    Best to get yourself a small cheap one.
    You could probably pick up a basic one for about €40.

    I had one for awhile but it broke, I've been trying to get a replacement with no joy.

    I've defo reccomend them to everyone. (:

    Just save your cash and get a cheapish one before splashing out on a wacom one.

    what would be the difference between some random crappy one and an expensive one of the same size?

    quality, accuracy, range of resolutions, features (such as pressure sensitivity), software supplied, ... and then some...
    quality - means build quality i assume?
    accuracy/range of resolutions - so each tablet has a fixed resolution yeah? is accuracy seperate from that or could a tablet with a high resolution introduce flaws in the input?
    features - i thought they were all pressure sensitive... what other features would there be?
    software supplied - meh :)

    lastly... could you (or anyone) reccomend a good one to go for?

    Just to note,

    I've heard there very hard to get used to, unless u get one with a screen (very expencive) as u cant properly see what ur drawing...
