Dan Bricklin was working on something like this for the iPhone, and it'd be a natural fit for the iPad. http://danbricklin.com/log/2009_12_05.htm#notetaker http://danbricklin.com/log/2009_12_05.htm#notetaker

I also look at my dad's fingers, which have enough thickness that he can't comfortably press buttons on smaller devices.
