Review: Wacom Bamboo Brings The Tablet To PC With Apps, Multi-Touch & Pen Control

Wacom's latest graphics tablet is a user- (and even kid-friendly), fun and functional device with enough value-add software to make you turn your PC into a tablet.

Mac and Windows support integrates into existing touch controls; comes with a good range of software including Adobe Photoshop Elements; has its own apps

No wireless version; impractical to use as a complete replacement to mouse; touch-space is small compared to size of whole unit
