Bamboo Pad
-
Like everyone else so far, I find the Bamboo useless for SU, absolutely essential for Photoshop.
-
I concur, I use my tablet for Photoshop, illustrator and painter not SU.
I use a Space Explorer with SU however, very important piece of equipment.
-
I have an Intuous 4 and find it very useful for image editing but not for SketchUp. The mouse is much better. I have a Space Navigator (the baby brother of Solo's Space Explorer) but find the mouse scroll wheel/CMB/Shift key easier to use. I envy Pete's ability to use his Explorer though.

Thanks all!
I am still considering it mostly because i am starting post-rendering work with GIMP and such.
its cheap enough where I can try it out to see if I like it!
Thanks again!

The Bamboo Fun looks like good option - you get the benefits of using a stylus and touch-screen functionality that should be great for general navigation on your computer.
I'm hoping that this kind of dual functionality gets rolled out to the other models soon.

I bought it specifically for SU after watching Ironman
Was a waste of money even after 30days of forceful use. You
are more productive with a mouse and key or what Solo suggested above. -
It could have been worse:

Hey! That's the 'hand scanner' I have.
It works pretty well for image editing although I'm lusting after the Cintiq 21UX now. I'd have ordered it on Friday but they are on backorder. With that I could scan my whole butt!
-
I've got my eye on the 21UX as well, but can't make my mind up whether to buy a CS5 package instead and wait and see if the Cintiq range gets upgraded with touch screen functionality.

I have a bamboo which is a great budget pad, its pretty useless with SU tho. However its essential for photoshop, I cant use PS anymore without it
-
Maybe that's why they are backordered. I run into that often where something is listed as back ordered when it turns out, it's about to be superceded by a new model.
-
I thought that might be the case when the Bamboo Fun came out, but it's been quite a while now.
Maybe they have something special up their sleeves - like a wireless touch-screen Cintiq. Who needs an iPad
-
Wireless would be cool.
