Wacom Intuos4 tablet caught out of the box, in the wild

Still no official word on its existence, but one forum poster happened to stumble upon an out-of-the-box display for the Wacom Intuos4 pen tablet while browsing through a brick-and-mortar Future Shop. Lucky for us, he thought to snap a few pics, albeit 'shopped to appear in the traditional blurrycam art style. No word on pricing or availability, but let's hope Wacom isn't planning to tease us too much longer.

Update: An anonymous tipster managed to snap a photo of a Future Shop inventory screen that shows four Intuos4 models and pricing: 4 x 6 inch small for $299, 6 x 9 inch medium for $479, 8 x 13 inch large for $999, and 12 x 19 extra large for $649 (all prices Canadian). No clue why the extra large one is over $300 cheaper. They're all apparently in stock at the distribution center, but there's no word on when they'll actually ship to stores.

[Thanks, Joseph]

a second request for an updated cintiq to replace the 21UX, i've held off on buying frankly due to the obscene markup on the now ageing parts of the cintiq line, if you have to pay 2k for one then at least make one using newer tech

With the availability of DisplayLink (video over USB) and the advantages of OLED, I'm guessing that the next Cintiq will arrive when these components can be used without raising the price...

Im guessing this will be the small model (missing some fancy things found in the medium one)

There is a nice and very clear view of the intuos 4 found here: http://thatposhgirl.com/

Apparently Amazon gave this one to that person for a review.

I have got this on Friday!!! I love it I have been using an Intuos 3 for about 4 years and found that to be a great bit of kit. I would not have purchased this if I had not been so tight with my money recently. I run a web design company and have been saving my pennies as its been not busy of late. But I thought why not treat myself its boring being tight all the time. I got this and dont regret it money well spent. The sensitivity is amazing double that of the intuos 3. The main thing I like on this is the scroll wheel its great for zooming in and moving images around and has sped up my work flow. I got the Wacom Intuos 4 A4 tablet bit exspensive compared to the Intuos 3 but it does a lot more. http://www.tabletworld.co.uk/section.php/21/1/wacom_intuos4_graphics_tablets
