[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1256412, member: 145676"] Although there isn't true Photoshop, or any of the Adobe Apps, there are plenty of add-on apps. I picked up Eazel on sale, but there are several Adobe apps that let you interact with photoshop. [URL="http://www.pcworld.com/article/227542/adobe_photoshop_ipad_apps_arrive.html"]Adobe Photoshop iPad Apps Arrive | PCWorld[/URL] Also - if you believe that the iPad is a toy - watch Kyle Lambert use it to make some incredible drawings.
