Does it appear to be on the glass or underneath it?

Seems to be underneath it.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Underneath it. Huge disappointment.

How long do you have to get apple care after you purchase an iPad?
If you export your image and you made it in portrait mode there's no crease. App still needs some work though.
Seriously jealous of your art skills.
I literally gasped. I was not expecting that quality.

You guys are making me want to buy a cosmonaut stylus.
Thanks! Took me a long time. Actually I think I have a more recent version.
Maybe we should have a mobile device artwork thread? I'm addicted. Working on something in the paper app. Will share tonight. Unless I pass out. Boozin'
I've been using the jot pro for notes and sketching. Love it.

Your iPad has the same issue?
So far only the penultimate has wrist/palm sensing. And it's only good. Not great.
I've found I only need it for writing notes.

Until your 1 year warranty is up.
The short answer is that wrist protection has nothing to do with the stylus and everything to do with the app. It seems like note taking apps have really pioneered wrist protection - to the 'invisble' attempt by stuff like penultimate or bamboo's paper app.
2nd generation wrist protection allowed for a visible layer on top that the end user could raise/lower to suit their needs. Upad uses this and I find I like it for the most part. I like being able to see where I can lay my wrist and where I can write/draw.
3rd generation - the only one I've seen using it is noteshelf is rather ingenious. You tell it where you want to start then every time you write a line, it automatically lowers by half an inch or so. So that way it gets out of the way without the end user needing to babysit it.
I honestly haven't seen a lot of wrist protection in drawing apps. There probably are but I'm guessing it falls under the penultimate style which I still find myself leaving stray marks.
Long answer - there are now some styli in development / recently released that either talk directly to a dongle or talk via blue tooth. The downfall is that all of these have an SDK that apps have to support. So they aren't universal to be used in any app like how a normal stylus is. Although the upside is that your wrist should not set off any stray lines.
Normal stylus: recommend jot/jot pro, bamboo and faraday.
Bluetooth stylus: waiting to see how jot touch is along with the pogo blue tiger
Ipen was recently released and I've heard nothing but mixed feelings depending on the app being used as to whether it's any good or not.

That's if you want the accident coverage.

Difficult without undo and layers. I like the brush options though. I think they nailed those.

iPad noob QQ -- I bought a bunch of apps for my Touch back in the day including universal ones. I don't need to like redownload them or do anything word to get them working properly on my iPad right? I ask only because Ascension looks a little fuzzier than I expected (though Carcassonne looks fantastic).

It does have undo/rewind..
put two of your fingers together and rotate counter-clockwise.. and it will undo up to 20 of your last strokes.
Layers would definitely be a nice addition, though.
Holy shit. Good tip ! Thanks.

Peace of mind is worth it, and can make it easier to sell device in a year. Get it.

I've mentioned it a few times before: wear a glove, cut out some fingers as needed for convenience. Ghetto as hell but it works (as long as the glove blocks out the capacitance).
Awesome.
Really enjoying the device so far. I guess there's not really a guided tutorial or even quickstart guide really, just the user's manual? Noticed randomly that if you use four fingers and swipe you go to the next app. Would like to find out what else I'm missing but I suppose I can just plow through the manual if need be.

4 finger swipe upwards will reveal the multitask bar (same as double tapping home button). 4 finger pinch will kick you to the home screen (same as pushing home button). Pull down from just below the camera (starting offscreen) with 1 finger to show the notification menu. Also, if you are on the home screen, and you reveal the multitasking bar, hold on an icon in the bar until it jiggles, then click the red minus button to basically "force quit" applications (they won't be accessible from the 4 finger swipe) but only if you jiggle close them from the home screen - doing that in an app won't have the same effect.
First time proper long use test without charging it at the same time. On a three hour train journey and a bit past halfway through. Using iPad for RSS-reading (feeddler pro) and have watched around 25 minutes of video as well. Began at 96% battery charge on both my iphone and ipad and i am connected through iphone wifi-sharing (3g). Brightness at around 30%.
Battterylevel on the ipad is now 85% and the ipad has stayed cool while my iphone 4S is warm and at 58%. iphone has been used for sharing 3g and listening to the latest Brodeo podcast.
I might be imagining things but sometimes it feels like the backlightis uneven. Doesnt really affect me and might just be the angle.
Also VLC has serious chopping on 720p titles, any better viewers?
Nearing two hours use now and have used around 12%. White gps-symbol has been on as well.
Edit: Apple really really need to add arrow text navigation to the keyboard. Trying to move the marker in a moving vehicle is not a pleasant experience.
E2:also, Apple really needs to reduce the weight of the iPad. Needs to be at least, if not less, half its current weight to be comfortable to use for a longer period if it is in hands.
You can download a user guide / manual through iBooks.

I said wow.Sketch on the paper app

PS. Adobe Ideas now has layers for free, where before it had costed.. hopefully Paper goes a similar route.
Nice, thanks. One thing I might be missing -- is there any way to see network connectivity without exiting back to the home screen? I was hoping the pull-down would do it but it seems to be just notifications.
Wish Newsstand had more magazines but I guess The Economist and NYT will do for now.
What are some good Comixology comics? I see they have a ton of DC stuff but a lot of the time it's not in collections. Really looking for either a quality classic I missed back in the day or something splashy to show off the display.
You shoul look at zinio and amazon kindle subscriptions for more magazines & newspapers

Well, this was a revelation. I have owned an iPad since launch and had no idea about the four finger swipe. Not sure I'll ever use this feature, but that was fun!

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
I always use four finger gestures. Never touch the home button really. Good for adjusting brightness quickly too.

Didn't know there was a difference. They need to update their general FAQ. Makes it seem like the same policies apply to everything:
http://www.apple.com/support/products/faqs.html
I kinda wish there was a gesture for sleep and wake haha.
Such an awesome stylus. I've had mine since they started sending them out to Kickstarter backers.
Well they only added it relatively recently, I think iOS 5? (and the gestures were restricted to iPad 2 until a later point update).
Just wish apps were allowed to disable it, like you can accidentally trigger it while playing jubeat, or having your palm on screen in note apps.
