The Wacom Favo Bluetooth

Wacom (or at least, Wacom Japan) is busting out a new Bluetooth version of their Favo writing tablet. The Wacom Favo Bluetooth is more or less the same as their regular Wacom Favo, apart from not having a cord running out of it, and has a range of about 10 meters. Sells for ¥19,824 ($186) in Japan, no word yet on a possible US release.

In the political, industrial and business world, Father [Sun Myung Moon] is famous. With Wacom, Father is recognized by the technological world. - http://www.tparents.org/moon%2Dtalks/sunmyungmoon91/um910512.htm

It's really hard to get over the religious connections of that company.

Wouldn't it be nice to have more than one tablet being able to work on the same machine and application at the same time.


Set up a projector and have 5 artist all drawing on the same Photoshop canvas. Let's say... The Birth of Venus.

I've got the US version (Wacom Graphire Bluetooth) sitting on my desk (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ocell/15720319/) right now. It works flawlessly with my Powerbook. I love this thing to death.

The battery is quoted to last 25 hours on a charge. I haven't given it a full battery test yet.
