I consider Palm's Graffiti only marginally better than the Itablet's mess, and Jot (also known as Graffiti2) as the better of both, mainly because it allows for full-screen text entry. The only reason Graffiti seems fast, is because it forces the user to train and adapt to the computer, which is frankly ridiculous if you think about it.

And am I really the only one who thinks a dedicated text input area is soooo nineteen nineties?
