Wacom has releasing new version of Intuos 4. Introducing new hardware design, buttons improvement, new pen technology and now its use Bluetooth to connect to your Mac or PC.
I have predicted that new Intuos 4 will follow similar design with Wacom Bamboo Touch.

With the new Bluetooth connection lets you move about 10 meters from your computer, works great for demo and presentation.

Introducing new design

One thing I like about the new Intuos 4, now the buttons (called ExpressKeys) has illuminate small screen for displaying the button’s command. The ring button also can controls up to 4 different function for each applications. Wacom is trying to minimizing the use of keyboard, now we can assign the most commonly used command with the ring button.

How ever, Intuos 4 is not free from cable. You still have to mingle with USB cable to charge Intuos 4 if the battery run out. Wacom Intuos 4 will cost you $400. In Indonesia, probably it will cost around Rp 3,800,000, and usually it will be available in the next 1-3 months.
