How could I let a user jot a quick hand-written note on an iPad using a Pogo-like stylus? (Or by using their finger, some kind of stylus makes it more legible feasible.)

Initial thoughts:
1) Open GL canvas?
2) Store the output as a .png/.jpg snapshot of the openGL screen (by taking a screenhot of the iPad?
3) Would the note be limited to one screenshot, could there be a scrollable area notepad to write out a long note?
