I bought tablet2MIDI because: 1) I already have an Intuos3 and Bamboo Pen&Touch and I didn't want to spend $300 on a mackie control surface.
2) I can customize the interface - something you can't do on a physical MIDI controller
3) a tablet's flat dimensions makes it more portable than a studio MIDI controller, except for the Korg Nano controllers. http://www.korg.com/nanoseries (http://www.korg.com/nanoseries)
However, I can understand why development for Tablet2MIDI has slowed down (discontinued?). You may not use it often since you have to pick up the pen each time.
Fortunately, Wacom launched a second generation of their bamboo series, these tablets double as a multi-touch touchpads (pressure sensitive too). http://www.wacom.com/bamboo/bamboo_pen_touch.php (http://www.wacom.com/bamboo/bamboo_pen_touch.php)
I tested tablet2MIDI on my Bamboo Pen&Touch and it works when I use the pen, but not when I use my fingers (wintab drivers do not operate touchpad mode). I hope you can make v1.0 support this! Just imagine: no need to pick up a pen, having the ability to create your own pressure-sensitive drumpads, and even use 2 fingers to turn a virtual rotary knob! Furthermore, Bamboo Pen&Touch is so thin that it slips right into a laptop sleeve, perfect for portable laptop studios.
These tablets cost around $100. Add in $60 for Tablet2MIDI, and the sum still beats the prices of most non-portable non-customizable MIDI control surfaces. I think this could be the "killer app" for Tablet2MIDI. Please continue development for this great product!
