Drawing Tablet app?

Hey all.
Does anyone know if there is an iPad app that would essentially turn it into a feasible drawing tablet for my MacBook? I guess it would be kinda like the Wacom Bamboo tablets. I've tried the air-mouse and remote apps, but those don't register my input very well. The lines were very faded when I tried to use it with SketchBook Pro on my Mac. Even tho the iPad has several stellar drawing apps, I think this would be a super cool idea. Maybe..?
Thanks :o)

MacBook White Unibody, Mac OS X (10.6.6), iPod Touch 3rd gen 32gb, iPad 32gb

One problem is that the iPad's surface can't differentiate pressure, thus one strike against the drawing tablet idea.

Yes, there are apps that allow you to interact with the Mac. However, as stated, you don't get any pressure sensitivity and the accuracy of a capacitive input screen is severely limited. It works fine as a trackpad though.

There is app in appStore named iGraphicPad that transform your iPad in pen graphic tablet. It's compatible with Mac OSX 10.5+, pressure sensitive and work with photoshop.
