I'm very excited but at the same time, its too expensive and I'm not going to buy it.

I'm definitely getting it, and it might even bump my new monitor down a notch on my wish list. I love my Intuos 3 and it has saved me so much time that I believe it has paid for itself many times over. The new hot key features with the 4 satisfy the only complaints I had with the 3, that they were split across 2 sides (meaning that I programmed based on which I used most being closer to my free hand) and that there was no way to label them (meaning that I spent the first several months with the little paper reminder card taped to the bottom of my monitor). The programmable hot keys have been my favorite thing about these tablets and so these improvements alone make the purchase a no-brainer for me. I will be able to keep the 3 in my laptop bag now, instead of switching it back and forth when I'm on the road, and can keep the 4 on my desktop where I use it most.

p.s. I just saw the nib container in the slideshow. YAY! :)

I got the a4-wide yesterday.
My intuos 3 had some scratches on the surface so I had a good excuse  ;)
I really like the design and the white oled display. Being lefthanded, I was a bit worried about the mini usb connexion but there is a slide to switch between top and bottom. It does take a bit of getting used to though, my hand keeps going to the side where the buttons used to be.

What are you doing with your intous 3?

Sell it I guess, it's an a5-wide with two grip-pens.
