No, nor have I heard of it. Is this a USA or foreign release?

It's an international release. It's a 13" Wacom Cintiq graphics tablet that can be detached and used as a stand-alone Android tablet. As far as an Android tablet for artists that has a pressure sensitive stylus, it's probably the best one out there, but at $1500 (US), I don't know if it's THAT good. Granted it's primary function is a high-end graphics tablet for another computer but they already have a 13" Cintiq HD that is identical in form and function for that purpose that is $500 cheaper. I'm not sure if the Android functionality makes it worth the extra money. I was hoping someone on here might have gotten their hands on one and tried it. The problem is, no one in a Brick-&-mortar store is carrying one to go and try it out.

That's a lot of money for what it is but I'm sure it benefits someone.
