With its 1024 pressure levels, the Bamboo Stylus fineline reacts to the pressure being applied by the user, resulting in lighter or stronger strokes accordingly with a palm-exclusion feature in the Wacom software. Bamboo Stylus fineline is supported by some leading note taking apps on the market, including Wacom’s own Bamboo Paper app, Noteshelf, Notes Plus, INKredible, GoodReader and MyScript.
