there is a freeware somewhere for this (possibly a Microsoft powertoy?), can't remember where now but google for it.
use a screen protector!

I just tried it.. it is awesome....
to bad it's not free any more :cry:

This program will be much easier to use, if the PDA's screen is large..
using this program on a small screen like the magician's will be useless IMHO

Should be fairly easy to re write. Will try to investigate later!

You might want to try this, it's a commercial product, and as such it serves the purpose well.

It has several predifined layout :a drawing tablet, touchpad, numeric pad, presentation controller, windows media controller. You can even create your own layout or modify existing one.

Yep, you should give it a try if you're bored one day or another. The trial works OK... I like the idea of using the XDA as a universal remote for the laptopo via the design mode but as a pure Graphical tablet the thing sucks. And aside from this I have trouble getting decent connections. Direct connections over ActiveSync (USB or Bluetooth) for some reason are the most dodgy. And if they work they are hopelessly sluggigh - i.e. a few pixels movement a second. If you get to work on this, lemme know. I might have the odd idea for a feature.
