 Takes a Little Getting Used To - but it's AWESOME Aug 17, 2008
you have to work with it for a little while before it feels natural or your hand writing looks natural, but once you get the hang of it...It's incredible. I scrapbook and wanted to be able to include my handwriting on my pictures. works better than I expected.

Bamboo Fun. Me Happy. Jul 16, 2008
As a Web Designer for 15 years, I am always looking for new software and gadgets to bring me to the next level of creativity without limits. Items like "Bamboo Fun" make this possible. Even now, I am working on a web site for a singer's new CD, and it has a lot of flourishes, curves and curls in the design... well, this came right in time. I have bought a tablet before, but this was about two years ago. I don't even remember the name of it, but I used it once. I hated it. The interaction was inaccurate, and highly unstable and I was not impressed. With this we have a whole new experience, and my new favorite productive toy.
First, I would warn people not confident with freehand art and above average technical skills. There is a learning curve here that will cause impatience to those who don't read directions, or expect to plug it in an everything is beautiful. You are writing, painting, editing and more with many compatible artistic programs. It comes with optional software like Photoshop Elements and Corel Painter for you to start creating right away. So, you do not have to buy additional software to use it, but it should work with any that you already have.
You will need time to get used to using the pen and it also comes with a normal mouse... although, not so normal. This is basically a mousepad powered by your computer via USB, and there are no recharging or batteries for either the pen or mouse. These are basically stylus directors to use for a variety of projects. You can use the mouse as your normal work mouse if you wish. As long as you use the pad, you're all set.
The lines and connection are great. Very accurate, and I was able to create the flourish style graphics I needed in a couple hours. I would not have been able to do this without this tool. I was able to customize repeated features into the unit, and there are shortcut buttons, and navigation aids to make things all the more easier.
I have been able to touch-up photos and headshots. I see the drawing ability as a great tool for an animation inspiration. I can sign documents, and write in general, and it looks just like my handwriting etc. And the biggest plus is that it works on all my computers, be it XP, Vista, laptop or my new iMac, installation is a breeze, and I look forward to many projects ahead.
if you are an Artist, don't even think twice. This is the one to get. It's a perfect size too.

 Bamboo tablet Jun 07, 2008
This is a very good tablet and I use the mouse that came with it all the time. Better than the mouse I had. The pen is a little hard to get use to but I'm sure it will be good too. Just need a little practice.

Wacom Bamboo Medium for professional results Jun 04, 2008
Just a quick note for those of you considering to purchase a new Wacom Bamboo tablet...
I am a professional graphic artist and web developer. I use a Wacom Intuos2 at the office and was considering getting one for the home. After several weeks of research I decided to go with the less expensive and smaller Wacom Bamboo tablet for my home/personal use. My 2 reasons for deciding on the Bamboo were as follows: First off, I have a 4 year old son who wants to draw on everything, and paying $350+ for a tablet similar to my Intuos at work would just not be worth the risk, (those of you with kids can relate!); Secondly, I have a limited amount of space on my home desk and a large tablet similar to my 9x12 at work just would not fit where I need it. With that in mind, I opted for the Medium version of the Wacom Bamboo and after a month of heavy use, I have yet to discover a flaw. Although statistically it has half the pressure sensitivity of the Intuos models, after some minor adjusting of the settings, I can tell very little difference between the Bamboo and the Intuos at work. My main concern for this tablet was that the smaller size would require a large adjustment on my part since I am use to a larger tablet, however, the tablet is designed to match my widescreen display and I actually find the smaller size much easier and more manageable than the larger Intuos.
Bottom line is this, if you want a accurate and reliable tablet that doesn't take up a lot of space and still leaves you plenty of money to buy more gas for your car, the Wacom Bamboo Medium is a great choice. It will give you fast, reliable control with plenty of available options to move your creative side forward.

Handy Gadget May 22, 2008
Wow, this is so cool! Has been great for fine details when photo editing that are next to impossible with a mouse. The fact that it includes a wireless mouse for use on the touchpad is a plus too, no batteris necessary ever. However, was disappointed that it is not portable, ie usable on more than one computer,as the EULA does not allow you to load software on more than one computer. I would highly recommend it, & it is such a great price.
