Question: Is there any hardware I can buy to do this

[Shujin]

I know there are pads and stuff you can do autocad and stuff with, but are you able to draw into applications like mspaint or photoshop?

I hate drawing and having to scan it, because some reason I just hate scanners with a passion O_o dunno why.

Also, can anyone recommend a good one?

I really want one I would be able to sketch into mspaint with, not draw...

edit:
atm im looking on ebay and seen this 1 so far http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3680&item=5118692591&rd=1
