Thanks for this, very useful.
From what I know all iPads and Android tablets have pressure sensitive apps and touch screens and you can buy a stylus that supports it as well.
I've an Asus Transformer Prime TF201. Runs Android. Nice enough for certain kinds of drawing, but no pressure-sensitive screen.
Perhaps now they all have this, but it wasn't standard a few years ago.
Markers looks like an interesting hack; I will give that a try.
I've yet to find an Android drawing program that gets everything right though.
What makes the Surface 3 so appealing is that I've already some Windows apps I'm happy with for Wacom-driven drawing. Running those on a tablet would be ideal.
