For all those out there looking for a REALLY cheap alternative to the high end painting software, how about try out this browser-only software. A friend sent this to me but after playing with it a bit I figured it was worthy of posting up here for everyone.
The only downside really is that you can't save 'high res' kind of files. You're more or less stuff with web graphics. But it's still kewl to play with and no doubt just as good as that Nintendo DS painting program.
