Symbol has as part of their SDK something called Flash Pro (but that might
be TRG) or something along those lines. Check out the fourth paragraph at
http://www.symbol.com/products/whitepapers/whitepapers_spt_1500.html to get
info. You can download their SDK.

Yes there is. I think hackmaster helps with this. But I think someone more
familiar can answer this. There was also this REALLY cool app that David
Pogue showed us called "swipe". It allows you to define gestures that cover
the whole device. They used to be called Ronamatics. There is one where yo
ustart from the bottom of the grafitti area and go to the top you can make
that turn on the backlight, get graffiti help. Well swipe will give you a
bunch of these and it's cool. You can find this app at www.doublebang.com.
Hope this helps.
