Isn't really worth it; A Wacom has at least 256 pressure levels, the PDA has 1 and it's screen is tiny.

There was a project to do this for OS4 devices, and it allegedly works, but there's nothing for OS5 *AFAIK*...

there is at least one you can find with a search but ive tried it it is very unreliable in terms of use.

Here is the last thread that we talked about this, to my knowledge:

Probably the most developed software for this purpose was palmwac (http://ldrolez.free.fr/software/palmwac/). However, you must use a serial cable - not your USB one. This is the main reason why no one can really use it anymore.

From the thread that we were talking about this, it sounded like SharkBoy had come up with a workable program. But I'm not sure if he ever released it? vb_bugg was the last to post there, asking if there were any new developments, but no one replied.
