It seems that this fully-fledged tablet has 512 levels of pressure sensitivity! And it runs on the OSX as well on Windows 7. I think I'll be picking this up. What are you thoughts, people?

I remember a friend got a modbook, but she hated it and sent it back. I think one of her issues was that she didn't like that it a Mac, and she ultimately bought a Cintiq 21.

Modbooks was notorious for not filling orders by promised dates.

Those things are INSANELY expensive and aren't usually worth the price. Last gen's modbooks cost the same price as a cintiq 24 hd.

I wonder if Apple will send a cease and desist letter? They tend not to like other people selling their computers.

They modify Macbooks, hence the name. If Apple didn't like it they would have shut them down in 2007

(He also claims that there were never any legal issues with Apple. Some had speculated that Apple was responsible for the disappearance of the company. On the contrary, Haas claims: "As soon as the ModBook came out, Apple came to us and asked us to become a proprietary solution provider. "That didn't end up working out, but we were moved to a developer contract. We are now an Apple 'developer' and we have a great working relationship."

In fact, prior to Axiotron, Haas was a part of Apple's Newton Systems Group, notes Haas, according to a Engadget report. He said: “When I joined that group I actually wanted to see the pen on the Mac, because I remember there was a development unit that was shown to Andy Warhol to draw on a Mac, and he just loved it. I always felt, that is what I wanted to do”.)
