Editing The Pen Addict 181/transcript (section)

== iPad Pro ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' But this is the whole thing about the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil and, like, the pixel density and this new refresh rate and touch layer and all this craziness that built into it. It looks like it occupies the same amount of space as an actual pencil and actual paper.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's really interesting.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's the, yeah, that's the really exciting thing about it, I think.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I didn't expect that at all, because I'm not spun up on all that stuff like you. I'm actually not interested in the iPad Pro. And, you know, the pencil would be the one thing that would be kind of interesting to me.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I didn't realize that it would have that fine of an output on the screen, like you're writing on a sheet of paper, like your handwriting style is not, like, you know, three times as large. I did listen to the new ATP podcast last night with our friends John Casey and Marco, and Marco was fawning over the pencil, which is not his thing at all. But just listening to him talk about it, I was like, wow, they might have done something pretty good here.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think they have. And I'm really looking forward to putting it through its paces properly, because one of my big things is everybody that's testing it is testing it from an art perspective. Right. I want to test it from a writing perspective. And I don't think there are going to be any, I don't think there's going to be anyone else that does that. Maybe I could do a little thing for the site if you would let me.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, that would be, that would be wonderful.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, we could talk about that. I could do one of the Brad Dowdy patented written down reviews.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, that'd be cool, actually. I would like that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Whenever I get one in hand, we'll talk about that. That might be fun.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, and then we can get Jake Weidman to do the, do the artwork. He's done all the artwork for the, the boxes. Like you see the box artwork, all the pencil work. He's the master penman that he, he has put the pencil to the real test. And it was, it was cool to see his artwork up on the, up on the, the packaging for the, the big iPad, the iPad pro.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Who was that?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Jake Weidman, master penman. So did you look at the boxes? You went to the Apple store, right?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And they have the boxes that the iPad pros are in. I don't know if you got to see the boxes and on the exterior, like one of the shots is like, I don't know if it's the zebra or it's got this really intricate drawn pattern on it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh yeah. That was in the, um, that's on all the promo stuff.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that's a guy named Jake Weidman. He's a master penman.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Okay.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. We've talked about him on the show. You should listen to it sometime.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I don't remember the name of everybody. That's not fair.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's not fair. I know. Uh, but Hey, so enough of your digital pencil nonsense.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh yeah. The reason I brought all this up is that we should talk about the pen addict edition of the Apple pencil. So Ginny, again, all over this episode.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We just need, we just need to have her on. Ginny, you want to come on the show? We'd love to have you. Yes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Standard invitation. Ginny, if you're interested, let us know. We'll, we'll hook it up. Um, she went to the Apple store, the Apple, Apple store, right? The one in Cupertino.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Cupertino store. Yep.
