Whilst it is a basic tablet of today's standards - it was released in 2005 at a consumer/entry level price point - the tablet is USB powered with a pressure-sensitive wireless pen. I was looking to improve the ease and accuracy of painting selection masks in CNX2 etc and this only requires basic functionality.
The base Win7 OS provides a generic device driver for this tablet but Wacom provide a better driver included as part of the Bamboo driver suite.
One of the great benefits of the Wacom driver is that you can limit the tablet active area to represent a single monitor (if you are running dual monitors) via their Bamboo Preferences util. This functionality is very useful since the Volito only has a small A6 touch active area and the limiting improves accuracy of pen strokes.
Improve Responsiveness during Drawing
I found that the default settings made it quite difficult to paint on selection masks in CNX2 but this can be helped by disabling the hold-for-right-click functionality.
Other references also suggest setting the double click distance to small to also help improve responsiveness.
