Dissect a USB ball-mouse and put a wheel under each wheel, so to speak. It's a reasonably minor hardware hack. The software's not too hard either, although you'll want to hire it out if you're not a coder. You can do it, wry.

So close, and yet so incredibly far. Reminds me of this, which is why I bought my iPad, before finding out it was an April Fool's joke: http://tagn.wordpress.com/2010/04/02/ipad-arcade-stand-april-fools/ Argh, looks like those knobs are decoration only, and there’s no actual Etch A Sketch program built to work with it.

Personally I can never make sense of Etch a Sketches. But I'm surprised that, given the iPad's bluetooth keyboard mating ability, we're not seeing more external hardware interface with it, like two working knobs would have been.
