    Glad people are finding them.

    Just a quick review as I had a good mess with mine last night.

    I downloaded the newest drivers form trust and I am using Vista 64bit. Once installed the main area of the pad is mapped to the screen and and the hotkeys around the edges all worked fine.

    After a quick mess with the software, you can customise the working area and turn the hotkeys on/off (each side individually). I soon set mine so the whole pad is in use and the hotkeys where off.

    Started photoshop CS3 and it works perfectly, the 512 pressure points on the pen do actually work. You can set a brush and that will be maximium pressure as such, so you can vary the brush strokes with how much pressure you use. I used quite a large brush and was able to draw tiny lines right upto the full width. The end result is impressive, I only made random patterns etc but the results very natural looking if that makes sense.

    I am very happy with mine basically.

    None in Belfast :(

    Kelkoo list them between £25 and £27.50.
    Life in this world is, as it were, a sojourn in a cave. What can we know of reality? For all we can see of the true nature of existence is, shall we say, no more than bewildering and amusing shadows cast upon the inner wall of the cave by the unseen blinding light of absolute truth, from which we may or may not deduce some glimmer of veracity, and we as troglodyte seekers of wisdom can only lift our voices to the unseen and say humbly "Go on, do deformed rabbit again.....it's my favourite". © Terry Pratchett in "Small Gods"

    None in Sunderland or Boldon either. Boldon had the shelf label, but they were out of stock :(
    Looking forward to the future.

    Just got one in Southport Asda, they had 2 left, showed up on reciept as TABLET £15 and as I got the security tag removed and showed receipt the chavs and drunks outside asked if it was a special Tablet for £15 because they usually only pay £2!

    They also had webcams down from 8.99 to 5.99, webkits (i presume webcam and mic) down to 8.96 and a slim card reader down to £10. Oh and stretch low cut briefs half price, but only in small and i needed bigger!

    Well as reported I ordered mine online and it was due for delivery between 1-3pm yesterday.....
    3.30 still no sign, call centre said they'd chase it up,
    4.10 still no sign call centre said driver said she was 15-20 mins away from my home,
    5 pm nothing, call centre say store is running 3 hrs behind so wait and phone back after 6.....
    phoned at 6.30...they said manager would put it in his car and bring it to me personally because it had somehow been taken back to the store.
    7pm manager phoned and apologised and sent it all to me by taxi!
    Finally got it at 8pm! PHEW!

    If it hadn't been for the graphics tablet I would've cancelled by about 4pm...I hope my son likes it after all that!

    For my trouble I got delivery refunded (even though I had free delivery code) free delivery code for use next time, flowers, 5 free bags of ice (because they had to pack them round my chilled food) and he said hes posting me a gift card too but didn't mention how much for.

    Lordy didn't realise when I read the OP I'd be going through all that!!
    You'll make my day if I know I've been helpful to you in some small way,
