As a graphic design student I use my bamboo tablet from Wacom extensively. Wacom recently expanded the bamboo experience with Bamboo Dock, a collection of handy apps and widgets based on adobe air. Each of these apps are either based around productivity or just plain fun! Until earlier in the week these were PC only, although Wacom has now released the mac equivalent.
Opened with a simple drawing of a line with your tablet the dock expands to show all the apps that you have installed with the option of installing apps later on through community sources. Currently only a few apps are available such as Doodle which sorta says it all but it fun if you need to scribble down a few notes or sketch out some ideas…and Landmarker, which is a fully functional map interface that you can also scribble on and leave notes… although a downside to this is that it uses yahoo maps instead of Google which I would have preferred. Finally you can also add shortcuts to any application installed, saving you from having programs on your dock or in a stack.
Overall a very nice piece of software with alot of potential for some great add-ons! For more information, check out the Wacom Bamboo Dock site.
