Wacom has finally produced a Cintiq model that is priced under $1000. Take a look at http://global.wacom.com/cintiq/12WX.cfm. For those unfamiliar with Cintiq tablets, the advantage to other tablets is that instead of drawing on the tablet and watching what you do on your monitor, you work and look directly on the tablet which acts as a monitor as well. Previously, the only Cintiq tablets available were for around $2000 and up.
