I was unaware of this product until a recent
thread pointed it out. The Bamboo appears to be the low price point model from Wacom now, and even so appears more feature rich than my old Graphire 2. It's got a few navigation buttons on the pad, a wide aspect input area, and the USB cable appears to disconnect from the pad so you don't have to go behind the PC.
No idea on how this performs in actual use though, I'll have to look for some reviews.
