Re: Tablets and Handheld Devices (Formerly the Cintiq Thread)

F*ck! I'm both jealous and frustrated at the same time tonight.
So, the SP3 officially launched today and I have been subjecting
myself to reading comments and forum postings from EVERYONE
going on and on about how awesome their new toy is (this is
where my jealousy is kicking in). But I am reading in the hopes
that I can get some usable reviews, however small they may be,
regarding Art Programs and gaming. But no one has posted
anything of the sort (this is where my frustration is kicking
in). I just want to hear that everything I need it to do, works
flawlessly, so that I can pick up one for myself.

I've never heard of that until just now. I don't have an iPad,
but this does look very cool and the price point is damn cheap.
The article mentions that it's integrated with iPad apps. So,
where can I try this out at? It's an Adobe product, but I can't
see them selling a competitor's product in an Apple Store.

I don't know... as it stands it's not enough yet, it's not
professional level, I think it's more of a first step, they'll
let the users and time figure out how to make it better.

For obvious reasons, I've been hitting YouTube looking for
reviews of the SP3 and specific programs that I use. None have
been made yet. But the one annoying thing that I hate is
Unboxing videos, which is all that anyone is putting up right
now. Seriously, why the f*ck does EVERYONE think to do this?
Ooooohhhh. Lookie me pull this out of the box!
Oooooooooooooooohhhhhh, lookie me show you the front side of the
tablet! Ooooooohhhhh, lookie me show off the kickstand!
Seriously, f*ck off with your unboxing videos! They are
completely worthless, useless and unnecessary!
UGH!

You tell 'em Chip. I agree.
It's just another one of those things... Look at me. "This s hit
is important. I'm sure it is. It has to be. Every little thing I
do should not only documented, but others need to see this too."

So, I have been tracking the Bugs/Defect thread over at Windows
Phone Central regarding the SP3. Naturally, it's expected there
are bound to be a few hiccups along the way given that the
product is getting real-world use and not some controlled
environment at the lab. The one BIG thing that seems to be
cropping up with most users is the overheating issues. Some say
that just web browsing will cause the tablet to overheat, which
is pretty pathetic. Heat ranges from lukewarm to insanely hot
that you can't hold it in your hands anymore. A lot of people
are complaining that even simple task (like browsing) is enough
to overheat to the point that the SP3 will shut down and turn
off.
Another issue that seems to be prevalent is battery life. Most
are claiming that when the tablet is in Sleep Mode that the
battery drain is as excessive as 50%-75%. Not cool. This is why
I NEVER buy any new electronic device on the roll-out date. Why
anyone else continues to fork over their hard-earned cash for a
product that hasn't worked out any of the bugs is mind boggling.
The heat issue is a big concern of mine given how much I plan on
working with the tablet. I wonder how they can fix this problem.
Would a Firmware fix this? I'm guessing that for something like
this is going to require a Factory Refresh. It sucks that I'm
having to worry about this kind of sh*t instead of whether or
not the programs I use will work. Ack!!

I've been waiting patiently for MobileTechReview to come out
with their video. They've always done a good job in picking
every important thing apart and this one is no exception. They
even show off 3 Programs that I use (ArtRage, Photoshop and
Corel Painter). Unfortunately, Painter is kind of hit or miss
until they can come out with better WinTab drivers. But what
I've seen in this video, including Manga Studio does leave me
feeling more confident about picking up a SP3 for myself. Just
have to wait and see what is done about the overheating issues.
Jump to the 18:17 minute mark for the program demonstrations if
you're interested.

Really cool that Lisa did a video showing all the go-to drawing
tablets for 2014. Would have been better had she showed off some
of the different art programs to see how the drivers work.
Beggars can't be choosers. A must-watch video for those looking
to get their own digital sketchbook.
