Hung up and poor support
Having been a satisfied user of the Volito graphic tablet, I believed this updated tablet would be an improvement but alas, no. No matter what I do, I cannot (nor, it seems can Wacom) get the driver to install properly. The result is that the pen freezes regularly - randomly returning to use, it creates random instructions that destroy or otherwise compromise the document, design, spreadsheet or other software.
After several attempts to get sense out of Wacom without any success, I am left to wonder if the "improved" graphic tablet is just too complex for its own good. This is a great pity, as I have been a great fan - which explains my willingness to pay a sizeable sum for this replacement. I shall have to hunt out a simpler tablet in the hope it at least does the simplest things well.

Wacom Intuos3 A5 Tablet Pen and Mouse USB Mac/Win
I have used my old Wacom Graphire A6 tablet for many years now and found it OK but a bit on the small size.
The larger Wacom Intuos3 A5 Tablet Pen and Mouse USB is the perfect size and the no battery mouse and stylus are excellent. The scroll/zoom sliders are very useful and suite left and right handed users.
I echo the praise regarding the functionality and sturdy design in the other reviews.
I would just like to mention that the Ultra Smooth surface of the tablet has helped reduced the sensitivity in my palms, and this is a bonus I didn't expect when I bought this beautifully designed equipment.
The price put me off buying it sooner which I now regret as you will find it worth every penny and wonder how you worked without it..
The Vista installation is easy and trouble free
What are the cons of the WACOM Intuos III A5 Graphic Tablet - well I can't find any

Great upgrade from Graphire....but terrible mouse
Got this after two Wacom Graphire (they werent very good, both were sent back to amazon due to pen issues)broken tablets, as an upgrade, is excellent, you can even FEEL what the money was spent onto. I will recommend this to Photoshop professionals only. If you want to try this and do ocasional retouches on ps, go for the bamboo.
Only a bad point,the mouse is just terrible, I thought I will able to replace my wireless logitech (g7) for the one that comes with the tablet, but the logitech is 10 times better in all levels.

Wacom intuos PTZ-630
I have just received this incredible device as I thought it might be easier to use than a mouse with Corel Paint Shop Photo X2, and WOW. This device is incredible I never realised how much easier everything could be. The Wacom installed without a hitch and 'just worked' what a change that makes. I have Vista and suddenly features on Vista came alive like the Journal which you can just write on like paper.

It may be expensive at £200 but worth every penny for the quality and feel this device offers. If you do anything with graphics no matter how minor get one and enjoy the experiance.

Excellent piece of kit.
I got one of these for Christmas after some heavy hinting and I have to say that I'm delighted with with it. I use it primarily for photo editing and it has a much more natural feel compared to a mouse. It really does make selecting parts of an image easier. The pressure sensitivity does take a bit of getting used to but after just 2 weeks I wouldn't be without it.

I toyed with the idea of getting an A4 sized version but now I'm glad that I didn't. The A5 size is spot on, any bigger and the tablet wouldn't have fitted on my desk.
