Introduction


Wacom, the most popular Tablet Corporation, again has come out with another great series of tablets called the Bamboo. We heard much of their lower end Bamboo tablet, but now they have an improved and better tablet called the Bamboo Fun. Many of us are quite annoyed by the fact that working with a mouse in Adobe Photoshop, Corel Paint Shop Pro, or any other graphical application is very difficult. Drawing and shading in objects can become a nightmare and this is where the Bamboo Fun comes in. The Bamboo Fun is a perfect solution for any beginner or intermediate tablet user who is looking to unleash the capabilities in doing some amazing artwork. The Bamboo Fun can take you from just plain writing to a higher level experience that is very difficult to achieve with a standard mouse.

With Microsoft’s new Operating System “Windows Vista” you can unleash even more things that this tablet can handle. If you have not yet worked with a tablet in your life before, look no further than the Bamboo Fun. Your graphical needs will be exceptional. Now if you are an experienced tablet uses, and need a higher end tablet for your graphical needs, you might want to look into Wacom’s Intuos3 or the Cintiq. So without anything else said, let’s take a look at what this tablet is capable of.
