Love this idea. One less thing for me to have to carry in my bag.

That's the kicker for me too.

I'm often on the go, and don't do enough Photoshop work to justify lugging around a dedicated wacom. And even if I did it wouldn't have screen, let alone a gorgeous one like on the iPad!

Astropad is working great for me so far. Now time to invest in a pressure sensitive pen.

Thanks, that's great to hear :)

We've been working on this for 1.5 years and we had to write completely custom tech to make it happen.

We're happy to answer any questions about our tech

What's the unique sauce that makes this work?

How do you keep arbitrary Mac apps in sync with the iPad display?

That's the tech we built we call LIQUID: http://astropad.com/#tech

Sure, but that doesn't really tell us anything.

We'll have to follow up with a tech blog post where we go into more details.

So it's basically a faster Air Display? I agree, the site is too vague. I don't know what it is, so I don't see why I need it.
