You should buy a Wacom.
Even a Volito is good enough if you're starting out (even if it's small).
You might get bigger Aiptek tablets for less money ...
but it's more likely that there are driver problems and they break more easily.
Personally I think size doesn't matter in that case.

Do a search for Wacom and Aiptec and you'll see that there are several threads already.
Maybe save money for a good tablet and work with a mouse.
Personally I think working with a mouse is great because you have to learn how to use the tools properly to compensate for missing pressure sensitivity.

Good point Awetopsy.

Edix: If you buy a tablet at ebay look for a licensable version.

I just read that in other threads.
I think it means that if the previous owner hasn't licenced his version you can do it and get support and so on ... !?
