I looked around for some a while back online and they were around 100 bucks give or take some [being that's been a year or more ago]. Check around electronics stores search engines. I went to Best Buy Circuit City places like that online and it gave me a rough estimate.
I still don't have enough to get one right now.
A tablet is an electronic mousepad with a pen for the mouse. You can use it to draw on a computer more comfortably and accurately than with a regular mouse. It's more like using a pencil and pad that way, if this is what the poster meant by 'tablet'

You can get them for about $50 on amazon.
I have one and it's fine, you don't need a really expensive one.

My first (and sofar only) tablet is a A4 Trust, the cheapest I could find XD
The trust tablet, so far I can understand, is low standard and generally far from the greatness of say, the Wacom Bamboo - and right now mine is broken XP
Still, I recomend that you either buy a very cheap tablet or borrow from a friend until you know if you really want/need one. It takes a few months (give or take, depending on how much you use it) to get used to it. Only such a thing as watching the screen instead of the pen...
Personally I found out that although it helps a lot, esp. in hair, I don't really need it.

I think the brand "Genius" is the cheapest (like i said, I THINK, don't argue). I got mine about A4 size and only $29. The tablet is made out of poor quality materials but it works great with my laptop or desktop computer. I've used it for more than a year now and have been using it to make digital art. Still working of course.
In my opinion if you are an amateur or starter or not good enough yet go for a cheaper brand until you get used to it then go for big name brands like "Wacom" (the best apparently). It is the same with size, go for a small one until you decide this is the medium you want to work with then go for a bigger size.

The bamboo fun is pretty good for the price, you can get a small one for 99.00, mine is a medium for 199.

I have a Wacom Ituos4 small. It rocks! It was a bit pricey, but worth it. I tried several cheaper counter parts like the bamboos and there is a real difference. You get what you pay for, what else can I say. If you are really serious about your art, spend the extra bucks. The one I have was the cheapest for the best control at $200. I got mine at Best Buy, but Google 'wacom' and go to their site. It shows you all the places to purchase their products. I hope this helped.

Damn...I want a Wacom now. The one I have is just a sensor, you cannot see what you are drawing on the tablet itself, just on the computer's monitor. Sigh.

I'd suggest getting a Wacom Bamboo off of Amazon.com. I have one and it's amazing!

My brother has a Bamboo, but it is tiny. I know they have bigger one's...but I'm not sure I'd have any better luck on a Bamboo thank on my current one.
I bear the dilemma of being dyslexic and having some weird spatial visualization disability. So if I am drawing on one surface but referencing my work on another my art suffers. Terribly. I have much better success if the surface I am watching is also the surface I am working on.
I'm not kidding on that disability thing either. Some doctor, years ago, told my parents that I don't see everything I am supposed to with my left eye...I have some unusually large "blind spot" on the lower left side of my vision. My brain seems to fill in the blank bits with the information of what I can see, so I would never have noticed anything unusual myself. But this is why I have trouble with anatomy/perspective. Weird, huh? It is also why my current tablet experience has felt like such a let down. But Wacom has one called CintiQ that I will be able to use, I just have to save up.
