Bamboo Tablet Reviewed

I totally recommend this awesome product!!! I purchased it about a month ago, and now I use it all the time for any artwork that I create. This thing works awesome with Adobe Illustrator!! It comes with a battery free mouse and battery free, pressure sensitive stylus (pen) that is really comfortable and feels natural and intuitive when you use it.

Bamboo Funmakes your computer your canvas, allowing you to freely express yourself by simply touching the pen tip to the tablet. Touch up digital photos, draw by hand, create artwork and paintings, and even write in your own handwriting.

Not only is it awesome with Adobe Illustrator, but it comes with other software. Check it out!!

• Adobe® Photoshop® Elements (5.0 WIN / 4.0 MAC) for editing, retouching, enhancing, organizing, and sharing digital photos
• Corel® Painter™ Essentials 3.0 for creating natural media art and turning photos into paintings
• Nik® Color Efex™ Pro 2.0 GE for selectively applying lighting and photo enhancements with the pen

Bamboo Fun is also available in a variety of colors and sizes. For small workspaces or someone on the move, the small Bamboo Fun size is perfect. If you’re starting to explore graphics applications or completing hobby projects on your home computer, you’ll appreciate the extra workspace of a medium tablet.
