wacom tablet sells for &#60; $100, and will interface with everything between 'paint shop pro', and the gimp all the way up to photoshop, illustrator and autocad.<p>&#62;  (and see how it goes for more hardcore design)<p>If that works out then you will still have to implement roughly 80% of photoshop before there would be any significant threat from this to the tablet market.<p>Seriously, I hope your friend gets a kick out of it and I hope that he will be inspired to do great stuff but I really can't see a serious threat here. I can see the 'rough sketch' work, but no way this thing will be used to produce final artwork in the near future.<p>There are some vertical market applications that are interesting though.
