I downloaded it and scribbled with it briefly. It's definitely a Carbon app, but it feels zippy under OS X, supports Photoshop plug-ins, and will likely be fun for artists to noodle about with. Even with just a mouse you can do some neat sketching (perhaps I'll post my "rooster head" at some later time).
