Wacom Bamboo tablets are available in Ritchie street among many places
around Chennai. IIRC the smallest model costs between 3-4K.

Is there any way to use a Android mobile (with touch screen) as a graphics
tablet? Technically it is possible but my concern is whether such
application already exists? I am not going to use this for designing (like
working with GIMP etc). I want to take notes while reading books so even
capacitive touch will be enough (no need for stylus or very pixel perfect
drawing).
Install an app in Android mobile or tablet that will capture touch events
and send the co-ordinates to Linux system using USB or some other
interface. The co-ordinates are then captured by Linux and used to draw or
write.
There are 2 ways to implement this in Linux side - a input driver can be
written or a app specific to this can be written. If implemented as a input
device then it will work with many applications this will be a big
advantage (but writing a input driver may need good knowledge). The second
option will be easy to implement but restricts the user to only one
application.
I would like to use this with jarnal application. Jarnal is open source so
it can be modified to read the co-ordinates data obtained from the Android
device.
Thanks in advance.
