AirSketch for iPad review: a realtime browser whiteboard
AirSketch is a new application from Qrayon LLC which, at first glance, seems to be just another basic whiteboard app. Upon closer examination, however, it turns out that the application has one important feature up its sleeve that sets it head and shoulders above the rest: drawing progress can be viewed in real time using any Web browser with rudimentary HTML5 support, as long as it's on the same local network.
The drawing tools in AirSketch are fairly rudimentary; there are five different writing implements to choose from, each with a fixed radius and opacity. These tools include a pencil, a pen, a marker, a paint brush, and a highlighter; the last two are somewhat transparent and respond to color overlay appropriately. There are eight color slots available that you can customize by double-tapping one of the default colors and then using a color picker to select the new color.
