Genius Tablets (Mousepen and the like)
 

Hey guys, i'm in the market for a graphical tablet ala this

The problem is, although i know Wacom is the superior product in this area, i can't find one here at all (Online ordering is impossible, i'm in egypt). The only option i currently have is Genius. There are two choices, the Genius G-Pen 560, and the Genius Mousepen 8x6.

I'll be using it for drawing web comic style, ala penny arcade and vg cats, simpler lines that sort of stuff. What are your thoughts?

Genius tablets are incredibly cheap when compared to Wacoms, but it's a case of you getting what you pay for. For basic work which doesn't require a high degree of control, I imagine it should work out allright for you. And when it breaks, you won't feel too bad because it was pretty cheap to begin with.

If you're really serious about your work, I'd suggest just scouring the ends of the Internet for a retailer that can ship Wacom tablets to Egypt. They are abhorrently expensive (at least, the Intuos 3/Cintiq line), but they're as good as it gets.
