The Bamboo Pen & Touch from Wacom is a USB digital tablet that combines advanced Multi-Touch input with that of a traditional digital pen. It fully supports Multi-Touch gestures, including gestures and finger taps, over a large portion of its active area. As the tablet is larger than trackpads found on most laptops, it is both comfortable and natural to use. You can use your fingers to move about your desktop, scroll through documents, navigate the web, zoom in and out of photos, and rotate images.
For more precise applications, such as image editing, the included pressure-sensitive pen is available for use. You can use it to edit photos, create personal greetings, make sketches, and mark up documents in your own handwriting. The pen supports 1024 pressure levels for precise control, and is accurate to ±0.02 inches.
Users who have not used a tablet before will appreciate the included tutorial, which teaches you how to use simple hand gestures to move around your desktop, make selections, and complete other computing tasks. The tablet features four ExpressKeys, which can be customized to suit your needs. It is reversible, allowing right-handed and left-handed users to use the tablet with equal comfort.
The Bamboo is compatible with PC and Mac systems with USB. An extensive software bundle is included: Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 for Windows, Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 for Mac, and Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0 WE3 for Mac and Windows.
