Signature Capture App?

So, i had an interview this morning for a job, and have an opportunity to earna great deal of brownie points with the business owners!
They were thinking of purchasing some sort of electronic signature capture device (like fedex or UPS has when you sign for a package) for invoices.. BUT.. I also mentioned my Droid Eris and how it can do so much... Turns out, both of the Owners have DROIDs lol..
Anyways.. I want to know if anyone has seen some sort of application that can capture signatures, and either save an image to be emailed, or email directly from the app..
OR does anyone know a DEV that could create something as simple as this, that I can talk to and relay updates on the APP to the owners of this company..
They seemed really interested in it, and I'm pretty positive it will show a good bit of initiative in saving their company money from the get-go (on my part)
It would be AWESOME to maybe have a custom app built, specifically for their company, but anything at this point (instant gratification method) would help!
Thank you guys in advance!

Sounds like a good idea but it seems like it would be difficult to sign on a capacitative touch screen.

Yeah i understand that part, but I think "finger signing" wouldn't be too bad.. Would there be a way to use some sort of "stylus" maybe with a specialized tip that would actually work on the capacitive touch screen?
I'm mainly just wondering.. I think it would be cool to be able to save thousands of dollars on expensive equipment by using what they already have, and just didn't know they could use it.

Signing would be doable if a person could write one letter at a time. I only really know this because of the google expressions application.

They have styluses for cap screens, My mom has one for her iPad. It was really cheap too
<goes to see if it works with nexus one>

Actually you can build your own. (I tried to post you a link to a how to, but I am not permitted to do so)
mooch

I like this idea, and I think I will work on it. I can't make any promises though, if I choose to do this I will start screwing around with it in the next few days. If you have any feature requests go ahead and post them here. Or you can email me at burlyskink (at) gmail dot com

I have seen a local cable install company use moguls for this purpose

There is a signature capture library available for Android. Search for 'biz.binarysolutions.signature' on the Market. I am not allowed to post links, but the developer's site is hiding behind bit.ly / scfahp

Synapse-Phone Open Customizable Android Super-Phone

I have been searching for the ultimate android device and have found it with this phone. The Synapse-One phone is an Ultra Customizable Superphone. You get to choose everything about this device except the screen (4.0" S-LCD) and the Processor (1GHZ).
The best part is that it ships with 2.2 comes with a 3 year world wide warranty, and only costs slightly more than a phone from a carrier would without a contract.
I think that supporting this company is about the best way you can support an open android Platform. As soon as the site is open for Pre-Orders again I am placing one.
According to reports the phone is shipped with root access. I have emailed the company asking some questions about the SOC and GPU on this device. As soon as they answer I will post them here. If this company does well then we could expect to see Customizable Phones available in the future, which is like the ultimate toy any XDA phone super Geek.
Check out their site HERE!

Mmm..interesting but after I configured my device price got to +500€
I think I´ll wait for hTC to make my perfect device which should include the possibility to switch between WM/WP7 and Android

I have a similar problem, I want everything.
However, I can say that WP7 in it's current implementation is not what I want in a phone. You are aware that any third party app that wants to have Notifications on the WP7 device will have to set up a server to send those updated to the Microsoft server to then be pushed to the phone. Currently no one has this infrastructure in place. It will be some serious trouble to implement.
I think that WP7 has potential but it will be a year or two before it catches up to Android 2.2 and even iOS in its current implementation.
Come on, This phone comes rooted out of the box with 2.2 and you can customize it!!!!

This phone looks pretty slick. After customizing everything for me, it's approx $550. That's similar to the price of the Nexus One.
I would like to know more about the digitizer/touch panel on it. I assume it supports 2-finger multitouch. But I don't want it to have any limitations like the N1. If it's able to support 5 finger like the Galaxy S, it would be awesome. If I could put a S-AMOLED i would rock! But I assume they don't provide that due to Samsung being low on them and only using them on their own devices.

"Coming mid-2011".
Let's assume this won't be scam/they won't go bankrupt - they will start shipping not earlier than Q3 2011 (delays are almost guaranteed with small companies like these). By then the technology will be outdated.
The curse of technology.

Actually the site says that they will ship middle of Q1 2011 not 3rd quarter 2011.

Originally the site had SAMOLED as the screen but they changed it. I suppose that is to do with the shortage of them.....

Looks like some new specs should be added to update Synapse's site. Admin at their support forum indicates comittments to specific requests. http://synapsephones.uservoice.com/...Widget&utm_source=synapsephones.uservoice.com
I emailed them also and will post my results here when reveived. How well/timely they respond to us is obviously important at these earliest stages of dev.
*Update edit*
Three and a half days later with no response. Synapse has an interesting concept but I won't place an order until reviews come in from those who did. The skeptic in me thinks that Synapse-Phones is merely measuring market interest at this point.
*update*
Now over a week and two more emails later, still not a word in reply. Blog seems dead. Order page isn't working. Feedback forum still has a lot of activity.

$250?? what a joke.
just a tip, most coders with the required proficiency would want a lot more than that.
the actual idea is interesting though.

damn I was hoping it was enough. You could sell such an app in the market for a decent amount of money. It would probably be profitable enough, As long as I get a copy I'd still pay the bounty.
Oh well, I was just hoping someone would want to do it cause its the only thing keeping me on WM, and WM7 is not compatible with the software I use now so I'm stuck with old phones from this point on. I just want to go android

Is there a reason why you can not use square? Or just search "receipts" on appbrain: http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=receipts

well I don't know what square is but I have checked for an app that already does what I need and found nothing. I run a mobile business so I am at peoples house and need to print them a receipt for services rendered. there are plenty of apps to email or text people a receipt but nothing to print one. I bought a $500 bluetooth receipt printer a few years ago and it works perfect, but windows mobile is not going anywhere good and android is the future so I am trying to prepare.

ok so I checked out square and it is awesome looking but I need to be able to print an actual receipt. like the little slip you get when you buy anything at a store.

B a bbq tickets!?

Due to Military constraints, I was unable to purchase my tickets for the Austin, TX Big Android BBQ event this weekend. I am writing this thread, with expectation that it will be locked/deleted/or whatever, in the hopes that this community can assist me in acquiring 3 tickets. I found out JUST THIS MORNING that I am not required to attend my Texas National Guard requirements this weekend. I live in Austin, and can meet anyone who can help anywhere/anytime. PLEASE PM me if you can help. I know it's down to the wire, but I've been beating myself for drill falling on this weekend for months now. Good old hurry up and wait green weenie. Thanks in advance!

Somehow I knew that a thread concerning BBQ would have to do with the Great State.
I've never heard of this event, what is it?

It's in Austin...There's a schedule on the site, but supposed to be a pretty awesome event. I wanted to get tickets SO bad, but I wasn't sure till this morning if I could even go at all. Gotta love the Military. Didn't wanna waste my money!

Ya, I checked out the site already. Just curious what really happens there. It is a phone event, so I was curious if everyone sits around and texts each other. I know that's not how it goes down, but still...lol.

I was deployed last year so i couldn't go to it then either. To my knowledge, it's like a mini SxSW Interactive session. amateurs get a chance to get pro tips, everyone gets to show off the latest and greatest, and benchmark junkies get to show off their numbers...all while iPhone users stand outside and smirk in jealousy.

So...no one can help?

March of the Droids - UK Android get together

Hi folks.
We are organising a little Android get together in the UK in March of next year. The event is aimed squarely at Android users, and we 'think' it's the only event of it's kind in the UK. It won't be anywhere near as big and fantastic as the Big Android BBQ state side, but we hope it will at least be as much fun.
We have folk coming from the Three UK media team, Tom Mleko the big cheese from Hyperbees, Tha Phlash the incredible icon designer is coming over from Canada, and HTC have stated they will get involved in some form.
The event will take place on Saturday 9th of March at the MadLab in Manchester running from mid-day to 5-6 O'clock with some snacks and drinks. Although we will be having speakers, and possibly workshop/Q & A sessions, the main focus is getting to know the wider Android community. A large number of Android blogging sites have all given their supprt, as have Clove Technology. With a little luck we will have some goodies to give away on the day as well.
If you are interested you can find out more on the website http://www.marchofthedroids.co.uk/, or comment here and I will try and answer any questions you might have.
Even better is if you can offer support/sponsorship in way as every little help is greatly appreciated.
