YOUR BAMBOO

This section introduces you to Bamboo.  The quickest way to learn about your Bamboo tablet is to become 
familiar with its appearance and features.

Not all product models are available in all regions.

Your Bamboo tablet cannot be used with other Wacom pens or input devices, including those from a 
previous version Bamboo tablet.  Nor can a pen from your new Bamboo tablet be used with other 
Wacom tablets or a previous version Bamboo tablet.
