What is Bamboo?

All of us are using technology more and more in our daily lives. There’s no avoiding it. Some of it makes life easier. Some of it just makes things worse.

The aim of Bamboo is to make using the most sophisticated and complicated technology as simple, intuitive and natural as possible. Why can’t drawing and sketching on a computer or phone be as simple as drawing and sketching on a piece of paper? Why can't making notes on electronic documents be as intuitive as scribbling in the margins?

Whether you want to work on a desktop, laptop, portable pc or mobile smartphone, our products offer the simplicity and immediacy of touch technology combined with the precision and craftsmanship of digital pen technology. It is our aim in life to provide technology tools that help people be themselves whoever they are, whatever they do, however they do it.

Bamboo for desktop

Why do mobile devices have all the fun? Have you ever wanted to just point at the file on your desktop with your finger? Even wondered why only tablets and smartphones say 'touch me' while laptops and desktops still have a 'don’t touch' attitude?

With a bamboo tablet you can feel the same way about your desktop (or laptop) as you do about working on your iPad or smartphone. Navigate by touch - feel your way round your files. And with the added advantage of being able to use a pen for those finer more precise activities where fingers feel like blunt instruments and only a fine point will do.

Bamboo for iPad

iPads are great. And using your fingers to navigate, surf, swipe, scroll, type, write etc is just brilliant. But if there are moments when you miss that pen on paper feel, bamboo stylus could be for you.

Bamboo Paper

Bamboo Paper is the perfect complement to the Bamboo Stylus, letting you sketch out your thoughts and ideas on digital paper using your own handwriting. Wherever you are, at home or on the road, Bamboo Paper gives you the freedom take notes, draw, doodle, jot down recipes, write a quick list, entertain the kids and more!
