That fine young lad you see in the image is giddy with touch-sensitive joy this morning. Soon, he will be able to dish out nearly $4k for the massive Wacom table-top, touch-enabled tablet. After seeing the first iteration of the a Wacom Cintiq multi-touch tablet over two years ago, Wacom has announced that the all-new Cintiq 24HD Touch will be available early August. Ready to get your pixel-pushing touch on?
Wacom Cintiq 24HD Touch
The Cintiq 24HD released less than a year ago with a $2600 price point. The Touch keeps the same footprint, screensize, resolution, pen and interactivity options but completely updates the color performance of the tablet with a whopping 1.07 billion possibilities and nearly full Adobe RGB support.
In addition, the new display in the Cintiq 24HD touch offers stellar color performance thanks to advanced LED backlighting. Delivering a 97% Adobe RGB color gamut and over one billion colors, the Cintiq 24HD touch is ideal for any color-critical workflow.
Touch capability for Mac and Windows includes 2-finger touch gestures to pan, scroll, zoom and rotate the canvas in applications that support those features and multi-finger custom Wacom gestures. The Cintiq 24HD Touch will be available early August for a price of $3699.00.
Of course this is focusing all fingers on graphics users, but with touch support in many 3D applications picking up, the possibilities make the engineering and design office look more like the drafting rooms of decades past turned digital.

*UPDATE*
Sculpting may be some of the first we’ll see on the Wacom 24HD Touch. Autodesk Mudbox with the new multi-touch Wacom.
Also, you know Microsoft has their own tablet, but they have also acquired acquired Perceptive Pixel. Large format tablet wars are heating up. Will be hard to beat Wacom though.
