I've been toying with the idea of buying a graphics tablet, so that I could more effectively "whiteboard" during webinars. Wacom appears to be the most renown manufacturer in this space, and their products command hefty price tags. I decided to do some research on this DigiPro tablet.

The latest drivers can be found here: http://www.uc-logic.com/download/download_driver.htm. Apparently DigiPro products have a limitation with dual monitors: they will only function on one. This limitation may not be a problem if your canvas does not stretch onto both.

I'm interested to know if anyone has used tablets from this manufacturer before.

Would be interested, but no reviews on Amazon for this model from the looks of it, but the reviews for a similar model aren't good enough for me to get a $50 gadget I don't actually need.

I'd like it for:

www.isketch.net though :)

The bamboo blows this out of the water. yeah, it's twice as much, but it actually works.

I'd bet that for simple whiteboarding purposes, this would work fine, but for anything like using it to draw or really interface with your computer, you would probably want something a little more robust.

Anybody tested it out with linux? Manufacturer does not seem to provide a driver.....

I did research on this sort of thing a year ago, when I got my tablet (I do a lot of digital photo work and some graphic design) and the wacom is worth the price. I ended up getting a pretty small one, but I don't regret it in the least -- the great response is worth having to move the pen a bit more.

For moving a mouse around during a webinar, you'd probably be just as well suited to use one of those pen-mouse things.

On the other hand, this is just about the cheapest I've seen this. If you're wondering if tablet control is something you want to explore, it might be worth it. But I'd rather spend twice as much for a wacom, even one half the size, and be done with it.

"webinars"

Sounds like a slang term for a body part...

hehe.

A kick in the webinars...
