Rating: - Worked for awhile
Bought in April, by August it was flaky. Now, one button does not work at all. Called tech support and the technician was superior and rude.
Might try to send in but can't be without a mouse for 10 - 15 business days (over 2 weeks!)
Wacom used to be a better product. Now, it is cheaper but not as rock solid. My first one lasted for years. Now, they burn out in 12-18 months. too bad.
I think I will explore other brands before purchasing another Wacom.
Rating: - I LOVE my Bamboo Tablet
I had always wanted a Bamboo Tablet and when I got one, I was not disappointed. I am a Photoshop Digital Scrapbooking maniac and my Bamboo is so amazing. It gives me ultimate control over what I'm working on. Actually, I love it for moving my cursor around quickly with any software. It's so different from a mouse, I had to get adjusted to it.

Rating: - Awesome Gadget, great with Ubuntu Too
I purchased this product and very happy with the features. With the normal mouse my hand used start getting crams after a use for a while and bamboo pen tablet really helped me.

The pen perfectly fits in the hand. The normal active area of 4x6 inches covers the complete 1600x1050 screen. Best part which I was not knowing before ... Read More
Rating: - Wacom drivers are the worst
I have been having problems with wacom based scrolling on a windows xp machine.
I uninstalled the driver restarted several times..still the drivers are not removed (as my wacom still works sans scrolling).
The hardware is no doubt magnificent (small, light, simple) just as i wanted.
Rating: - Not as expected
The design of the pen and pad is very nice.
but not practical, since there are few problems.
1- the button on the pen side, results in unexpected button clicks.
2- the area of the pad is not scaled properly to the wide screens.
3- the area of the pad is not enough for continuous line drawings.
On the positive sides, it is easy to caliprate with the computer, and easy to use after some practice.
On normal screens (not wide ones), the scale is better ... Read More
