Wacom is a producer well known for its graphic tablets, used by artists to work with graphic design/CAM/CAD programs. But Wacom, as any other producer in those times is trying to diversify its products, the latest result being the Wacom Bamboo Touch multitouch USB pad, a product that can be described as a hand operated touch pad (similar to that found on laptops) that has a greater input area and that can support multi touch gestures.

    Wacom Bamboo it’s a very easy to use product: just plug it into an USB port and you’re set to go. Install the included software (works with both PCs and Macs) and you can customize the orientation, the four buttons and other small tweaks. You can use the Wacom Bamboo Touch as a graphic tablet as it recognizes 512 levels of pressure: enough to draw precisely with any Photoshop brush.
