Yes, art tablets are some of the best tools available, especially considering that Photoshop has FULL support for them (including features on some tablets (www.frys.com) that Wacom doesn't offer). Wacom is one of the better manufacturers of these things...however, I wish to warn people that if you get one and get used to using it...you're going to run into one serious issue. Most place don't want to dish out the money for these things. So, unless you feel like hauling the tablet and stylus with you everywhere you go, you might think about trying to use it with a pair of boxing gloves on, because that's what it's like going back to a mouse or trackball afterwards. Hence, why I usually use a mouse for everything and save my tablet for special projects.
