Wacom has introduced an updated verson of its Intuos4 graphics tablet, its first to make use of Bluetooth connectivity.

"Available only in the medium-size version for about $399, $50 more than its USB-only twin, the Intuos4 Wireless becomes a great option for artists and illustrators on the go — or even sedentary ones with an aversion to wires," writes Crave's Lori Grunin.

"Beyond the wireless update for the new Intuos4 devices, Wacom has left the rest of its tablet pretty much the same," according to Mike at TFTS. "The left column of buttons and controls are unchanged, as is the curvy build-factor of the unit. From a hardware perspective, Wacom has only added a new stylus clip and LEDs to display charge status and wireless connectivity."

"There is also a five button, wireless mouse that can be used atop the pad should you need it," notes Wired's Charlie Sorrel.

Aircell has received $176 million in financing.

"The round of funding should give Aircell's Gogo Inflight Internet service a big boost," writes VentureBeat's Camille Ricketts.

"The company says it has installed its Wi-Fi service on more than 700 commercial aircraft and has commitments from nine airlines," writes Tnooz's Dennis Schaal. "Among them are Air Canada, AirTran, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Virgin America and US Airways."

"No word on who the investors were, but it says was a mix of news and old investors," writes paidContent.org's Rafat Ali.

"Raising more cash is a good sign in this still terrible economy, but without knowing more about the terms, it's hard to rate whether Aircell gave away the store, or brought in more eager equity participants," notes Wi-Fi Net News' Glenn Fleishmann.

Luke Anderson has built (and released the design for) a Lego wireless router, using the popular Linksys WRT54GL.

"Clever DIYer Luke Anderson got an urge to do some building, and realized that his not-so-attractive router would fit nicely and might look rather sleek inside some Lego blocks, so he got building," writes Lifehacker's Adam Pash.

"We all know what Lego can create, and with that in mind, it shouldn't be too surprising to see somebody rip out the PCB of his WRT54GL and pop it into a Lego enclosure, but while it's not surprising, it's still a great job, and one that'll look real good in your living room," according to Ubergizmo.

"Great job Luke," writes SlipperyBrick's Conner Flynn. "You make Wi-Fi look good."

At CES this week, D-Link introduced two new 802.11n routers: the touchscreen D-Link Touch DIR-865 and the portable D-Link Wireless N Pocket Router.

"The Touch supports true dual-band capabilities, working in 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands at the simultaneously," writes CNET's Dong Ngo. "Three data streams offer throughput speeds of up to 450Mbps when used with the same standard wireless clients. Like all Wireless-N routers, it's also backward compatible with earlier standards (802.11a/b/g)."

"For those on the go, D-Link introduces the D-Link Wireless N Pocket Router," writes PC Mag's Samara Lynn. "It's a portable router that lets you create an 802.11n wireless network wherever you may need it, or it can be used as an access point to extend a Wi-Fi network from an existing wired one by plugging it into Ethernet. At the right size, it could take on the Novatel MiFi."

Legislators in Maine will soon consider a bill mandating warning labels on cell phones stating that they may cause brain cancer.

"State Representative Andrea M. Boland, a Democrat from Sanford, is pushing for the state to become the first to require cell phone manufacturers to put warnings on packaging, like those on cigarettes," writes the NYT's Katie Zezima.

"Ms. Boland filed the bill in October, and a committee voted to hear it this month, a time typically reserved for emergency legislation," Zezima writes.

"San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom is considering a similar measure for his city," writes Gearlog's Chloe Albanesius. "No U.S. state has implemented such a bill, though some countries require them."
