Wacom Intuos4 Wireless Pen Tablet Introduced

Wacom has unveiled a wireless version of it’s medium sized Intuos4 pen tablet. The new tablet still has the USB connection but allows for a tidy wireless approach via Bluetooth. That sounds pretty cool, and as a recent purchaser of the wired Intuos4, I’ll admit to being a little annoyed at this announcement. Still you’re not wireless forever, the reason that USB connection remains is for charging the Intuos4, which contains a replaceable lithium ion battery, good for what Wacom claims is 18 hours of use from the tablet.

The new wireless Intuos4 costs $50 more than the wired version, at $399 and is available for pre-order now at Amazon.com.

If you’re not hung up on the wireless aspect, I absolutely enjoy my Intuos4. I’ve got the medium sized one, which pairs nicely with my macbook pro. It looks real slick of course, but it also hooks up so well with Adobe Photoshop, that it’s hard to see how I could ever go back to using a mouse. The other cool aspect is the included drivers which allow you to set up the Intuos4 just to your liking–it really is a time saver in addition to being so much kinder to the ol’ wrists. I’ll get more into this in an upcoming review so stay tuned.
