Wacom passed the DTF-720C Interactive Pen Display, pictured above, through the FCC yesterday.  If you’re not familiar with Wacom’s interactive pen displays, you should definitely check one out.  These devices are essentially a large tablet monitor that acts as a digital canvas.  Users can ‘draw’ on the DTF-720C with a stylus, and the display measures up to 512 levels of pressure sensitivity to accurately reproduce your sketches with digital ink.

The DTF-720 has a 17”, 1280 x 1024 SXGA screen and connects to your computer with an analog RGB cable.  The device also has VGA pass through connector and USB ports.

Pricing for the DTF-720 costs a still $1,999, making it more of a professional product rather than a hobbyist’s toy.  The device is available now directly from Wacom.

The Wacom DTK-2100 LCD Tablet passed through the FCC today.  No external photos of the device are available, although label pics (above) give us some idea of what the tablet will look like.

The DTK-2100 seems similar to Wacom’s Cintiq’s line of LCD tablets.  However, it’s not clear if the DTK-2100 will be an addition to the Cintiq line, or part of a new line of LCD tablets.

Wacom’s DTU-2231A 21.5” LCD pen tablet made an appearance on the FCC recently, suggesting that the device will be making its way to the United States.  Specs of the device are already available on Wacom’s Japanese site, and include full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, 512 levels of pressure, and cordless pen input device.

We don’t have any word on availability or pricing.  However, Wacom’s Cintiq 21UX digitizer currently sells from around $1,900, so we wouldn’t be surprised if the DTU-2231A has a price point in this area.

Announced back in July, the Wacom STU-300 allows users to capture electronic signatures in a mobile environment.  The device, which passed through the FCC today, connects via USB to a laptop and can recognize 512 pressure levels and 200 signals per second.  We don’t really have a reference point for those stats, but according to Wacom they ensure that a unique biometric signature profile is recorded, making forgeries nearly impossible.

The STU-300 is ideal for mobile environments where an accurate electronic signature is needed.  Insurance agents, for example, could use this device when doing accident reports.

No word on pricing or availability, but we’d expect to see this device soon.

It’s been a busy holiday season for Wacom.  A couple of days ago, the company passed a new version of their Intuos4 digitizer through the FCC.  Today, Wacom followed up with a new version of their popular Bamboo Pen digitizer, called the CTL-660.

We don’t have much more on the CTL-660 than the label pics above.  The device does seem similar in size and shape to previous versions of the Bamboo Pen, however.

Wacom is the leader in digitizers, and yesterday the company passed the PTK-540WL through the FCC.  Wacom doesn’t make many appearances on the FCC, since many of their products rely on wires.  But the PTK-540WL features Bluetooth goodness, which is a big improvement to the company’s professional Intuos4 product line.

We don’t know much about the PTK-540WL, but I’d guess that the device looks like other pen tablets in the Intuos4 product line, minus the wires.  Either way, Bluetooth will be a big plus for pen tablet users with crowded desks.
