iLiad as a sketchpad?

Hi,

I asked this question on the iLiad forums, but didn't get much response. Maybe this is a better forum for this type of question.

When I think of a replacement for books, I also think of a replacement for the variety of paper notebooks I carry around (for class notes, journal, design notes, etc.) My notes often contain drawings as well as text. Questions:

1 - Has anyone used their iLiad for capturing sketches? How is the existing functionality? How are the sketches when you get them back to a regular computer?

2 - It seems the pressure sensitive functionality of the Wacom screen isn't supported yet. Will iLiad support pressure sensitivity in the sketch feature in the near future?

3 - Are any other enhancements to the existing sketch functionality planned? Are there any estimates of timeline?

4 - Will the iLiad eventually support handwriting character recognition natively? I don't regularly use a PC (I'm a Mac user), so I'd have to go through a lot of extra steps to use PC-based the handwriting recognition software. If I'm going to use this as a replacement notebook, I'd rather have the text parsed and searchable on the iLiad itself.

5 - The eInk screen is now available in color. Is a color iLiad planned? (I think a natural media art program like Corel Painter or ArtRage on a color iLiad would be a killer combination -- or even software like this in grayscale.)

Thanks for any info,

neko
