Best bet is to get yourself along to Aldi when they have some of theirs in. Around £25 for a4 plus. They dont have all the wacom bells and whistles but will allow you to test drive the concept, and see if you can work that way without shelling a shedload of cash on the proper thing.

I think the expensive ones have more pressure levels and don't have batteries in the pen bit.

Hmmm, www.dabs.com/uk/Search2/Product+Details.htm?quicklinx=3FG8&searchphrase=wacom (check the price) vs under 30 to see if he likes it.

Its like buying a 911 to learn in....

There was a similar thread a few weeks ago in the Photo forum - on the strength of which the recommendations for the Wacom Volito looked good for a cost effective 40 quid or so as a trial.

Better still the Volito2 has just been launched. Seems only PC World stock it but at 39.99 it's worth a punt.

So I bought one. Seems to work pretty well, especialy if you are an artist. (Which I am not)

I need to practice for the photo editing bit but my brief sessions so far suggest that it is not at all bad for amateur work and that my hand and arm movements are really as erratic as my handwriting suggests! But I am carrying an injury at the moment ...

Certainly worth a look anyway.

EDIT to add that it is only A6 size, approx, but seems to offer pretty fair resolution despite that.
