Ten One Design’s Inklet, a new Mac OS X Snow Leopard app, turns your Macbook’s multi-touch trackpad into a drawing tablet. Read on to find out why you can leave your Wacom Bamboo at home…
Inklet brings up a drawing canvas in applications like Photoshop, Brushes and Illustrator and converts your movements on the trackpad to pen and brush strokes. Inklet isn’t active all the time – you can activate or deactivate it using a keyboard shortcut or an icon in the menubar.
If you don’t fancy just poking at your trackpad with your finger, Inklet is also available with the Pogo Sketch, a capacitive drawing stylus which will give you a bit more precision. It’s not hugely expensive either – Inklet alone will set you back $25, the package with the Pogo Sketch is $34.95.
Inklet will work with any recent Macbook or Macbook Pro with a multi-touch trackpad running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. If you want to try before you buy, there’s a demo version available to download.
