You need to look at Doceri then. I think it might do the trick. Expensive on the OS end, but a free iPad app to interface.

This is similar to what Seth Godin has been riffing about: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2010/02/ipad-app-of-my-dreams-the-digital-talking-pad.html

Not sure if this covers exactly what you were talking about, but it looks pretty close.

Are you wanting collaborators to be able to edit your diagrams as you work? If that’s not a priority, you could jailbreak the iPad and run veency, a vnc server, on it. Connect from your mac or pc and share that vnc client window with collaborators. The pro of this method is that you get your pick of iPad native drawing apps, which will perform much better than trying to control any drawing app on your Mac or pc.

yeah, then you can just hold it close to your web cam to share!!

Or you could try Air Sketch: http://appshopper.com/productivity/air-sketch

lee – those smart boards look awesome and expensive. i’ve done the wiimote whiteboard before. i still have all the parts i need to set up another one, too… i think… might need to buy another wiimote if i can’t find the one i had.

It may not ease your money woes (unless your company will buy it) but, I’ve used (http://smarttech.com/) smart boards in conjunction with LiveMeeting or GoToMeeting before.

You can also make one yourself (http://procrastineering.blogspot.com/2007/12/source-forge-wiimote-whiteboard.html)

Sam – I haven’t used VNC in years… i’ll have to try that out again. does vnc support multiple monitors? I’m running three monitors and don’t want any of them to be disabled while connected…

cory – you got $1999 i can have? :)

i’ve never been happy with any of the online whiteboard apps that i’ve tried. i want something that is more secure and private – don’t want to broadcast my whiteboards out to the world for anyone to come join in…

i haven’t tried google drawing. we have a corporate google apps account, so i could keep a drawing within our company and shared it with whoever. it’s annoying to have to go through the extra ‘share’ steps, but i’ll give it a shot and see. i’ve had good luck with other google apps so maybe it will be enough
