I just has this crazy idea...

OS X these days has the Inkwell/Inkpad software which allows your Mac to receive handwriting imput (and, with Inkpad, simple sketches) from a variety of graphics tablets, including several which connect via Bluetooth.

Among other things, a Clie (or other Plam device) is, basically, a simple graphics tablet...

I think you can see where I'm going with this.

Is it possible for a Clie to be made to talk to Inkwell/Inkpad via Bluetooth, acting as a graphics tablet?
Has someone written software that will do this?If not - maybe someone could try to do so? (Maybe even with an Applescript - I don't know enough about programming to tell...)

This would, I think, be a massive boost to the conjoned Mac/Palm setup if possible... any thoughts out there?

Interesting, thanks - but they seem top be stuck in the land on OS9. Cheers for the tip anyway.
