The French electronics company Archos is hoping to bolster its presence in the United States with a new line of Android tablets that include an integrated keyboard.Īrriving in November, the first offering is the $400 101XS, a 10.1-inch tablet that weighs 21 ounces and is 0.31 inches thick. ![]() The Archos 101XS tablet features a magnetic keyboard that doubles as a cover.The Archos 101XS tablet features a magnetic keyboard that doubles as a cover. The following is from Pogue's techie page of today's New York Times:Ī Tablet That Moves Closer to Becoming a Laptop I don't know if this is realistic and it's probably rather selfish, but I'm more of an illustrator than animator, so I was wondering if there's any possibility of just a paint package offshoot that has a price that's easier to chew on?Īnyways, thanks for sharing this program with Android! I'm not looking forward to November 1st, because I love drawing on my Note 10.1" and this application is as good as Painter from what I've tried. Of course, maybe you guys are charging different for the Android version? It would be an easier buy, if I could use it on my workstation and my tablet. The price point for this application is realistic for what it does, it's just hard to muster spending more on an App than I did on my tablet, when I have a perfectly good Wacom Cintiq hooked up to my MacBook Pro. ![]() Will there be preferences to disable rotation gestures and single touch? On single touch, I like the idea of it being completely off, or even the option of assigning it as an alternative tool that doesn't need the same level of precision like smudge.ĭo you guys offer a cross platform license? ![]() I have some questions, which hopefully this is a good thread to post in: I just don't want it to turn into another touch eccentric PlaySkool looking app that sacrifices screen real-estate for fat fingers. There are some areas I'm sure you guys are considering that would make it easier for a small touch screen, but the slide out menus on the right and left have really helped. The fact it has a real desktop interface - which works fine with a the stylus and its hover state - is something I hope doesn't change much for the final - if at all. Its brush engine is awesome and so are all the tools I've tried so far - I'm a Painter guy back since it was Fractal. TVPaint is incredible! I have yet to hit any road blocks on how I think with this application. I've had the tablet for a week and after finally finding LayerPaint - which for $3 is a steal - I thought that was the best I was going to get for now - and it's actually really good at what it does. There's alot to learn, so I'll play with this guy for awhile along with a few other apps and come back with my input. I also haven't figured out how to put the drawing area to full screen (it's one big obvious button on SKM and PST). I had a hard time pressing them even when the small pointer below my pen showed I was hitting the right button. I hope you consider making the buttons bigger in the future. I think there's alot of power in this app, considering it looks like it was taken almost straight out of your PC version (with the toolbars on top). I am also not a pro, and my only experience with digital painting is with Photoshop on a Win7 using an Intuos for input. That said, this is my first time using TV Paint on any platform. There is also this weird glitch I've run into on PST and SKM where if I try to draw/shade somewhere close to where I already shaded (like a fraction of a millimeter apart), the pen won't register (as if I'm trying to draw in a deselected area): TV Paint did not have this issue. There is definitely pressure sensitivity on the PS touch, but the pressure sensitivity on TV Paint seems to be more refined. I actually believe that the pen has 1,024 levels of pressure now. First off, I will say the pen input is fantastic on this app. Other than TV Paint, I have only had a chance to try Sketchbook Mobile and Photoshop Touch, so I don't have much to compare with yet. I had a chance to play with this app briefly before I went to sleep, and I like it. ![]() I just bought the Note 10.1 last night and downloaded this app before I went to sleep.
