[LINK] iPad - where's the pad?

[Stephen Wilson]

But I got the impression that you can paint on the thing.  Some PR 
images I saw of a painting done on the iPad (?) were strongly suggestive 
of actual brushwork, so I guessed that the fancy capacitive touch 
technology would be responsive to an actual brush of some sort.  If so, 
why not a stylus?  In any event, would Apple boycott a handwriting 
recognition app just because the boss is averse?  ;-)
