Just last weekend I picked up the Wacom Bamboo Fun.
http://www.wacom.com/bambootablet/bamboofun.cfm
It is a work/drawing pad that you can use either the included pen or mouse to control just about everything on your computer. I am using the heck out of it in PhotoShop right now. It makes it a lot easier and more fun at the same time I did this picture by creating a new layers over the original image then tracing and coloring them in.

Cool. I have fun with my Wacom tablet, just not a lot of time for it right now. I have the 6x8 Intuos 3. Corel Paint is very fun with it.

yep the Wacom tablets are superior. If you get the no name or cheaper brands, you get what you pay for. The cheaper tablets I've seen tend to break down about a year later where the pad doesn't see the pen anymore.
