Finally someone bothered to make a tablet with a decent pen input. I find it perfect to take down notes in classroom, draw stuff on, work on photoshop and stuff. And it uses wacom pen technology so you know its gonna work well.

So far I've been working with a Bamboo tablet with my laptop to work on photoshop and one thing I really don't like about the Bamboo is its useless if you want to draw anything on the computer. It feels very unnatural to start at a laptop screen while you draw on the Bamboo below. Something like this tablet should feel more natural while drawing and writing. And I know wacom has the cinq but that is super expensive and you need a separate computer to work with it.

Anyway, I'ld like to know what you guys think about this tablet and anyone know any ideas of when you can get one here in Ireland?

Also the price for this on amazon.co.uk is very expensive. It costs around $1100 on amazon.com but on the UK site it costs £1000 which is like around $600 more than what the Americans are paying for this thing! Anyone know why is it so much more expensive on the UK site??
