I am now more envious of iPad owners than I have ever been, thanks to the Etch-A-Sketch app. This app turns your iPad into an electronic Etch-A-Sketch, letting you draw and share pictures online.
The only downside to the Etch-A-Sketch app is that there are no knobs to draw with. Still, judging by the sample shots in the gallery above, it appears that epic art is still possible with a little practice and more practice.
