Whiteboard HD for the iPad, by Avici Software, was released August 4, 2010. It requires iPhone OS 3.2 or later and is only available in English at this time. It is available for a limited time at the introductory price of $5.99 from the iTunes store.
The application allows you to make drawings with the drag of a finger, create work flow diagrams using pre-made shapes and lines with finger tap, pinch and drag multi-touch gesture controls. There are four background options, plain, lined, grids, or picture, and you can import images or diagrams from the iPad photo library. Labels and text boxes can be dynamically placed, sized, and oriented.
Using The App
I experimented with this app by trying out the workflow abilities and was instantly reminded of the “old days” when we did this kind of thing with a plastic template. I know there are some computer apps that will do this kind of thing, but the ability to create a workflow for a project on the iPad has got to be a bonus to a lot of people in the work environment. Particularly since you can instantly email the finished product to everyone who needs to have it.

Once it is placed, you can change the size by tapping the hand icon and the tapping in the center of the shape. You get the familiar dotted lines and corner items that let you enlarge or decrease the size.
