Wacom Bamboo Pen

The Wacom Bamboo Pen is a computer-input gadget that connects by USB and allows users to sketch designs with a battery-free and ergonomic pen. The pen in fact hosts 512 levels of pressure sensitivity on its tip, allowing for natural brush strokes that translate correctly onto the screen. Included also is Corel Painter Essentials 4.0 (Win/Mac), which allows for creating natural media art and turning photos into digital paintings. Note that Bamboo Pen has been engineered to work with all current and next-generation operating systems, including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Mac OS 10.4+.
