pretty cool, and quite impressive that it only took you a week. and no need to beat yourself up over it, there’s nothing wrong with putting out something just for fun. does DrawSomething solve any real problems, make the world a better, or make people’s lives easier..? not really (or at all). regarding device issues, any chance of optimizing it a bit for WP as well? it loads up nicely on my device and everything works perfectly up until i actually start to draw, something.. when i try to drag (i.e. draw a line) it just moves my screen around..? also, minor issue, the display also doesn’t quite fill-out my screen and there’s a bar of white space at the bottom (i think this may be because the WP7 browser has fewer menus/less chrome than on iOS and Android, so spacing differs) thanks.

Thanks for commenting, Simba! As to an idea, when showing it to some friends everyone said "its cool" and everything, but at the same time they were asking "aren't there more interesting projects to code?", and frankly speaking until now [1] I didnt have any. As of WP7 I haven't test it at all, simply because I do not have a WP device :( I did 3 trips to Apple store to test-drive everything on iPad (the new one) because there were some minor ongoing glitches (outlook related, not software wise. btw: I am happy to share all my development notes, if someone is interested). I will look for a code to prevent moving screen on WP7, something that is particulary locked on ios/andro, so drawing should work for you soon. I will visit Verizon/ATT shop and will test it thoroughly on your device then, lol :) [1] recently it came to me that HTML5 Canvas could serve as technology for signaturing documents, where Public Notary is not needed. Example: real estate sale. Lots of documents do not require PN to be present. It takes days to obtain those back and forth. The idea is to give attorneys tool to upload legal document, generate unique code and send it to a client that can look it up on his touch-held device and securely sign the document. But obviously I need to do much more research into it. Any comment, welcome! Edit: Simba, if you could send a screenshot of your WP7 device, I could fix all the elements' positioning. Fixing them all at once would prevent from scrolling, as there would be nothing to scroll :) thnx.

  regarding [1], that would be very cool. recently went through the process of incorporating; involved quite a bit of printing, signing, scanning, emailing back, etc.. not being all that technical, i have no idea how you'd implement that.. but, if you could get something like what you described to work (and work in a way that’s hassle free for both senders and signees, as well as secure) that would be very interesting. and screenshots have been sent. thanks,
