Wacom - Bamboo Pen and Touch Tablet

I recently purchased this little gem from BestBuy. I continue to be amazed by the Wacom tablets for a number of reasons.

Bestbuy - Wacom - Bamboo Pen and Touch Tablet - Black - CTH460

This is my third Wacom tablet. I actually bought my first one after looking for some way to combat what I think was carpal tunnel syndrome. My arm would have searing pain by the time Fridays would roll around. After much reading, I bought a Graphire. It worked wonders and my pains were history.

After having that one a while and abusing it perhaps too much, it gave up the ghost and I bought another one after my arm started hurting a couple weeks later.

Now that the Pen and Touch is a few weeks old, it’s turned out to be worth the $99.00 it sells for at BestBuy. The touch function is pretty sweet for navigation and making work go a little bit faster. The programmable buttons are conveniently positioned for thumb access and the Adobe Photoshop Elements that comes with it is an excellent program. After many attempts, I’ve finally found the software that manages photos the way I like.

The only bad thing I have to say is this bizarre behavior. When I turn on the media center on the Xbox 360, the touch commands stop going to my mouse and go to the Xbox. That is one I can’t figure out or explain. Either way, it’s a nice pad.
