Cheap, yes, but not as a Wacom substitute? I just bought a 6x8 MousePen tablet from them, for my sister. So far, the thing works very well. Simple driver install (a lot of options, more than I've seen on my Wacom), big board, bunch of little buttons to program, and the thing has double the sensitivity as my Wacom, all for half the price.
Actually, he only thing I can see that Wacom has over the pad is brand name, and the magnetic tip they use (the genius pen and mouse need a triple A battery). Genius seems to be doing a good job competing with Wacom in terms of features and stuff, but they need more marketing or something as I'd never heard of them till I moved here to South America (where EVERY input device is made by them :P).
