Hey all-

I was just reading about the OQO 01+ now shipping with Tablet PC and was
wondering:  could a PDA be used as an input device for the PC via
Bluetooth?  Searched the Web and didn't see find anything, but the search
terms were common and brought up a bunch of ads.

To explain a bit more, the idea is that the PDA would act as a "dumb" pen
tablet (a la graphire). It could be kept in a pocket or strapped to a wrist
a la frogpad, and the user would use a stylus for mouse navigation and
handwriting/text entry.

Does such functionality exist for PDAs and if not would there be a barrier
to developing software to make it work?

Best,
Nathan
