I know the current iLiad has the hardware for pressure sensitivity, but there aren't any applications that use it, are there?

Yes, I think there's a market for 3rd party applications for the iLiad, but it's probably not huge. I'd pay a reasonable amount for a pressure-sensitive sketch package or a drawing package. I'd pay substantially more for handwriting recognition on the iLiad itself, even if only in the background and only for search purposes. I use my iLiad as a general-purpose notebook and it can be quite difficult to find "notes" content later.

Did you see that on the site somewhere?

I suppose if the document management system is accessed by a web browser, it might be possible to access them directly from the Digital Reader.
