Yes very similar to a Wacom tablet.

Are there any other competitors out there for this?

I am beginning to get into freelance graphic arts and would like to know how accurate they are with freeform drawings, basically wireframing and cartooning. I'm curious about the pressure and if they're worth the money.

If they don't work well with Photoshop, I don't know what I'll do. I don't mind Flash, but one day, I would like to remove it altogether from my machine. Call me old-fashioned, but I'm in favor of as little third-party internet applications needed as possible. If I had my way it'd be browser(w/scripting) and that's it. An anti-virus in the background and a media player integrated with the browser.

I don't like having to rely on third party vendors to be able to view something online.

Okay, enough with the ranting, thank you all for your help, you've givin me a great place to start. Has anyone had the chance to test the differences in the versions. For instance the Bamboo vs. Graphire vs. Intuos.

Thanks,
