- Wacom for the Win~This is an excellent tablet and stylus.
The price is more then worth it for the size of the pad.
It's wonderful!

- Fun, Useful, Great SoftwareThis is the first tablet I have ever owned, and it's great! I was surprised by how light and thin it is. The angled edges make it look thicker in the pictures, I think.
It only took me about 20 min to go through some tutorials and get the whole thing set up. The buttons on the top are quickly customized to do whatever you want. I have mine set to "back", "forward", "show desktop", and "open firefox". I didn't find the scroll pad all that useful in non-graphic applications. The up and down scrolling is pretty clunky, so I prefer to use the pen. In graphics applications, however, it's very useful for quickly zooming in and out.
The pen works wonderfully for quick navigation. It works best when held at an angle just under 90 degrees. This is unnatural for me. I usually sketch with my pencil at something closer to 45 degrees. I found that if I don't hold it upright, the pen will draw or click when I don't want it to. This took some adjusting, but not enough to be a problem.
Another good thing about this pen is the eraser. I expect it to be a lot like erasing with a mouse, an all or nothing deal. But no, erasing with the pen is exactly like erasing with a pencil. The line gets fainter, depending on how hard you press, until it disappears.
All in all, this tablet is just plain fun! Out of the four available colors (black, white, silver, and blue) the blue is my favorite. It really stands apart from all the other black and gray computer peripherals out there.

- Aptly named, it's FUNI'm not an artist, let's get that out of the way. But this thing is really fun. I use it to doodle little things to help me explain things for my blog articles. I use it in the way I would use a whiteboard in person. My kids get a kick out of drawing with it too. It has a very realistic feel to it, though it does take a little getting used to. I've replaced my apple mouse with the one included with this kit and the pad has essentially taken the place of my mouse pad. I would definitely recommend this to anybody thinking about buying a graphics tablet.
The only regret I have now is not springing for the wireless versions. That would have been better since I could hold the tablet in my lap and draw there. But that's not an issue with this particular product, just something to consider...

- Just in case I didn't do this before...This tool was a reward for my daughter who did well with her grades as the school year came to a close in June, and she loves it!

- Cool DeviceThe Bamboo Fun lived up to my expectations and to its price tag. Its operation is smooth and pressure sensitivity seems good. Haven't had any problems with it so far and the learning curve didn't seem too steep as this was my first time using a graphics tablet I think I managed okay. I haven't tried out the software much as I had the photoshop already installed on my system so didn't see a need to install some of it. All in all its seems like a great product.
