Has any 1 had any tests with this.

I'm looking at getting 1 to help with drawing.

Does it do all the touch gestures that the trackpad can do?

It's only £40 here so is a ice cheap alternative to a Magic Trackpad.
 
No touch

The CTL-470 doesn't have touch input. If you intend to draw, invest on a medium sized model, such as the Bamboo Create / Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch CTH-670. It also has touch support.

As for substituting the trackpad, I don't think it has the same responsiveness, as mentioned in this Intuos5 touch review. I have this same model and it works great as a giant trackpad, but is definitely less responsive than a Magic Trackpad.

Hope this helps your decision.

Cheers,
