This is a really cool announcement today! Ever since the Intuos4 came out, my tablet usage has really skyrocketed (a lot had to do with the performance of the mouse – see my original post here). While I think that the tablet is now one of those must have accessories in your creative arsenal, one of the things I’ve always wondered about is whether these tablets would ever go wireless using Bluetooth technology. Now I have to wonder no more with the release of the new Intuos4 Wireless tablet. Check out some information below:
“Vancouver, WA – Feb. 1, 2010 – Today, Wacom® announces the Intuos®4 Wireless professional pen tablet, a highly-anticipated product featuring Bluetooth wireless technology. The new Intuos4 Wireless is expected to be warmly embraced by photographers, designers and artists who seek the freedom of wireless technology as well as the control and comfort benefits inherent in Wacom’s professional line of pen tablets. The liberating experience of being able to move about the room and work “unattached” from a computer also makes the Intuos4 Wireless an excellent tool for use at a collaborative work session or in a classroom setting such as an art class or photography seminar. In addition, the medium-sized Intuos4 Wireless fits easily into most computer laptop bags, making it a wonderful input solution for mobile creative professionals and students. ”

I for one totally welcome the wireless tablet. We’ll be showing it off on Layers TV taping TODAY. For more information on this, please make sure to visit www.wacom.com
That SUCKS man lol. I should have waited a few months. Then again, that’s how it always is………when u buy something, expect it to become obsolete in a couple months. Ufff!!!
My first reaction to that was $399!!!!! But realized that it is a medium size and only $30 more. That’s not bad at all. Only problem is let say you do work as a retoucher and the studio doesn’t support Bluetooth or wants to add it to their computer. Do you have the option to use it wired with a USB cable as well?
Looking forward to the review of the wireless tablet. Most interested in any noticeable delay. The fact that its an either/or option is great. Wired or Wireless.
