As a webapp, not a native app on the iPhone or Andriod. Is it possible to draw with your finger? If so, how?
Anyone have or can provide a barebone simple example that just loads a blank page?
Thanks

A:
You could use the current cursor position to draw on a canvas element the size of the screen.

Can you provide an example or link?

I would use [jqtouch](http://www.jqtouch.com/) to grab touch events. I don't have the time to code up an example, and I've never seen it done.

Like @Josh mentioned. You can use the canvas element which is part of HTML 5

I've googled extensively, but it doesn't seem to work on an iPhone as the touch isn't registering. Which is why I was hoping someone had an example or has accomplished something like this before? Remember this is for a mobile device, and I want drawing to be touch based. Thoughts?

I haven't tried HTML5 on the iPhone (or iPad). Since HTML5 is still "work in progress" and looking at other questions here on stackoverflow, I don't think it's going to be a solid app.You can try to run some of the HTML5 demo apps on your iPhone and see how they render, etc.http://html5tutorial.net/general/new-canvas-examples.htmlSome issues with HTML5 on iPhone/iPadhttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/2998941/iphone-ipad-html5-canvas-filltext-problemhttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/2878580/bug-in-ipads-html5-canvas-drawimage-implementation
