    Yes, I like that they have ditched the monotonous and drab dark gray of the last one and gone with an aluminum-like finish. Also nice is the new widescreen form factor and the 1lb reduction in weight. How much the price will go up is yet to be seen....

    Wait, wasn't the previous model Wacom enabled too? I think you may be confusing this with the tx1000, on the consumer side of the market.
