Wacom's Cintiq

Well, almost two years ago I found out about the Wacom's Cintiq. This is a drawing pad (if you didn't bother clicking on the link) that shows the screen as if you were drawing on the monitor. It works as a second monitor so that you can have your tools on your usual screen while drawing on the pad.

Two years ago when I saw this on Wacom's site, I was both excited and disappointed. One thousand dollars? Well, I thought, "maybe it's just because it's new technology". That excuse is getting old Wacom. I still can't afford to spend a thousand dollars on a tablet no matter how cool it may be. I thought that maybe after two years the price would come down somewhat. You haven't changed the product. There's no 2.0 or anything. If you'd just come out with a new version, the older version would at least become affordable on Ebay.

I realize that technology really doesn't change that much with tablets as it does with much of the other computer world. Still, I know the components prices must have come down some. Clearly you're not taking into consideration the troubled economic times and the typical starved-situation that it is to be an artist.

Wacom, might you consider changing your prices after two years?
