The Bamboo Pad is a touchpad with a digital stylus. Using touches & gestures on the Bamboo Pad makes navigating in operating systems such as Windows 8 (or Mac OS X 10.7+) more intuitive & convenient than with a traditional mouse. Thanks to its particularly thin profile, the pad is ergonomic & comfortable to use for hours on end. The special feature of the Bamboo Pad, however, is its digital stylus, which is especially useful whenever you would use a pen instead of your finger in your non-digital life: e.g. for making quick notes & doodles or for marking & annotating texts. With just a few strokes of the stylus, you can give things like e-mails a personal touch by adding handwriting, a h&-drawn smiley, or other customised details. What is more, h&-drawn visualisations can be used to spruce up your presentations & make them really stand out. Setting up the Bamboo Pad is as easy as operating it: thanks to plug & play technology, no installation is needed on Windows 7 & Windows 8. A driver for the Mac OS X operating system is available from www.wacom.com. The wireless version of the Bamboo Pad features maximum flexibility – both by using its radiofrequency connection (RF) to avoid cable mess & by offering you a full range of colours to choose from: try metallic grey with black, or pearl white with fresh colour accents in either blue, green or violet.
