The Flyer is designed for pen input in a way unlike other pen tablets before it. What I&rsquo;ve found is the experience breaks out into quantity vs. quality. It&rsquo;s easy to spill a lot of ink, but it ain&rsquo;t always pretty."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/lpt/auto/1307513825.usr17748.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>"Spilling Ink" is the author's term for writing in digital ink, or writing and drawing with a digital pen on a screen. An early gotcha is reported, in that the stylus can only write or draw, and not be used to click or drag, or manipulate the tablet's UI. A pen is a pen in this case, and not a finger substitute.</p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/lpt/auto/1307514318.usr17748.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>The bottom line is that this is a good start, but there is plenty of room for improvements.</p>
