The G-Pen M609X and G-Pen M712X are both dual-mode and come with extensive multimedia functions. Both tablets work with Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Mac OS X 10.2.8 or later. The dual-mode capabilities allow users to switch the screen from wide to standard and back again. Additional features include: PhotoShop Elements 6.0, a pad cover and ability to make brush-width adjustments. The tablets are available in two sizes, the G-Pen M609X's screen size is 9" x 5.5" (wide) / 7.25" x 5.5" (standard); while the G-Pen M712X is a bit bigger with a screen size that measures 12" x 7.25" (wide) / x 9.5" x 7.25" (standard). The G-Pen M712X (34 hot keys) has eight more "fast shortcut keys" than the M609X (26 hot keys). The fast shortcut keys are used to access Office, the Internet and PC or Mac functions. Both come with rolling pads at the top of the tablet (scroll, zoom, volume) and hot keys that are used when creating, writing, drawing, sketching and signing emails. Both tablets also come with a cordless pen. About the Author: Mike is a staff writer for WebProNews. Visit WebProNews for the latest ebusiness news.
