(w/o mouse go for $80)

finally replaced my old tablet with the new bamboo fun.
for $99 including the wireless mouse is pretty good deal.
after briefly using it... the pen to tablet feel is just like pencil on paper and also pressure sensitive.

if you use photoshop i'd say it's definitely worth picking up any wacom tablet, don't mess with other brands. it might take a little bit of getting used to but in the end you'll have a lot more control over the tools in photoshop. i keep switching between programs that i didn't want to keep switching from pen to mouse that i've gotten used to using the pen for everything, since you can program the buttons on the pen it makes it easier. i use a 6x8 tablet, haven't tried the smaller ones.

Just picked one of these up today. I like it so far, just getting use to not touching the tablet with the pen when just wanting to move around and not select anything. I like it though.
