Going Tablet Crazy With Wacom Bamboo

Sometimes we all need a little tablet, and fortunately Wacomis here to help with its oversized standalone trackpads. Just plug the 3.5-inch by 5-inch tablet into your computer via USB, and you’re free to kick back without hunching over a mouse all day. The Wacom Bamboo comes in five flavors: There’s the $69 Bamboo Touch, which operates by finger and supports two-finger gestures such as zooming and scrolling, and the $69 Bamboo Pen, which uses a stylus. For $99, the Bamboo Pen and Touch does exactly what the name suggests. There are also larger pads, the Bamboo Craft an Bamboo Fun, which come bundled with software. All models support Macs and PCs, and they’re available now. [Wacom via Gizmodo]
