For me theres really a gap in the market here, I’m and engineer and frequently need to draw out basic network diagrams and illistations and send them over email quick. a graphics tablet is to much hassle to carry around. Visio is fine for documentation but takes to long, something like the Livescribe pen, don’t care about the Voice, but bluetooth so whatever you draw can be instantly on your PC screen. Does anyone make such a product ?
