""A different Brad": I haven't tried the Bamboo tablet yet, but I've heard good things about them (and used previous Wacom tablets in the past; good brand). But yeah, this is for my "HTPC" so wireless is important. I do use my iPhone as a trackpad sometimes, but I need a general purpose device that stays with my mini, since I can't afford to equip each of my three kids with an iPhone/iPod touch." - Brad Choate
