I can think of all sorts of times when wireless would be preferred.]]>Feb 1st 2010 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/Feb 1st 2010 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/Feb 1st 2010 7:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/

Do not give those wounded freaks a reason to slobber on a non i*** posting.

They are already too emotionally unbalanced to purposely provoke.]]>Feb 1st 2010 7:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/

It's even more funny to watch Apple fanatics go bat-shit insane trying to silence any negative comment about a consumer product.]]>Feb 1st 2010 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/Feb 1st 2010 7:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/Feb 1st 2010 7:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/
Agreed, the bezel is nice to rest you hands on when working. This isnt a pretty toy, its a working tool.]]>Feb 1st 2010 7:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/Feb 1st 2010 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/
I also don't get this article. Has the writer even owned a digitizer tablet? I doubt it since it is quite practical to just grab one, use it for a while, and then put it away without worrying about a cable getting over your keyboard or spilling out a cup of coffee...]]>Feb 1st 2010 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/

I had the hardest time finding a decent mouse a few months ago because 90% of the non-generic-shaped mice out there are wireless, and there is no chance I am going to waste batteries, nor money on a wireless mouse when a wired mouse is perfectly fine (and actually preferred). ]]>Feb 1st 2010 7:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/Feb 1st 2010 7:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/Feb 1st 2010 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/
No, there really aren't that many wired mice left. I hit up all the usual suspects when it comes to computer peripherals - all the remaining big-box electronics stores, as well as the office supply stores and the sad fact is that the selection was maybe only 20% wired.

Mice are one of those few computer devices that you pretty much have to "try-out" before you buy to see if it's comfortable in your hand, so buying one online is just not practical. ]]>Feb 1st 2010 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/
However, if you're going to have to keep changing batteries every month or two, that could be a dealbreaker.]]>Feb 1st 2010 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/Feb 1st 2010 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/

For $50 extra wireless is an excellent addition if you want to use the tablet on more than one PC, and be able to switch between them with ease.

There's your "freaky workplace scenario right there", an office that only needs the expensive tablet every now then then, but on multiple PCs.

The interesting thing about this release is that they've now got the wireless tablet tech in place, so it could be foreshadowing the release of a wireless cintiq (which would be the most awesome thing in the world, I use one currently and wireless is the #1 thing I'd like to see in the next version)

Wireless cintiq would probably appeal to non-artists too... all the power of your desktop PC beamed straight to a tablet.. I'd pay a small fortune for the thing if it was lightweight and had an OLED screen, too.]]>Feb 1st 2010 7:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/
I'm not sure why there is such disdain for the graphics tablet world. A graphics tablet should be included with most computers; it is a device that opens up a whole new functionality to your computer. It is no different than a mouse or a keypad and is crucial to getting the most out of your computer. So why shouldn't it be wireless?]]>Feb 1st 2010 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/Feb 1st 2010 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/Feb 1st 2010 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/
And, yes, if they had had a small intuos tablet with bluetooth when I got mine, I would have definitely preferred it. My CPU is about 9 feet away from my monitor, and I use a wireless keyboard and mouse, which make a huge difference in desk and room clutter. Fortunately, the monitor has 2 usb ports, so I can plug the thing in there, but wireless would really have been a bonus.]]>Feb 1st 2010 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/Feb 1st 2010 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/Feb 1st 2010 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/Feb 1st 2010 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/Feb 1st 2010 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/Feb 1st 2010 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/
I would much rather have a wireless Intuos that any of the other crap theyve been adding to it. It would be nice to have more flexibility on where to put the monster on a desk instead of having to worry about where the cord should go.]]>Feb 1st 2010 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/wacom-intuos4-succumbs-to-peer-pressure-goes-wireless/
