Okay so Im not really directing this thread in the "which brand is better", but you guys do this kind of stuff so Im asking for your help!!! The general topic is about the Bamboo Pen and Pad: http://www.wacom.com/bamboo/bamboo_pen.php?gclid=CI2XhJipi6QCFV195QodlxaWLA
There are a couple different companies that make these, and a couple different options within those. But I want to know if you guys who actually work with photoshop, illustrator....those kinds of programs would actually USE something like this. My girlfriend is an Advertising Design major, and she works with these programs. I have thought about getting her one of these Pen and Pad type deals, as a surprise, but want to make sure its something useful and not just a novelty item. I really dont know s**t about these photoshop programs, and it seems like this Pen and Pad could really go either way.....so I really dont want to get her something thats just like "Oh yea, cool, I can rotate my pictures with this......" No I want to get her something USEFUL.
