Wacom Reveals Wireless Intuos4 Tablet

Tweet

Wacom has updated their popular Intuos4 line of tablet input devices with wireless connectivity.  The new Wacom Intuos4 tablets will offer a cable-free connection using Bluetooth wireless for mobile-minded graphics professionals.

Beyond the wireless update for the new Intuos4 devices, Wacom has left the rest of its tablet pretty much the same.  The left column of buttons and controls are unchanged, as is the curvy build-factor of the unit.  From a hardware perspective, Wacom has only added a new stylus clip and LEDs to display charge status and wireless connectivity.  The addition of Bluetooth wireless, however, is enough to merit the $50 bump in pricing.  The new Wacom Intuos4 will let its users forego cables for a cleaner, wire-free desktop or a mobile-friendly connection when on-the-go.

The new Bluetooth-ready Wacom Intuos4 graphics tablet will begin shipping in March for $400.  At present, only the medium version of the Intuos4 line will be wireless capable, with no word on the inevitable extension of Bluetooth connectivity to the rest of Wacom’s tablet devices.  This alone, however, is a great step forward for Wacom.
