Genius G-Pen 560
$69.00
Released April, 2004
The Pros:Easy to set up and start using, good choice for the entry-level user. Low enough price that you can pick it up for a kid who is curious about it.
The Cons:Drawing area is fairly small. Tends to get tempermental and not want to pick up input from the pen. Batteries in the pen end up getting drained quickly.

The cordless pen is sensitive to up to 1024 levels of pressure, allowing lines to be drawn at various thicknesses intuitively as required. Two buttons on the pen can be used as left and right mouse clicks, or they can be programmed for other functions instead. A "Hot-Key" area on the pad can be used for quick activation of various office and Internet functions. Bundled software allows for handwritten notes on documents of various types and special functions for live presentations. The PhotoImpact XL SE, also included, allows quick editing of photos, charts and web graphics.
