Adobe Ideas is a vector drawing application that is now available for the iPad. While it is not Flash support for the iPad, many of the reviews are positive, with user Jaintly claiming "Adobe has outdone themselves with this app."

Amazingly, this app is free, and it includes: 

- Simple vector-based drawing tools

- Zoom control without jaggies (we guess this is a technical term) or big pixels

- Variable-size brushes using Multi-Touch control

- Vector Erasing

- Huge virtual canvas

- Automatic creation of harmonized color themes from your photos or images

- Ability to email ideas as PDF files for editing in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop or for viewing with any PDF viewer

- Gallery-style organizer to quickly scroll through your ideas and color themes

- Separate drawing and photo layers

- Easy creation of multiple versions of design concepts

- 50-level undo

Judging from the specificationss above, Adobe has situated this free app to become a starting point for ideas (no pun intended) that you can export to your computer and finish later using Illustrator or Photoshop. We'd like to think that this is what the iPad is all about.

It will be interesting to see how Adobe's free Ideas app [iTunes link] fairs against Autodesk's Sketchbook Pro [iTunes link], which goes for $7.99.
