I'd imagine for general "pointing and clicking" around photoshop it probably wouldn't be that much better. If your PP work involved moving sliders and adding layers without masks or doing lightroom-type stuff then it's probably a waste of money.
But for anything resembling freehand stuff, particularly painting on masks (which I do quite a lot of) it would be a godsend. I find the "disconnection" between a regular tablet and seperate screen quite distracting. And of course any illustration work would be amazingly intuitive.
I REALLY want to move towards doing more illustrative things with my photos, but I never seem to get the inspiration when I've got them open in PS... only ever when I'm away from the PC. It's frustrating.
...not that buying a tablet like this would give me inspiration... but it's still a very nice peripheral.
