Chris they have done it before. Lots of times. You will get no pressure
sensitivity which to me is the whole point to a tablet.
reading is a skill - unless you don't read and just comment or shout down
others.
from the linked review I posted the words were writ :
"and best of all, support for a pressure-sensitive stylus (which you’ll have
to buy separately)"
from elsewhere -
http://www.parkablogs.com/picture/review-astropad-ipad-drawing-app
"You'll be asked to setup your stylus first. Astropad current supports
pressure-sensitive styluses from Wacom, Adonit and Hex3 Jaja. It's good to
see that the cute Pencil from FiftyThree will be supported in the future
also. "
This was to be a sharing experience, an exercise in collegial support - a
possible tablet workaround for those possessing both an apple mac computer
and and ipad who didn't want the additional expense of an additional wacom.
I have no vested interest in it, I don't like macs, I think they're
overpriced junk.
but by all means, shout that it's crap as much as you feel the need Randy.

Whats the point it it lacks pressure input? This stuff has been around
for years. One of the reasons got a Note 2 was that it is literally wacom
technology and can act as a pressure sensitive input. Ipad sells are
down because of bigger phones. You might as well get a tablet and have
real
pen tablet functionality.

"I do use a Wacom tablet for Photoshop editing, and the Astropad+iPad
combo
is better in pretty much every way. Best of all, the founders have
hinted
that they might bring the underlying mirroring technology, dubbed
'Liquid',
into something that would let you use an iPad as a second monitor,
rather
than plain mirroring.
The only problem as it currently stands is the price: $US50 (or $US20
for
students), which happily makes it the most expensive app I've ever
considered buying. However, there is a seven-day free trial"
