not useful for me, its what I have from Wacom that I never use, the volito is a repackaged graphire with a neato black colour, nothing special. I use a pen all the time, so I need something that is 6x8 or larger, and Wacoms in Europe in that size are untouchable new for less than 600 euro... its a colossal ripoff as they are nearly half the price in the USA. Next time I'm in the states I am picking up an intuos!
