Using iPad as Wacom Tablet?

Using iPad as Wacom Tablet?

An Ipad wouldn't replace a wacom tablet for sure, but I am wondering if it's possible to use an ipad in such way since there are nice styluses out there.

Macbook Pro '07, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

It seems like Ten One Design is reaching something. Hopefully Apple allows them to tweak pressure sensitivity on the iPad. I just watched their demo on an app they are working on but probably not following Apple's protocol( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgTcyjzXfTg&feature=player_embedded). It works like a wacom tablet!

Can't wait for it to become available.

Very interesting video. I like the function that allows it not to leave marks when you hand rests on the tablet. Another idea, if possible, would be to have a stylus that controls the pressure sensitivity in the stylus itself. In this way the ipad itself doesn't need to be pressure sensitive. Maybe have removeable points or tips to mimic different writing of drawing tools. Just an idea might not be realistic or even possible.
