Waycom anounces "Cintiq companion" and "Cintiq companion hybrid" tablets

Wacom has taken the wraps off its two new Cintiq tablets, the Cintiq Companion running Windows 8 and the Cintiq Companion Hybrid running Android. Both allow users to take their graphic work on the road, although the Hybrid Android version is more limited than the Windows 8 variety. Both will begin rolling out later this year, with the Hybrid coming first.

First up is the Cintiq Companion model, which features third-generation Intel Core processors and Intel HD Graphics 4000, as well as 8GB of RAM. The amount of on-board storage depends on which model you get, with two being offered: 16GB and 32GB. This model can run full versions of software used by professionals, and can be a complete experience in and of itself.

The Cintiq Companion Hybrid, meanwhile, runs Android when used standalone, and can also funciton as a traditional Cintiq slate when connected to a PC or Mac. This tablet offers less functionality when used as a portable device, with Wacom calling it a “digital sketchpad.” Inside, users will find a Tegra 4 processor and Jelly Bean.

Both tablets feature Bluetooth connectivity, WiFi, front and rear 2-megapixel and 8-megapixel cameras, a standard audio jack, and an integrated microphone.

The Cintiq Companion Hybrid Android model is priced at $1,499 USD for the 16GB model and $1,599 USD for the 32GB model. The Cintiq Companion Windows 8, meanwhile, is priced at $1,999 USD for the 256GB SSD model, and $2,499 USD for the 512GB SSD model. The Companion Hybrid model will roll out in the middle of September, while the Windows 8 model won’t arrive until sometime in October.

Said Wacom’s Professional Products Brand Director Don Varga: “The new Cintiq Companion line enables mobile creatives to carry out their jobs without compromising on the high performance required for delivering professional-grade design and artistic output. This is a truly ground-breaking product line that redefines the way creative professionals work, empowering artists and designers to immerse themselves in their work without being confined to a traditional studio or office.”

Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One.
