RE: The Pen Hardware. A few details (beats guessing eh?), we're working in partnership with Byzero of Korea with respect to the pen and receiver, and we are getting excellent results optimising hardware and software.
RE: Real world lag 'issues'as apposed to 1/2 speed video issues: We've publicly tested Collusion with about 100 people with a VERY early POC release - the same software as used in the video (which is now 3+ months old) very few commented on lag as being an issue - and that was with no serious attempt at lag optimisation on our software. As you can see some of these kind folk have come to our defence on this forum (thanks fellas). We are extremely anal about squeezing every last drop of performance out of our software and iOS for release to make using a pen on the iPad as good as it can be. We're confident that we're getting it right, and look forward to our next open invitation test catchup to show people first hand how Collusion is evolving, and yes we'll shove a video camera in there, and post links here:)
To those who have a problem with our name, we have dedicated a special FAQ just for you. See http://collusionapp.com/faq/#a1
Guys (that is an Australianism that includes all the female posters here too) - we recon we have the pen thing in hand - was that a pun (assume for a second it is)... there is a LOT of brainpower here (hacker news), please turn your attention to other things we are working on... please - its seriously cool stuff - if you think Collusion is just a note taking squiggly drawing app - look a little deeper.
I'll say this the pen is simply and enabling technology, a gateway to far far more interesting stuff. We know people fixate on the pen, and thats fine, but we think people once they have it, will stick will Collusion for what it does.
Final note, pen input on tablet is as important as a keyboard or mouse to a PC: Really important till the point where it 'just works' then hardly noticed thereafter. We've hardly noticed the pen for a while now;) You dont use your computer for the keyboard, and we've not built Collusion for the pen.
There are some big ideas in Collusion - we've updated our Kistarter page text to hint at them a bit more strongly. Please have a read.
