I really, really, hope you understand how hard and different it is to draw on the iPhone rather than on a piece of paper. Because you can't use a pencil or a pointed stylus. If you get a stylus for the iPhone, it will be a special one with a flat tip, so you'd have to draw straight up. And something I think is funny about, "There's and app for that.", because now, "There's about five apps for that.".

What are they? I do have a stylus for the iPad/iPhone. I'm really intending to use it on the iPad's bigger screen.

I'm still on firmware 3.1.3 ... I don't see the need to upgrade to 4.x

Like they say ... If it's not broken --- DON'T F@#% WITH IT!

btw ... I might check the iPad version of WritePad.

Looks cool, I wish they had try before you buy option.

I downloaded the iPad version of Write Pad. It really does work, but I think typing is just as fast.
