I'm looking for a solution where I can have multiple people at remote locations 'draw' on a surface to whiteboard together.  Is there some sort of software app that would work well with these things if everyone had one at their location?

Thanks!

Googled for "online collaboration whiteboard" and found this interesting looking online service:

Haven't tried it out yet, and I don't know anything about it - but looks like it might work well.

thank you! so the precision of these touchscreens is such that whiteboarding would be easy and natural feeling?

In using the notes application, I found the touchscreen to be accurate and easy to use. I imagine it would be the same in using a whiteboarding app, although again I have not done it myself yet :)

The nice thing about "whiteboarding" is that you probably won't be writing with very small letters or in very small spaces, making it easy to write with your finger.

If you wanted to do more elaborate or detailed whiteboarding, the TouchSmart supports stylus use (as stated in the manual.) I think some people might prefer a stylus for this kind of solution right off the bat, but that depends on the user!

EDIT: I'd love to hear from others here who have used online collaboration or whiteboard software first-hand... let us know!
