fyoucher1,
Yes putting the pen down every time you type can be a nuisance at first. I got really good at throwing the pen into the holder like a dart (more with my old intuos3). Lately I've noticed I just type while still holding the pen between my pointer and middle finger– and when I type I'm not using the pointer finger. I can still type pretty fast like this. This is while editing html/css, email, surfing the web, etc. The mouse is connected only because I have to fiddle with BT settings to get my intuos4 wireless connected upon startup every once in a while.
One day wacom will find a way to suspend the pen in mid air right where you left it above the tablet when your hand leaves the tablet to type.

what software supports multi-touch?

The intuos 4 and 5 has the same tilt sensitivity and pen pressure. There is no need to upgrade -- unless you want the wireless and multitouch features. It's just too bad that the OLED display isn't in the Intuos 5. I would probably upgrade if it had it.

im actually rocking the 4x6 / small one. I find it fine for the shit i do, and dont really need to swipe my whole arm across my desk to click something on the other side of the screen, since i use the pen for normal computer operation / web browsing / etc.
- How is the 4x6 for Adobe stuff? (AE, Flash, Web shit, PS, AI, etc)fyoucher1

Worth upgrading from a 4?

my 3 still works like a charm. have had it for a long time too

Well the felt nibs i use are dark grey, almost black... lets see if i can find them here. I think they give 1 sample of each kind when you get the tablet out of the box. Theres the normal plastic ones, the ones with the spring and these 'black' felt ones:

the pen is much more ergonomic for your hand/wrist. Lots of people with carpel tunnel/wrist problems, hand aches, etc find the pen frees them from pain or irritation

Definitely get a tablet. When I type, I simply let it go from in between my pointer and middle fingers so that it naturally rests in the crease of my thumb and palm. All my fingers are then freed up to type. When I'm done I grab it with my two fingers again and I'm back to holding it normally. Been doing that so long I don't know how long it took my to adjust to that, but it just feels natural now.
- thanks for the tip this is a much better way to hold it than I've been using haha!fourth

I'm convinced. I've just ordered one. And I thought I'd stopped buying tablets many years back...

An old employer shelled out for a Large Intuos 4 for me on a recommendation from another designer who found the pen/tablet reduces wrist strain. It took me about a week to get used to it. It was a great change. My only complaint was the Large was a little too big. Too much arm movement. Particularly on a dual screen setup 27" imac + 23" screen. Before I left that job my responsibilities changed from a typical designer to that of template creation and data entry and cutting/pasting snippets of text from multiple windows was a drag.
- yeah medium is a good sweet spot. large only if you are a wide stroke "shoulder" painterfourth

How do you type with a mouse in your hand. I actually type with the pen in my hand for quick stuff, and its ingrained in me to snag it from the space bar on my way back to the tablet... I actually grab air there when im using someone elses computer haha.

I'm seriously thinking of hanging up the mouse for one of these, I take it you'd all suggest it's the way to go?

same level of pressure as the 4, so I don't see much what's worth over a 4
