I was looking for a drawing tablet for a while, as everyone who designs, whether it is for web or for print, needs one sooner or later. Choosing the right device mainly depends on how much and for what tasks the designer intends to use it.

For about six years ago I bought a Wacom tablet and it was perfect for making smaller illustrations. Later I got a scanner and switch to the process of first drawing by hand, then scanning the sketch, and finally creating the digital illustration. For the few cases that required a drawing tablet, the small Wacom tablet was enough.

Last week, I was at the AppShow in San Francisco and I’m still mesmerized by the experience. Not because of the many great apps made in the Bay Area, as I think we are not behind by any means, but because of superiority of the show. The friendliness of people and the charming environment of the show was wonderful. And it’s true not just for the show, but also for the whole atmosphere: everything is presented in a way if NASA was launching a spaceship – no wonder why investors stand behind so many ideas standing on weak legs.

Last week we have started the rollout of the new (v2) version of Mobilessence for Android. This was a milestone because for Android we were using a pre-4 design setting and we were talking a lot about how to implement the new guidelines while keeping the same high quality user experience.
