Yeah the Wacom is nice. Unfortunatley you have got to pay for it. I have used other brands of tablet, but nothing (for me) has ever come close to wacom.
You should of course spend money on software as to get hold of a free copy would be very illegal.
I would reccomend Flip Book from Digicel. Its ace.
I think its about $80 but I might be wrong.
