Besides the 10.00(ish) price difference, what's different between these two tablets?

Intuos3 9 x 12-inches USB Mouse / Digitizer / Stylus
vs.
Intuos3 9 x 12-inches Graphics Tablet

Is it just the digitizer? If so, what is a digitizer..?

I have a 9x12 Intuos, but a friend wanted a recommendation and I saw two different tablets that were the same size when I went to give him links..


Thanks,
-Jon

    Sounds like the first one comes with the mouse and the lens cursor. They are called digitizers by engineering people. Useful for tracing maps or cad drawings.

    If in doubt, get the one with the mouse. Handy to be able to switch off easily like that.

    Thanks James & David.

    Sounds like a pretty good deal to add 10 bucks on the price tage and get that extra thumb.gif

    Cheers,
