Using a PDA as a Drawing Tablet

Is it possible to use a Pocket PC as a drawing tablet for Photoshop purposes?

I'm currently running Windows XP and Photoshop 7.0 and have a Toshiba e755 PocketPC.

And does it explode on a regular basis???

Seriously, I don't think a PDA would have the ram/hard drive space to handle most of what Photoshop could throw at the poor little thing.

I doubt there's any way to make this work, and even if there was, it would likely be worse than your just using a mouse. Besides being smaller, PDA's have much lower resolution than a drawing tablet and don't support pressure sensitivity or other features that make drawing tablets so useful. For $100, a Wacom Graphire tablet will provide far more capabilities than any PDA could.
