Pen is perfect. Touch - not so much.

First, I want to say that this is the first graphic tablet I've ever used, so I can't compare it to other manufacturers/models. I'm just going to list the pros and cons.

Also, I installed the latest driver (W7) from the Wacom site instead of the ones off the CD.

Pro:
Very nice build quality - It's pretty lightweight but feels sturdy. It doesn't bend with pressure.
The pen is just the right thickness to hold it comfortably and the loop holds it firmly.
Pen input is very smooth and accurate. I find that the "pen" mode is more-so than "mouse" mode.
The preferences app is simple, clean and easy to use.
The "active area" is very large. I thought it might be a problem (and I disliked not being able to use the whole tablet) but in the end it's perfect.

Con:
Touch input is inaccurate and jumpy and the sensitivity settings are useless to change this fact. (Docked a star because touch input was the only reason I went with this model instead of the cheaper one.)
Sometimes when scrolling with the pen it selects/highlights everything in it's path.
The pen nibs are already wearing down due to the texture (albeit slowly).

Overall it's an extremely nice piece of hardware. I am happy with my purchase and would recommend Wacom to my friends.

The writing is smooth with the pen and easy to write with but the pen is thicker then most pens. I am left handed and there was slight ink transfer to my hand and smudging on the paper.  I will stick with the uni-ball 207 ink pens, which do not have this issue

The stylus part works better then your finger and is easy for the kids to use with the ipad. The taps on the screen are responsive

If you looking for a dual purpose stylus / pen I would recommend going to a brick and mortar store to determine what fits your hand

Livescribe 3 is an amazing pen. The writing experience is fluid, gratifying, futuristic, and you just don't lose your work. It is easy to start an audio recording (though the inevitable Bluetooth connection lag can slow this down), and it copies handwriting to the app amazingly. Head over to the "feed section" and swipe some handwriting to the left, and it'll instantly translate that handwriting to easily-copiable text with autodetection of addresses, calendar times, and links. It's amazing. When it works. The pen often fails to connect with the iOS app (which you just have to kill). The Find My Pen function is silly because unless you leave your pen on (oh wait, it auto-sleeps) with its tip extended, your pen won't beep as you look for it. But even forgetting the pen and its shortcomings, the stylus on the back end is amazing. So smooth. So fast. So durable. Just delightful. And battery lasts for days and days. It's wonderful. So get back to writing.

Pros
Great writing experience
MyScript does a great job of converting your handwriting to text with a swipe in the "Feed" section of the companion app
Silky-smooth stylus for handwriting on iPad
Syncing often works really well
Not flimsy
Nice notebook
Great battery life on the pen

Cons
Bluetooth connection of pen gives out sometimes after long disuse
Audio recording start requires a tap unlock of iPhone

Other thoughts
A couple more software updates should do it (they come every few months with fixes)!

This is a better product than other reviews make it out to be, and it's really fun. Great gift idea.

I write all day long; notes, making reservations and so on.  I am very particular about the pens that I use.  The pen writes extremely smooth, it's fast and almost takes no effort to write with at all.  Its a bigger pen and fits my hand perfect I can write all day and my hand does not hurt one bit.  I figured based on the photo and the size of it that it would have a little weight to it, which would have been a plus in my opinion.  Overall its a good pen, feels a little cheap maybe since it doesn't have much weight to it.  It would also be nice if it wrote just a tiny bit thicker.  That's my 2 cents, I would purchase this again. It does the job with little effort.

It feels nice in your hand, and the inside ball-point pen is a nice added bonus (but who uses a pen when you have a touch pad, lol, jk, jk)

It feels nice when gliding on the surface of my iPad, (better then my previous one which had some drag on it).
I guess the only con I can say is that it glides a bit too well that sometimes, rarely, but sometimes it doesn't get detected by the pad, and so nothing will happen.
Other then that, it's a pretty good pen and nice for the price.

Pen was good. But the stylus was not. I had to press pretty hard on the screen for it to work even without a screen protector. Pen is good though.

Love the aspect of the stylus. The body of the pen is comfortable and the click pen is very convenient.  My only problem is the rubber tip....it splits and breaks.  The manufacture should add replacement tips with the pens.

I just got the product.  It feels like a pen in your hand.  The tips do not grab the screen when in use.  Very little pressure is required to get the stylus to work.  I am using the stylus with Notability for Iphone 6+ and it works perfectly.

Nice pen, and writes extremely smoothly. However, this is much lighter than expected and feels a little cheap. For this price, I was hoping for something more substantial.

The stylus works excellent.  My manager liked it so much he bought 2!  The other features are great (screwdrivers, level, ruler).  The pen works ok, but not up to my specific needs.  I will look for a refill that will write more smoothly and on all paper, included printed inkjet/laserjet images on paper.

Construction and design, excellent.
Ink and writing feeling, poor.

I was hoping the stylus would have been more pinpoint accurate because at the time I was playing Draw Something for Android and wanted to be able to draw in high detail. So the pen is not that accurate, infact it's like using your finger but that's what some people might be getting it for. Otherwise, it worked great, arrived on time. And recieved 3 just as promised. The original package got lost in the mail (til this day I wonder what happens to these lost packages) and I contacted the seller, they sent a new one out no problem. Good seller.

The stylus pen is okay. The writing pen is not the best. I have to scribble on paper to get it to write and its not real smooth when writing, the stylus works really good.

This pen, overall, is fantastic. The fine nib is a Japanese fine nib, so it lays down a very thin line; it offers just enough feedback to be pleasant without being scratchy, too. Be aware: the pen itself is quite short. I have large hands, and I find it uncomfortable to write with if I don't post the cap, but with the cap posted, the pen is great. Overall, this pen is a nice one.

I really enjoy the feel of this pen. I was especially surprised to find that it uses the same ink cartridges (Pilot G2).

There are definitely some areas for improvement with the physical design though. For one, the blot-action is very rough. I ended up deconstructing the pen and putting a finer finish on the interior piece. That and a bit of graphite did the trick. I also ended up rounding the edges of the clip a bit more to prevent the edges from snagging and ripping anything.

In the two months since buying this, I've permanently lost one of the rubber rings on the grip. While I like the texture they provide, they're sure to vanish soon. I think I would have prefered a coarse finished on the steel. It wouldn't be quite as nice to the touch, but would definitely be in keeping with the permanent feel of the pen.

Enjoy having the pen so that I do not have to "waste" my fingers.  However,  sometimes the pen does not "feel" the screen for transcription of the characters, as the fingers do.  Fingers are more sensitive than the pen, at least the one I've been using!

I love this pen/stylus combination, and the various tactful color combinations. Sadly, the pens themselves are not very well constructed. They feel sturdy in your hand, but Ive found several of them broken in the bottom of my backpack; and the ink colors do not always match the "switch" on the pen -- Ive found red ink where there was supposed to be black in one case. They are fatter pens, easier to handle for people with hand issues who require thicker pens. And the stylus end comes in handy in smart phones and other mobile touch-screen devices.
