wacom If I was not an information freak as I am, and if I never new about a blog called Gizmodo, I’d be $1000 bucks richer now :)

For a long time now I’ve been wanting to get a product from Wacom. At first I was always thinking about one of those "blind" tablets, where you use the pen on the tablet surface, but you look at another display. These are usually around $200-$300 bucks.

The other day I was browsing through Gizmodo.com and Jesus Diaz did an Amazing review of Wacom’s Cintiq 12WX LCD Pen Tablet. This is not one of those blind ones, but rather it’s quite similar to the tablet PC’s since in fact it has a display on which you move the pen and draw in Photoshop, paint in Corel, or write documents in MS One Note.

I am not going to write more about the tablet, since you can obviously go and read his review on Giz, but I will just say this: Combined with Windows Vista’s Tablet PC functionality, this Tablet will make your life 10 times more fun and more natural. It’s VERY easy to use and it’s great for EVERYONE: Pros and novices alike. While I use it for day to day surfing (instead of the mouse), writing and web development, my girlfriend is using it for Photo Retouching. It’s simply amazing!
