iPad- could it be used for a digital sketch pad?

[bleupencil]

I've been considering getting an iPad lately. Purchased some sketch and animation apps for my iPhone a while back, but the screen is just too darn small and I never got around to getting a stylus for it so they remain mostly unused.

This topic reminded me of a post over on Louie Del Carmen's blog that I read the other week. He tested some of the stylus' (stylii? what's the plural for that?!!) that are available for the iPad, I thought the results were interesting, despite lack of pressure sensitivity etc. I think if you could get used to changing brush opacity or layering flat colours on top of each other, you could create some great work!

That's a BIG problem, I have to agree. I have to replace my current TabletPC, almost 4 years old now (res 1050 x 1440), and there is no way to find a resolution higher than 800 x 1280 or 768 x 1366 ...

Still only a 1280x800, but it looks like the best to go around for the moment is the Asus eee Pad

Lenovo X220 Tablet sounds also interesting :

768x1368 res. Also it seems to accept i7 core, but only i5 core is on sale actually.
