Mac OS X: Inklet is a neat piece of software that turns your Mac's multitouch trackpad into a drawing tablet that works surprisingly well. Inklet 2 is a handy application that turns your Apple trackpad into a pen tablet. This video shows how you can use Inklet to draw in Photoshop, along with so. I tried inklet with a drawing app on the web, but did not have a good experience. It is fully optimized for the Mac as well. To be honest, when you say 'fully optimized for the trackpad,' I think you'll find that there isn't much for that. The trackpad is great for a lot of things, but it.
Tenone Design, makers of the Pogo Sketch and PogoStylus products for the Mac and iPhone, have released Inklet, an application for Mac OS X meant to turn a Mac portable's trackpad into a graphics tablet. The application not only allows users to draw directly on a trackpad, it also utilizes Mac OS X's built-in handwriting recognition engine. Additionally, the application can tell the difference between a palm and a Pogo Sketch tip, so resting a hand on the trackpad while drawing isn't a problem.
Inklet is intended for use with the company's Pogo Sketch stylus, but it also reportedly works with a finger as an input device. If you want pressure sensitivity, however, the Pogo Sketch stylus is needed. The application does require certain multitouch-enabled trackpads, such as the one built into the unibody MacBook/MacBook Pro and the newest white plastic MacBooks. The best way to figure out if your model is compatible is to download the free version of the application and give it a try.

Inklet 2 For Mac Reviews
There is no question that Inklet and a Pogo Sketch could replace a traditional graphics tablet for some users, such as those sold by Wacom, though serious graphic artists are still going to want full-featured solutions. The surface area of a MacBook's trackpad just isn't large enough for much graphic use and, if you look carefully, you will find that the tip of the Pogo Sketch isn't very fine, making us wonder just how precise a user can get with it. That being said, if you are just looking to play with handwriting recognition, create a quick sketch, or sign the occasional document, you aren't going to find anything cheaper.
Inklet For Mac
The full version of Inklet will set you back $24.95, but you can get a Pogo Sketch bundled with it for $34.95. If you end up picking one up, let us know about your experience. It may not be the Apple tablet, but it also won't cost you an arm and a leg.
