| Adobes answer is twofold. There’s Ink, a stylish Bluetooth stylus; and Slide, a slim "ruler" that shoots out digital lines across an iPad when you set it down on the screen. To make them, Adobe partnered with design firm Ammunition, the team behind some of Beats most stylish headphones. Both are made of sleek aluminum and white plastic they look and feel like perfect matches to the iPad. |
| The twisting Ink stylus is comfortable to hold, and for the most part feels really sturdy. But that appearance is a bit deceptive: its plastic cap chipped in two places after a tumble from my kitchen table, its insides rattle around a bit, and after a month of use, Ink actually stopped working on me, seemingly at random. (I can’t say whether that’ll be an issue on the final units being shipped out mine came from the last stage before mass production but it certainly isn’t a good sign.) | | If youve used FiftyThrees Paper app, you know exactly what to expect from Ink. Shoddy lines are turned into gorgeous, flowing strokes. Colors blend exactly how you imagine. And somehow, everything just looks right. Adobe takes care of making your lines look good you just have to make them all into something interesting. Ink performs well against something like Paper’s Pencil stylus too: Pencil is far sturdier, but not quite as responsive. |
