This thread made me chuckle.

chronster, I appreciate your honesty to where we all know (but won't admit to) we use our converged technologies the most.

Check out Flip It! It is a paint program but it lets you add frames so you can create animations. You can also export to gif.

Works on the TP but it is a little fuzzy due to being designed for QVGA. Still tons of fun.

I usually surf the web or play Links (golf) or Bookworm. How many of you love the sound of the velcro ripping open in the stall?! (it's the "sound of my addiction" - Mitch Hedberg)

ok, just tried all the free ones on my touch pro and i'm glad to report that they all work still. pdacraftpaint is better than paintce and pencil box, but the three of those are pretty basic (kind of like paint on windows) and you have to manually resize the image on every start if you want the most room to work with.
The best ones are pocket picture and vspainter.... those work incredibly well and have the most options - the sketch pad is already stretched to fit your screen and you can also easily switch to full screen mode, so that the tool bar doesn't get in the way. For now, i'm keeping those two and uninstalling the others.
