This is one of the things that sort-of saddens me about the whole
`tablet revolution': despite the deluge of tablets, it seems like
it's actually become *harder* to find one that's any good for drawing.
Five years ago, it seemed like every tablet-computing device
on the market was `Wacom Penabled'; they were all spendy,
but they were there. Now the manufacturers appear to have
mostly given up on selling to that market. And Wacom's New Hotness?
The `Bamboo Stylus': a `high-end' frenchfry pen for the iPad,
whose high-end features are the `look and weight of a real pen'.
No pressure- or tilt-sensitivity, no paint-tool memory--no electronics.
Looks like Asus actually does have a neat digital sketchpad, though:

And it happens to run Linux--out of the box :)
