Q: 

Possible draw on the iPhone/iPad web page using HTML5?

Is it possible to draw with your finger using the iPhone or iPad in HTML5? If the user were on a PC then the user would need to be using a mouse for the same effect.

+1  A: 

Yes.

Check out deviantART's new drawing tool Muro for an example, and Apple's Safari DOM Additions Reference for an overview of the API.

Cool! I've been on-and-off dA for a while, but I haven't heard of Muro.

It sounds like you're looking for something along the lines of SketchPad. It uses a <canvas> element in browsers that support it (and fakes it in IE).
