Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows of any software available for the Pocket PC that would allow you to use it's touch screen as a mini tablet-style input device for the PC.

I'm sure I've seen something like this before but find it at all.

I'm sorry, I have to admit I haven't searched the forums - but I can't find the search form!! I did look everywhere for it though!

Thanks

The Search link is in the fly-in menu under the forums link on the top bar. Its specially hidden to frustrate newbies :twisted:

Anyways, google is much better at searching ppcthoughts that the built-in search engine.

Actually, TabletPC is an old piece of software. Amorphous Media, who created PPC Tablet (in Menneisyys' second link), also created TabletPC, and PPCTablet is the update to this.

It's well worth a look if you haven't tried it already. I use it very frequently at home and on the road.

This won't help you directly, but I thought I should mention the Seiko Ink Link

it's a great way to transfer the stuff you're writing onto your PC or PDA.

You can use it "live" during presentations for example so the stuff you write shows up on the big screen as you're writing them!
you can use multiple colours and other tools, it's very neat.

it's not that expensive either.
