gosh, im with you – it feels like they are rolling out new stuff all the time. all the non-intuos products like this recent ink digitizing toy (inkling?) and how they seem to constantly throw new bamboo things on the market seems to bolster that impression a bit, though.

and here i sit, looking at my intuos3 a4, and remembering my intuos1 a5. the intuos1 had everything thats necessary. the intuos 3 already had features you had to disable so they dont get in the way. and now theres multitouch and even more buttons and an ipod-esque ring. and weird feeling surfaces that eat up pen nibs.

i wonder whether there is a market for a high quality, completely no frills tablet. like, their peerless pen, slick surface, high resolution. no buttons. no sliders. no bullshit. rugged cable and a pen holder that actually holds the pen. id kinda like that, once my intuos3 goes the way of the dodo (doesnt look like that will be any time soon, though)
