I use the 810 tablets to collect proof of receipt signatures - bluetooth
barcode scanner to scan the package, script to prepare a form with date,
package data, signee's name and xournal to load the form and sign it.
The documents are rsync-ed to the server. It is a bit of a kludge, but it
works.

I'd love to get an app that would allow me to see and interact with the
N810 screen from both the pad and another computer - that would be great
for signatures at the counter.

I use Xournal for that. It can annotate .pdf documents. I fill out an
ever growing list of forms like that and sign them.

If an application could be made to simply take an input from the device
and forward it to the computer like a graphics pad (i.e. Wacom tablet)
could it also be used for a signature pad? I think having a rudimentary
graphics pad application would be more useful to more people than one
only aimed at signatures (well I'd prefer it anyway!).

Anyway, the idea is good. I don't have the know how to code it, but I
would like to see it.

Signature pad app for maemo tablets?

[Lake Stevens Dental]

A not so complicated maemo app to think about...

It would be nice if there were a secure app (like the Topaz signature
pad ) for using any of
the maemo tablets (770, 8xx, 900, etc) as a 'signature' device that
could (preferably interactively) connect a displayed document to client
signatures.  The interaction could be via wifi or bluetooth or stored
doc-id&sig to be securely transmitted later via any available means.

While the utility of the older tablets diminishes, all these devices
that I'm aware of could support an app that could connect a displayed
(sizable) document with a tablet collected signature for that document.
In other words, display document X in the tablet, give someone a stylus
to directly sign the fully read document and have that either
transmitted or stored in a secure format for business/legal use.   One
could even add a layer of security with a picture of the signee taken by
the device?

Possible uses could be enormous, such as legal documents, medical
consent forms, business agreement transactions, and perhaps even
collecting petition signatures.
