they are exactly the same. I have an Bamboo already (their out here in Germany for a few months) and it's exactly the same as my Graphire 4. They even use the same drivers. However the Bamboo stylus has no sensitivity on the eraser (the eraser is pretty useless anyhow...it's quicker to just change the tool in your PhotoEditing app to the eraser than turning around the pen). The advantage of the Bamboo imho is the better looks, it's thinner and has two more function buttons.

How do these compare with similarly sized Graphires?
