WYNIT Now Stocking New Family of Wacom Pen Tablets; Product Offers Consumer Progressive and Natural Workflow

NORTH SYRACUSE, NY (11/29/2007)(readMedia)-- WYNIT dealers across the country can now offer their customers Wacom’s all new family of pen tablets. This lineup of human interface devices includes Bamboo and Bamboo Fun, two distinct pen tablets that provide a natural, personal and creative digital input experience in any home or work environment.

Just like the first writing instruments in Asia created from bamboo and fur, Wacom’s new Bamboo and Bamboo Fun reinvent the pen for the 21st century and offer new inking freedoms for our era. “Advances in both software applications and computer operating systems make this an ideal time for us to interact with computers in a more expressive and efficient manner,” said Dennis Hoff, Wacom’s consumer product manager. “Now, you can use a pen to create expressive content, personalize communications and navigate more freely.”

Both Bamboo and Bamboo Fun sport elegant designs with increased functionality and ease of use in mind. Four programmable ExpressKeys™ are situated on the tablet surface to customize commonly used commands, such as “undo” or “copy.” A finger-sensitive Touch Ring has been positioned to allow for quick and easy zooming and scrolling. The textured work surface of the tablet provides an intuitive pen-on-paper feel, while the stylish and ergonomically designed pens allow users to experience seemingly unlimited levels of pressure sensitivity, to create variations of pen strokes, from fine lines to bold brush marks. Additionally, Bamboo and Bamboo Fun work elegantly in both Mac and PC (including Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista™) environments.

Applications for the Bamboo Family Uses at home include: Business uses include:

  • Signing - sign contracts and initial forms
  • Editing - edit all types of documents
  • Organizing - highlight and aggregate Web research
  • Annotating - jot notes during a meeting or class
  • Brainstorming - sketch ideas and scribble down concepts
  • Redlining - mark-up engineering plans
