Well, well, well, here's some cool stuff from Genius. The giant company has recently come up with a brand new range of devices in its portfolio, and since PC tablets are definitely not their stuff, I guess there are some reasons to gaze in amazement.

Yesterday, the company has reported its intentions of shipping out a pair of PC tablets, which are claimed to be inexpensive and totally up to date with the latest features. Dubbed G-Pen 560, the PC tablet includes a 4.5 by 6-inch surface that offers breathing room for sketches, as well as for writing and presentation purposes. The coolest things of all I believe are the built-in programmable hotkeys to assign to specific drawing styles, which means that both pros and amateurs ca explore they creative sense, without any technical restraints.

Moreover, the cordless pen is said to feature two buttons and 1024 level pressure sensitivity, meaning while drawing with the digital pen, you can control all kinds of shapes and thickness easily. The two buttons of the pen can also be programmed as the left and right mouse buttons. They even added support for messenger handwriting function.

And yet, the bundled software includes Power Presenter RE, Free Notes and Office Ink which provide useful and convenient functions for your presentation or handwritten notes. As a bonus, this software -- PhotoImpact XL SE is an excellent tool for photos, design charts and web graphics editing. Wacom, if I were you, I would watch out my a*s!

To make it even easier to use, the system was also given a presentation and note taking software as well as a pen that recognizes 1,024 sensitivity levels. The makers say that the PC tablets should support any Mac or Windows PC with a USB port and ships from several Mac- and Windows-oriented online retailers today for $69 price tag a pop.
