Your iPad, an electronic notebook

With all the pomp possible, Wacom recently announced the availability of an application for iPad specially made to be used with the stylus that the company sells.


Bamboo Paper, the image above, is a beauty of software. Through a simplified design, Wacom accomplishes the goal of providing a true electronic notebook for those who need to take notes throughout the day. Also, various notebooks, since you can organize pages by subject - a full plate for students.

"Having a digital notebook with Bamboo Paper for the iPad provides the actual experience of pen and paper, which allows users to achieve higher levels of creativity and collaboration," says Peter Kurstjens, director of Applications and Platforms for Wacom.

It is the responsibility of the user to set the color of "ink," the thick of it, and choose to "paper" (virtual) is completely blank, ruled or checkered. Small details that make the tablet approximates a traditional notebook. Annotations ready, the Bamboo Paper lets you send the image generated from that "page" by email.

Although the experience of using Bamboo Paper has been planned with the stylus in mind, you can also use the app with just your fingers. Maybe not the same thing, but it's worth.

Bamboo Paper has set price of $ 1.99 in the App Store. The good news is that you can download it for free until June 30, then run!
