Product Description

Product Description

Bamboo Pen and Touch combines the benefits of Multi-Touch with the comfort and precision of Wacom’s ergonomically-designed pen, giving you a powerful new way to work with your computer. Multi-Touch allows you to use simple gestures and finger taps in an area larger than on standard mobile devices or laptop trackpads. Easily move around your desktop, scroll through documents, navigate the web, zoom in and out of photos, and rotate images. For precision work, pick up the pressure-sensitive pen to edit photos, create personal greetings, make sketches, and mark up documents in your own handwriting. The tablet’s generous active area makes it more natural to use. It’s easy - even if you’re new to the touch experience. You can even customize your Bamboo Pen and Touch experience by assigning your own shortcuts to the four ExpressKeys. Bamboo Pen and Touch works with your existing computer: desktop or laptop, PC or Mac. And it’s an incredible value with the included software: Adobe Photoshop Elements and Nik Color Efex Pro. Sleek and black, the tablet makes for a stylish addition to your workspace. Attach Bamboo Pen and Touch to a standard USB port, set it comfortably by your keyboard, and let your intuition guide you.

Amazon.com

Combining intuitive design and versatility, the Bamboo Pen and Touch is a powerful creative workstation that lets PC and Mac users create digital art with an organic, hands-on feel. Using an innovative tablet and Wacom's "Multi-Touch" system, users can manipulate images and navigate the Web using simple gestures and finger taps. When combined with Wacom's pen-input technology, Pen and Touch allows you to write, doodle, and embellish with ease.



Included pen features 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity for precise drawings.


Large, textured work surface and customizable keys give you artistic control.
View larger.

Multi-Touch lets you scroll, zoom, and rotate your screen with simple hand gestures.
Sleek, Stylish, and Easy to Use
Measuring 9.8 by 6.9 inches, the Pen and Touch is compact enough to store comfortably in a laptop case. It features a large and responsive active area, providing enough workspace for even your most ambitious projects. For added convenience, four ExpressKeys provide quick access to user-defined shortcuts.

The tablet comes with a battery-free pen with an easy-to-grip design, so you can have maximum control over your drawing. The work surface is textured, providing a pen-on-paper feel. It's also reversible, so you can use it comfortably whether you're right- or left-handed.

The Pen and Touch is simple to set up. Simply plug the tablet into your computer via a USB port, install the provided drivers, and you're ready to go. You'll be doodling, writing, and painting in minutes.

Enhance Creativity with Multi-Touch Technology
With the Pen and Touch, Wacom has implemented a new technology called Multi-Touch. Typically, tablets require you to use the stylus for navigation, but Multi-Touch provides a comfortable hands-on alternative. It allows you to quickly navigate through your computer with a single finger. You can also scroll, zoom, and rotate your screen with simple hand gestures. It's intuitively-designed and easy to use -- even if you're new to the touch experience.

For precision work, you can use the included pen. When you use the pen, the screen will automatically recalibrate for more precise use. In your hands, the pen quickly becomes an all-purpose art tool. It features 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity, allowing you to perform tasks ranging from fine hand-writing to wide-brush painting. You can add hand-drawn embellishments to your favorite photos, add life to your digital sketches, or provide a personal touch to your scrapbooking pages.

First-Class Visual Editing Software
The tablet also comes with a full suite of visual editing software, including Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 Win/6.0 Mac and Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0 WE3--valued separately at several hundred dollars.

Pen and Touch is compatible with Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP (Service Pack 2) and Mac OS X (10.4.8 or higher.) It requires a powered USB drive, a colored screen, and a CD/DVD drive.

What's in the Box
Bamboo Pen and Touch tablet, Bamboo pen, Quick Start guide, installation CD (includes driver software, interactive tutorial and user's manual), software DVD.

Updated driver helped,but not enough...Get the Magic Touchpad.

Updated driver helped,but not enough...Get the Magic Touchpad.
Update: After 9 months using it, although I liked it better than a mouse for my Mac iBook, I continued being frustrated by many of the problems mentioned by other users since I posted this in November 09. Just a week ago I bought the new Apple Magic Touchpad and I wholeheartedly recommend it for those who have a Mac and want a multi-gesture touch controller. It works SO much better than the Bamboo. I don't want to take the time to describe all the differences here because this review is now so buried that it wouldn't be worth the time since so few people would read it. Just get the Magic Touchpad if you have a Mac. You'll be glad you did.I've edited my old review below, leaving in mainly the info about marking the sensitive area. If you mainly want a tablet, you may want to get the Bamboo for that reason:The Driver was updated on November 12 and the touchpad now works better. They have fixed or at least improved some of the bugs that people have been complaining about in these reviews. You can find a link to the driver update download (and links for other countries) in the User's Manual, which you can get to (on a Mac) by clicking on the Help button in the System Preferences Pen Tablet page. It is near the end of the manual on page 64.(It is still way too prone to inadvertent clicks and drags.)As for other non-driver complaints my main one is that the tactile edge of the tablet is well beyond the actual area that is sensitive to touch. This makes it very easy to try to make gestures that are not responded to because you are too close to the edge. I have found a simple solution for this. I split some 3/4" vinyl red electrical tape down the middle to make it into 3/8" wide strips and laid the tape down around the sensitive area of the touch pad. This gives me a visible AND tactile border so I always know my fingers are in an area where they will get response. (I left gaps in the tape edge by the buttons to make them easier to find.) (I have added a photo to Customer Images to illustrate this tape layout.)Oddly, this touch sensitivity border is located where it is faintly marked on the top and bottom of the pad, but on the right and left it is about 3/8" inside the marked border. This means the 3/8" wide tape should be laid above the top line and below the bottom line, but inside the two side lines. (The pen, though, works all the way to the faint lines on the sides. If you use the pen a lot you may be bothered by the tape, although it will still work with the tape there, but you will run into it. If this is a problem you may want to just use tape on the bottom and optionally the top. I found that the tape on the bottom is the one that helps the most.)I like a multi-gesture touchpad better than a mouse, but if you have a Mac, and don't need the tablet for art, get the Magic Touchpad. (I haven't used the pen tablet so read other reviews for that function.)
