I don't see that Wacom is currently offering a notepad meant to be used with paper, though. When you link up the Bamboo via Bluetooth it will automatically open the Ink preference pane. In general Wacom has been Apple's only tablet manufacturer for more years than I'd like to count. One thing worth knowing is that the Wacom Bamboo is a recent tablet that makes a big deal of its Mac compatibility. The give-away is that each one has a small display and 4 buttons in the top-left-hand corner (even though the Genius is landscape-oriented.) Looking on the Web it seems pretty clear to me that none of these tablets are Mac compatible.

It syncs with my Mac just fine via USB, and they're wicked-cheap. Personally, I've had great luck in the past with an old Palm V with a Palm V keyboard connected to it. Highly Recommended for tech-heavy meetings.

We use this method to record meeting minutes at my Mac User Group's board meetings. The coolest notetaking I've ever used though is SubEthaEdit which allows your open note document to be edited live with anyone else at your meeting who also uses SubEthaEdit. CircusPonies also makes a well respected program called NoteBook.

If you're looking for something more portable, use TextEdit and save to RTF. Microsoft word has a 'notebook' view in Word2004 that makes taking notes easier. If the notes you take are merely written words, with no diagrams, just type them on a laptop. I believe the model number for the Mac-compatible version is 500M. Take the notes on actual paper (which is the best medium for freeform notes anyway), then scan them into your mac with a fujitsu scansnap.
