I saw on T.V. the other day a device called the "Koala Pad."  It is a
pad that one can either hold or place on a table.  The pad can sense position
and send the information to some host machine.  It was being marketted for
games (for ATARI, IBM, and similar systems I think).  It was sort the opposite
of a mouse (all the smarts are in the pad, none in the hand).  I was wondering
if anyone has every used one of these.  Also, this "pad" seems to be a low
resolution device and I was wondering if a higher resolution device exists.
