    What type and size are you looking for and for what purpose?

    If you can afford it I'd recommend getting a Wacom tablet:

    http://www.wacom-europe.com/uk/index.asp

    www.pixmania.ie
    www.komplett.ie
    www.dabs.ie
    www.peats.com

    all sell them. You can buy direct from Wacom too as well as ebay.

    The Bamboo are there budget range but are more for general use rather than precise graphics work or Photo editing.

    If you want it for graphics design or video work etc. the Intuos3 would be the way to go.

    I'm looking to buy an Intuos3 A5 Wide at the moment so I'll post back if I find a good price

    Hey Thanks for the advice, I'll check out the info you've given for sure :)
    I'm into photography and have been doing a bit of work on a calendar for a local sports team with the photos I took last year; I bought a few decent magazines recently (Creative Photoshop and ImagineFX) and they proved quite useful indeed. Anyway, since reading them I've just realised the potential of these items and Photoshop has really unleashed a load of potential with my photos. But to get back to your question, I'd be more interested in a basic one at this stage...something that would be a good reliable entry level tablet for doing stuff like modifying photos and basic stuff on photoshop and a bit of artwork too...
