Seems like maybe it could begin with the Fold 7, but actually stretch onwards to their other products (namely the Tabs). I swear I came across an article somewhere else suggesting it could somehow be based off AES, but it wasn't going to need a battery. It's like they were going to pull off what XP-Pen and Huion did AFAIK -- more or less an EMR experience without licensing Wacom.
Part of me would be really interested in them moving away from Wacom UD onto something new, but the other part is apprehensive. I've had moments where I became frustrated trying to find a UD pen that works for me, and during those times I'll start thinking UD mediocre, but right now I'm having a fantastic experience on a T10 Ultra with a Mars Lumograph.
If Wacom can't get licensing money anymore from Samsung (assuming it's a fair chunk of change), maybe they'll make an effort to go back into Pro-EMR TPCs. To be frank, I kind of thought it was a joke that the Movink was just a pen display. Let's say they are a company that is barely scraping by, which could very well be true: If nothing else, maybe it's a good time to release a vanilla Android TPC if it's too expensive to be a Windows OEM. Maybe they could almost strike gold by releasing a successor to the Cintiq Companion Hybrid, which seemed to be way before its time. Who knows.
I regularly bounce between the M4 Ipad Pro with Apple Pencil Pro, Surface Pro 11 with Slim Pen 2, and the Galaxy Tab S8+ with the Zbook X2 Pen (with grey nib), and a 16-inch XP Pen EMR device. Of the 4, I would still rate the Tab S8 as the best pen experience by far.
If Samsung were to switch, it would have to be AES. I honestly wouldn't mind that, so long as they can fix the crease once and for all. On my Fold 5, I hardly ever use the pen because of that damn crease. The physical dip in the screen it creates annoys me to no end. And I'm already using the Bluetooth-less Spen, so I'm already missing those features. If they could eliminate the crease/dip entirely I would adapt to AES.
Have to disagree with the Movink, that's probably the most interesting product Wacom has released since the Cintiq Companions. And for those purely looking for Desktop solutions, its a great price for an OLED screen. If it was a tad larger at 16-inchs I might have bought one, but opted for a XP-Pen display that works fine for my needs.
Man, I wish Apple Pencil was as good as even the lesser Samsung SPen. I'd love if Apple ditched the powered stylus and did their own EMR thing, or maybe even partnered with Huion to get something better. I keep going back and forth on wanting a Galaxy Tab when I eventually replace my iPad Pro, but I have Mac and the synergy is actually decent, as bad as iPadOS is. And I'm just used to Procreate now for my quick sketches. I could probably go back to Sketchbook and be ok, combined with CSP for my workflow. But I digress. EMR is definitely the better technology. Yes, Apple has AES beaten, but not EMR.
I thought Samsung owned a significant stake (40%?) of Wacom --- wouldn't any licensing fees come out of their share of the profits?
I lost all interest in the Remarkable Pro when it launched w/ a pen tech other than Wacom EMR, and I appreciate the simplicity and synergy of pretty much all of my devices using Wacom EMR.
If I have to replace my Galaxy Note 10+, I expect the replacement to have Wacom EMR --- if that's not an option, I'd probably just get an e-ink phone.
A successor to the Cintiq Companion would be awesome, but I'd want it to have the same kind of dual-stylus support as the Movink 13. Agree that other than the pen technology and the general quality of the display and thinness of the device was a stumble, and that what it wanted was higher resolution and that it being a stand-alone device would have been quite nice.
