I might just save up for the Cintiq 12WX that's ONLY $999. Maybe by the time I save up, they will come out with an even lighter and cheaper screen tablet. I don't need anything high-end, just something basic but lets you work directly on the surface. I really look forward to working this way. Tons of benefits especially for animation. Ever scan, line/clean up hundreds of frames? Not much fun. Helps to have a scanner with an auto sheet feeder. A screen tablet would waste less paper and time. :)
Considering it only took them 1-2 years to shrink the Cintiq down to the size it is now, I'd say chances are fairly high of something appearing withing the next 5 years to fill the role of "student" product in their Cintiq range, much like the Volito and Bamboo have with their regular tablet range. There's a huge market out there, so when they can release it I'm sure they will.
As for the tablet PC, we can always dream, can't we? ;)
wow, that's interesting. i'll check it out. and yeah, hopefully sometime in the near future... they will have more distribution and come out with more lower end models that aren't so expensive and more durable. Not so delicate and expensive. It would be great if they created a laptop/tablet designed specifically for art... something durable, powerful yet portable and lightweight and within a reasonable price since most artists are starving. ha ha. jk.
Oh, and if you're only wanting something small for sketching, the Nintendo DS application "Colors" has been becoming quite popular. I think you need a homebrew kit to get it working though, which is a little annoying

This comment has received too many negative votes show
seems like a lot of work for a sketch that could be drawn on paper in about two minutes
