According to an exchange with Wacom customer service, shared by reader Brian Eun, the pen will be officially unveiled and show up on Wacom’s site May 31. Several other pen enthusiasts on Twitter and have reported finding them in stores throughout the country.
Last week, I was able to order one online and received it two days after walking in to my local Best Buy and purchasing another one in person. It showed up at Best Buy online a few weeks ago without a ship date and as I write this post, that retailer still shows the pen as a pre-order item with no store availability. Instead, he tweeted the news a few minutes after he got off the stage.įor the next nine months, we heard nothing until Wacom issued a release at CES that the pen was almost ready. But presenter Bryan Roper ran out of time during his Windows Ink demo and forgot to mention the new collaboration with Wacom. The dual protocol pen was originally supposed to be announced on stage by Microsoft at its Build conference in March, 2016. This on-again, off-again release is only fitting for a product that’s received very erratic promotion from the very start.
We’ve received unconfirmed reports that the pen won’t be available again until after its official release date June 1. ORIGINAL POST: Although it hasn’t yet appeared on any Wacom site, the new Bamboo Ink Smart Stylus was briefly available for purchase this week at Best Buy stores throughout the U.S.
